Background Tutorials Feature I want to share with you a recent gift.  :iconquentinlars: put my work on a video with awesome music.  Check it out on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a842vP67dgQ&feature=youtu.be
The Feature
As art theft and misuse of stock becomes more and more of a problem, we are losing access to some of our best premade background resources.  I think it's essential that we start learning to do our own backgrounds.
In this feature I will be adding some of the background tutorials that I have in my favorites.  This is just a few of some of the great tutorials out there.
If you have any that are not listed, I invite you to add a link in your comment.
Thank you!
In a future journal, I will be showcasing some of our awesome stock artists that still provide free premade backgrounds.
Enjoy!

Transform Portrait Image into Artistic PaintingIn this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to Easily Transform a Normal Portrait Image into an Artistic Painting. We will apply several image adjustments, filters, and Pen Tool to achieve this effect. This tutorial is suitable for those who possess intermediate Photoshop knowledge. Have a try

Note: The Photoshop tutorial is done in CS6 - therefore some screenshot may have slighting different layout as in the earlier version.

Here is a preview of the final effect I have for this tutorial:

Hope you enjoy it

How you painted and then textured the river was particularly helpful for me.

I use mask to erase part of the images that aren't needed so they can blend nicely.
