One of the benefits of using texture to create depth is that its visual noise breaks up any flatness of the paper or screen. Wyeth’s gessoed canvas and Friese’s crumpled renderings have a haptic painterly quality that doesn’t just express what the place looks like but what it feels like as well. And that is our goal in the GRIME tutorial today.
Friese uses a simple technique here that you can easily adopt.
Overlaying Man-Made Materials
Take a close look at the sky. Layered on top of the blue background and white clouds is a crumpled texture. This is a raster image of paper. Overlaying distressed textures on top of finished renderings is a very easy way to delicately pop a particular surface forward or add some visual interest across the whole image.
