It seems after posting my country charm artworks,I've gotten quite a
few e-mails
requesting a tutorial on how I apply and blend textures, while I have
made a tutorial
on the subject before,I decided to make a detailed and lengthy
tutorial.
This tutorial took me the last two days to compose, hope it answers
some questions
and can be of some help.
The tutorial parts 1 and 2 are posted below.
The textures are available below:
Isabelle Ann, Anna Schwensen, and 184 other people added this photo to their favorites.

Thank you so much for this long tutorial - I am very new to multiple layers/multiple textures/and realising what the different blend modes do. So this is a big help. Your site seems to be the best I have come across for texture, they are beautiful and inspiring. Please feel free to check out my first attempt with 2 of yours - here on flickr.

Thanks for your generosity. I used to wonder how many of my FB "friends" achieved the look to their photos. After stumbling upon your Flickr stream, and with careful study, I now recognize many overlays as yours. You, my prolific young man, are my new hero.

Hello. I am new to Flickr. I just wanted to stop by and thank you. For your artworks here and Shadowhouse creations, for your generosity of spirit in sharing your tutorials and tips, for your textures, fonts and oh ....... Just about everything else you willing offer to help others enjoy images and improve their skills. I haven't added you as a contact or made a favourite of an image (like too many anyway) as I have very little profile and you are inundated here!!! Just needed to say a real heartfelt Thank You.
