CREATING YOUR OWN TEXTURES COURSE SALE ENDS TONIGHT!
THE COURSE IS COMPLETE!!!
The Course contains just shy of ELEVEN HOURS OF VIDEOS and over 160 PAGES OF NOTES & RESOURCES! In addition to the videos and notes, you receive well over 100 texture images, plus brushes and gradients!
Regular price $129 Save $20 with coupon code COURSE20 This is the lowest price that this course will ever be!! ENDS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT EDT!!
Tomorrow, the price will increase to $179! So, don’t wait!
If you haven’t joined the party, jump on in!! This will be the last time the course is offered for $109! The course is self-paced, and you may download the videos as well as all of the PDF instructions to use at any time.
You will learn how to create your own textures and then modify them for even more textures! Use Photoshop filters, brushes, Procreate on iPad, and your smartphone to create/photograph textures, and then modify or change those textures with plug-in software, brushes, phone apps, and by blending multiple textures, using gradient maps, changing color palettes, and much more. And you’ll learn LOTS of techniques to create textures by hand at home with free or inexpensive supplies – mostly things you’ll find around the house!
Modules 1-9 contain all of the projects for various ways to create and modify textures. Module 10 has resources and the replays of our two group chats. I’ll be scheduling another chat in September. We also have a private Facebook group just for course participants to share creations and ideas and ask questions.
And...in the future when I add new material or update any materials in the course, you will be able to access the new material all for the same low price (I already have some new ideas and techniques I want to add to the early modules)!

Q&A FROM THE WEBINAR
Q:“I can’t add additional effects in Color Efex 5. How do I do that now?” A: In the previous versions of Color Efex, you had a button below the right panel that said “Add Filter”. That button is now gone! Instead, when you hover over a new filter in the left column, you’ll see a “+” sign. Click the plus sign to add the additional filter.
Q: “Where are the notes in the purchased file?” A: There are TWO downloads with the purchase of the notes. One folder has all of the images from the projects, the other folder has the notes and bonus textures (I have to limit the file sizes for the online store).
Q: “Can you adjust the opacity in Silver Efex?” A: No, it applies the effect at full strength. However, once back in Photoshop (since Nik makes its own layer), you could lower the layer opacity if desired.
Notes: Apparently I’m late to the party in knowing this trick! When you want to copy a control point, I’ve always used the little “copy” button on the row with the control point. An easier way is to hold the ALT/Option key and click on the first Control Point, then just drag the new one to the new spot!
The notes for the above mentioned webinar areavailable in the Peacock Studio store!
As always, the package includes the PDF of the notes, as well as all of the images and textures used in the projects, PLUS a bonus set of 6 Sparkly Bokeh Textures!
A bargain at the regular price of $7.50 – and a steal at just $5.00!

CREATING YOUR OWN TEXTURES COURSE
I began recording Module 9 (our final Module) Friday! What fun to create textures by hand and NOT on the computer! If you’ve been on the fence about the course, now is the time to purchase before the price goes up!
Regular price $129 Save $20 with coupon code COURSE20 (coupon expires 8/1/22)
If you haven’t joined the party, jump on in!! The course is self-paced, and you may download the videos as well as all of the PDF instructions to use at any time.
You will learn how to create your own textures and then modify them for even more textures! Use Photoshop filters, brushes, Procreate on iPad, and your smartphone to create/photograph textures, and then modify or change those textures with plug-in software, brushes, phone apps, and by blending multiple textures, using gradient maps, changing color palettes, and much more. Module 9 will contain LOTS of techniques to create textures by hand at home with free or inexpensive supplies – mostly things you’ll find around the house!
Modules 1-8 are released and people are creating some awesome new textures! Module 9 will be released later in July! We already have Module 10 for Resources. AND…also included with the course are group chats – we’ve had two so far which were recorded and have been added to the Resource module for those who could not attend “live”. We also have a private Facebook group just for course participants to share creations and ideas and ask questions.
The first eight modules contain almost seven and a half hours of video tutorials PLUS the written PDF instructions, AND well over 100 texture images, plus some brushes and gradients!
And...in the future when I add new material or update any materials in the course, you will be able to access the new material all for the same low price (I already have some new ideas and techniques I want to add to the early modules)!
Don’t wait…the base price will be increasing once the last Module is released!

NEW PRODUCT – PS BRUSHES!
My friend, Gavin Phillips, just completed an all new set of 2500 Photoshop Brushes! This HUGE set of brushes contains many different styles – Grunge, Vintage, Shapes, Arrows, Splatters, Lines, Smoke, Water Effects, Watercolor, Circles, Flora, Strokes, and MUCH more!
Now that all the technical stuff is squared away, everyone is busy with the first 10 projects in Module 1! Module 2 has been released! There are 9 Modules in the course (plus resources) with LOTS of techniques for you to try! All of the computer projects were completed in Photoshop CC. These projects can also be completed in any program that can do layers (PS Elements, Affinity, OnOne, Gimp, and countless others.).
And, of course, once you create these awesome textures, you can “mix and match” methods to modify them for even more new textures!
I’ve also set up a private Facebook group for course members only to share textures they create and projects they use them in. Grab the course and come join us!
Come join us in Northeast TN for a Spring or Fall “Barns & Back Roads Workshop”! 3+ days of photographing old barns, houses, stores, and more (maybe some old cars and even some landscapes)!
We begin the first day with a complimentary welcome dinner to get to know each other and plan the next three days! I plan on having you photograph two full days and on the 3rd day photograph for a bit in the morning, then we’ll work on images. Bring your laptop if you have one, or you can watch me demo on mine. Car pooling is mandatory on this workshop (you’ll ride with me) as many areas have little parking. We’ve gotten to know many property owners and we’ll be able to access those properties up close.
Optional add-on: We have two guest rooms (one with a queen bed and one with 2 twin beds) so you can stay with us. There are two hotels within five miles of the house as well.
This is the first day in weeks that I haven’t been running flat out!! Not that I’m complaining – I’m happy and blessed to be busy doing what I love! Dave & I appreciate all of the lovely emails and messages about the Conference – we’re so happy you all enjoyed it! I think this was an exceptionally great line-up of talented presenters (not that the others haven’t been good too!). We’re already working on lining up another stellar event for June 25-26, so mark your calendars!
