Inspired by the weathered beauty of centuries-old frescoes, worn plaster walls, and aged European architecture, Fresco is a collection of 70 richly detailed fine art textures filled with authentic character.

From softly faded blues and muted greens to warm ochres, terracottas, dusty mauves, creamy neutrals, and deep earth tones, every texture captures the timeless elegance of surfaces shaped by age. Cracked plaster, worn pigments, subtle distressing, and beautifully imperfect finishes create backgrounds that feel both historic and artistic.

Designed in portrait orientation for maximum flexibility, each texture can easily be rotated, cropped into square compositions, extended into panoramic formats, or adapted for virtually any project.

Whether you're creating painterly portraits, vintage still life imagery, digital artwork, mixed media designs, scrapbook papers, fine art prints, book covers, or textured paintings, Fresco adds depth, atmosphere, and an unmistakable Old World charm!

Inside you'll discover:

• 70 high-resolution fine art textures
• Richly aged plaster and fresco-inspired surfaces
• Beautiful cracks, distressed finishes, and subtle patina
• Warm earth tones, muted blues, soft greens, dusty roses, and vintage neutrals
• Perfect for portrait backgrounds, still life photography, digital composites, mixed media, painting references, and printable designs

Bring centuries of timeless beauty into your creative work with Fresco—a collection that celebrates the elegance found in weathered walls and the quiet artistry of time itself.

Mask your subject's photographic background away to blend right in with this variety of textures, creating new works of art featuring your favorite subject(s). You can also use these texture backgrounds as the beginning for your digital paintings, whether hand painted or painted in various digital software.

Use these backgrounds "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. These also make wonderful beginning backgrounds for your digital paintings!
