The effect in this tutorial is pretty nice and quite effective, but unnecessarily labor-intensive. The first 3 minutes is devoted to creating a faux-sand image. I followed the tut exactly to make the image below, so you are welcome to use it and resume the tutorial at 2:46 minutes. However, you can use any other similar image as well. For the image below I started with one from Pixabay. I found the Dry Media Brushes worked well. I suspect this technique would work just as well with snow or maybe even water!  |

but unnecessarily labor-intensive. Tom - I think the purpose of the tutorial was to make your own sand paper - to learn how to use the various tools to get to the end result. However, that seems to go against most of what Panos does. He usually gives us actions so we don't have to do the work. LOL Although almost everything is available on the 'net if you look hard enough, it's more fun to learn a new technique than to grab a ready-made sand paper someone else has made. However, it's great that we have both options. And yes, I grabbed your sand paper.  |

You may well be right about that Janice. I can say that I didn't get much in the way of insight following that part of the tut though, but that could just be my natural thickness at play! I did get quite a bit from the subsequent material though, and ideas for extending the technique.
