Winter Edit With Texture Overlays in Luminar Neo Including Two Free Textures

 Last January we had some days with snow and people were rushing out to have some fun with it before all melted away, which is often the case were I live. I took my camera and went out into the falling snow and saw some people from my neighbourhood with their kid sleighing down a small hill nearby.  Here is the finished edit of the scenery: Enjoying A Winter Day RAW - Edit in Luminar Unedited RAW Image -  I started with the Enhance AI tool.

Green pastel brush
Aus Free texture


Feel free to use it in your personal and commercial artwork, but do not claim it as your own and please no re-selling!
I have a texture group on flickr, it would be nice if you post your work over there, if you have an flickr account!

Thanks.

Summer Wave
Tip: to bring out the brush strokes more clearly I used two layers of the green pastel brush texture.
The first one was set at Colour Burn 47% opacity/ 55% fill and the second one at Vivid Light 17% opacity and 57% fill.
Doubling texure layers and using different blending modes works quite well.

Have a nice day!
