I love Jon Klassen's work. He scans in paint or charcoal textures then colors them; that's easy. What I don't understand is how he colors those textures to get all the blended color within a texture - how it has multiple, blended colors in one. It looks so smooth and natural. Anyone have any clue? Thanks!
Hi
You could try something like below
Set the scanned layers (in my case I just used sections of a black & white image of a paving stone texture that I had handy) to blending mode multiply.
Clip a layer to each (Alt-Click on the border) and set that new layer to blending mode color. Then brush on color with a soft brush.
I have shown the blending modes in the layer names
