Texture and depth sing in this richly luminescent Old Masters inspired collection!

60 Classical Neutrals
24 Classical Golds
Reference guides

PLUS BONUS

13 Color Hand Painted Watercolors

Reference guides

The smallest size of the smallest side is 7024 pixels. While these vary greatly in sizes as "sweeps" are included, the longest side can be as large as 24000 pixels! The Bonus watercolors' smallest side's size is over 2800 pixels. This collection is perfect for high resolution editing, digital painting, and building your texture library both as overlays and as physical textures (known in Photoshop as "Patterns" and "Textures" in Corel Painter). These high resolution files will open in any program that opens jpegs. They're versatile in editing using layer mode changes, background swaps, texture palettes (Painter), and using as clone sources.

The black and white watercolors are highly recommended to be used as TEXTURES in your digital paintings (load in the texture palette in Painter and Pattern palette in Photoshop)!

These backgrounds may not be resold, altered for resale, or used to train, feed, or seed any AI generator or dataset.

Love that Old Masters varnish aesthetic?

Portrait by Linda Packard

Simply overlay one of these golden toned beauties! Try multiply, overlay, soft light or hard light modes in Photoshop! The image seen above used Classical Golds 08 in soft light with minor masking for that "old world" edit.

These hand painted creations are exceptionally versatile with both the full length edit and head and shoulders in mind! Flip them horizontal for groups!

Please note that photographic samples are not included in the download.
