You too? Oh, of course you do! Definitely.\u003cbr\u003e Don't you also admire those delicate, romantic floral images you find from time to time when browsing the web? Airy, light and incredibly fragile formations - impossible to find something like this in the nature. Those formations look like paintings but they are not. They are photographs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As well, the romantic ocean views evoke our longing for the sea and the beach. Still, other photos that look as if they had sprung from the distant past. Painted on canvas, painted on wood, painted in times of the romantics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As different as all those pictures may be, they have two things in common: First, they are layered with one or more textures and digitally retouched. Secondly, the intention was not to improve the picture, to let it look “like it was“, but to transform an imagined reality into visible truth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Before pictures can turn into art, the question of “How do I work with textures at all?” presents itself. Because art and skill are invariably linked, and skill is derived from knowledge, the first requirement you have to attain is this knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But you don't have to reinvent the wheel. That's the reason why we created this little e-book for you. We have compiled lots of tips, inspiration, a step-by-step-guide and interviews on the topic of “texture”.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Content\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1.
