I’ve been experimenting with tea bags and water to create some custom grunge stained paper textures, I wanted to see how different they would be from water colours but there’s not a lot of difference to be fair, I am going to keep experimenting any way, so this is the first batch and hopefully the next batch can bring some more refinements.
These 20 textures are also at a high resolution to cover most working areas and are ideal to be edited, such as colour adjustmets and cropping
