How to use paper overlays!!! (Patreon)

Henlo frens some of you asked how I use the paper overlays so here's a quick explanation!! 

First, insert the photos on your canvas.

Remember to put the papers on the TOP of all your layers! 

There's this option for blend modes on layers that you need to adjust! Changing the blend mode of a layer will affect how it interacts with the other layers. 

If you just put the paper on top, you'll literally just see the paper. Depending on what blend mode you change the layer to, it can blend, change, or make bottom layer's colors darker or lighter.

There's NO SPECIFIC blend mode you need to use. The blend mode to use depends on the color of your background.

You also have to change the background into some color for the paper layer to be visible. Some paper layers doesn't show if you only set the background to pure white! If you want a white background, just adjust the bg color to something close to white but not pure white.

Also!!! Changing the blend mode will make the texture super intense and that sometimes affect the visibility of the details on your painting, so you have to LOWER THE OPACITY of the paper texture layer. 

Here's what it will look like if the paper layers are not on TOP!! The texture is only seen on the background, no texture visible on the painting!! 

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you guys have any questions!!
