creative genius
One of our favorite vendors, Design Aglow, is back for a guest post – and a special “Stroke of Genius – Creating Painterly Portraits” giveaway! Read on…
In less than 10 minutes and with 10 easy-to-follow steps you can take your photographic images and turn them into beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
Each of the included Fine Art Overlays were created by hand using a combination of painting techniques and various brushes to add another layer of depth and dimension to your artwork.
These are unlike any other overlays you have ever seen and can be used alone or in various combinations to take your imagery to a whole new level of art. We have set this product up so that a beginner in Photoshop can easily use it yet we left it in a format where the more experienced Photoshop user will have full creative control. We encourage you to play with the blending modes, opacity, hue, contrast and lightness/darkness of each layer to create your own unique looks.
You can now easily transform your photography into gorgeous and unique artistic pieces. What’s more, as your top level offering, you can sign each portrait, an assurance of attention to detail and care to even your most discerning clients. Add this unique, upscale offering and get your studio noticed!
This is one truly creative and amazing product that will be a great addition to all photographers’ creative toolboxes.
Created exclusively for Design Aglow by Kimberly Wylie and Richard Sturdevant to help you bring your images to a whole new level.
Save $20 in the shop today until 9/23 with special introductory pricing.
