In this tutorial, Mark Mayers guides you step-by-step through the process of combining photos, vector files and paint textures together, using blending modes, Magic Wand selections and opacity to achieve a look that’s at once edgy and polished.
Before touching your computer, dig out your long-forgotten paints and brushes, roll up your sleeves and paint a series of background textures. Use thick paint on board for an impasto effect, and a dryer brush on canvas to capture the texture.
