Select it: Make sure the top layer is selected. Layer it: In the Layers panel, place your texture image on top of your background image.

Choose it: Add your texture image by selecting File Place Embedded, then navigate to where your texture image is saved. Because of this each texture, backdrop and overlay released for the public is entirely unique and only available here for you to use in your own creative projects and commissions. Open Photoshop and import the image you want to add texture to. Notice that black appears on the white layer mask as you paint. The “Golden Age” Collection is a digital stock only created for artists by an artist: every texture is handmade by Laura Sheridan herself with the utmost care, love and passion for her craft as award winning photographer and professional artist. Paint over the places where you want to remove the texture. No matter if you’re a photographer, digital artist or composite artist.

Use these for your backgrounds to add that first final touch or use them as one of the many layers to express your own artistic voice - the options are endless. Now you too can transform your own work with almost a few clicks into a digital painting. Because of that I’ve started making my own overlays and textures, resulting in a library of unique handmade textures. Oil paintings have always been a major inspiration behind my work. You can find “ The Golden Age Volume 1” here.

Important notice: This is a single digital texture from the “The Golden Age Volume 2” Collection
