Working with Textures with Jane Lazenby

Jane Lazenby is best known for her creative and equine images, many of which reflect her previous career as a professional portrait artist. This presentation introduces the world of textures, adding a creative and artistic flair to your images. The goal is not only to understand what a texture is, but also to understand when to use them. Jane will discuss sourcing and creating textures with examples of her own award-winning images, then how to use blend modes followed by three different methods of how to apply textures to an image.

This presentation includes a live edit where Jane will take between 3-5 images and apply textures from her own stock to create final pieces, narrating every click en route. Jane believes that seeing the process happen 'for real' is a very valuable way to learn, so the presentation will travel slowly and clearly through the technical aspects.
