New Class

I'm taking another on line class called Fine-Art Grunge Compositions, given by Sabastian Michaels.
Kim Klassen recommended the class and I'm into the 2nd of 4 module now and have found it terrific.
Module 1 is mostly  a overview of how  to use Photoshop & Lightroom. Working through the videos in Module 1 (there are over 60 in total for the class) was a refresher course for me and well as picking up some new tips.
I'm now starting Module 2 and completed one of the suggested assignments.
I started with this photo which I found on Deviant Art.

I cut out the background and made my own textured background. I then played with adding texture,  brushwork, and changing the blending modes on several different layers.

And here is the finish page.
