In this step, we're going to give our image a traditional painting-like appearance. To start, open Canvas Texture White Paper. Next, activate the Move tool (V) then drag it on our canvas.
Once on our canvas, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and then resize the Canvas Texture White Paper to fit the canvas.
The result:
Once done transforming, set the Blending Mode and Opacity to the following:
- Blending Mode: Multiply
- Opacity: 70%
It should appear like this:
Next, open Grungy Paper Texture v.5 and then move it to our canvas using the Move tool (V). Once moved, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and then right click on the canvas to bring up the contextual menu. Once the menu is open, click on Rotate 90 CW.
The result will be like this:
Now resize Grungy Paper Texture v.5 to the size of our canvas.
