playing with texture

i first photo (top left)

is of my encaustic painting from last week

in photoshop i desaturated the colour (top right)

the bottom two have photo filters on them

to see what the texture would do
i opened a photo of a tree added the b/w texture on top
and after trying on all the blending modes
i settled on exclusion


with a bit a script and a grunge frame from shadowhouse
blending modes set to darken and linear burn
and there you have it
