Foundations is perhaps the most luscious and richly painted background texture set I’ve created to date! This expansive collection features 97 hand-painted texture backgrounds designed to bring a timeless, painterly touch to your photo art. Each texture was created on a range of authentic surfaces—including traditional canvas, linen canvas, concrete, stone, and even leather—offering a tactile richness and visual depth that set this collection apart.

Inside Foundations, you’ll discover a variety of brushwork styles, from smooth and subtle to richly textured with thicker paint applications. The color palette is deeply inspired by the work of the old masters and the tones of times past—earthy, muted, and softly glowing—infusing your art with a sense of atmosphere, age, and quiet sophistication.

Although the textures are created in a horizontal (landscape) orientation, they are equally effective when used vertically (portrait style), giving you full creative flexibility in how you apply them!

Use Foundations as a grounding base for portraits, composites, or fine art photography—or layer it over your images to enhance color, light, and texture. Whether you’re building your vision from the ground up or finishing a piece with subtle painterly depth, this set was made to support your creative process in every layer.

A true studio essential, Foundations offers a foundational base of tonal surfaces for painterly photo art—rich in detail, surface, and timeless style.

Use these textures "as is" to add a painterly feel to your photographs by placing them on a layer under your subject and masking away the subject's original background. Using your transform tool in your software, you can stretch them and position them exactly where you need them for your art. You can also use these textures as overlay layers to enhance existing photos or to add unique color tones throughout your artistic images. These also make wonderful beginning backgrounds for your digital paintings!
