Textures – Working Creatively – April 2025

Adding textures can give an artistic feel to your work.

It provides you with the ability to make your images individual and helps when developing a personal style. They can be used to give a painterly look and help blend elements of images when making composites.

In these three online classes you will learn how to apply textures using a number of blend modes.

How to create new textures from blending your own work. Use textures to give depth to pictures and we will create a composite image from using blend modes and compound blending.

This online class is limited to 30 students to allow plenty of time for questions and personal help from Jonathan.
