Free Textures For Your Art

Ever look at a piece of art with a distressed or dappled look to it and wonder what crazy process the artist used? Well you’re in luck! The distressed look is actually easier to achieve than you’d expect; all it takes is textures.

From old crinkled paper, to chipping paint, to splotches of paint, textures can be made up of almost anything and are an artist’s best friend. They can provide a finishing touch and extra element of intrigue to any art piece. Best of all, they’re crazy easy to use for how much they enhance your piece.

And we wanted to give you some free, custom textures by our very own Katie Lukes to try out! The textures Katie creates are what give her (already awesome) art that slightly distressed, artistically grainy finishing touch that you see in the Creative Resource featured images that make our blog look awesome.
