Create a fine art textured look with your photos…

You can create a fine art look with your photograph by simply applying a texture. A texture layer addition can increase the depth, dimension, and drama of a photograph. It is one of the easiest ways to create a more expressive image. A texture layer can be anything you wish, from painterly looking brushstrokes, to a coarsely textured canvas, to old grunge that appears in the viewfinders of antique cameras. 

Texture can add more personality to an image. You can make a digital image look like an old photo by simulated film effects, or make a photo look more painterly or impressionistic, or even create something more contemporary and abstract. Textures can be applied to a still life, landscapes, portraits… anything goes! 


For this photograph taken in Santorini, I added a beautiful texture called Brushed Rose from Flypaper Textures.  This accentuates the color and texture throughout the image, creating an artistic look, and is very easy to do.
