Luxe Christmas: Abstract Holiday Painted Backgrounds, Gold Accents

Luxe and Festive! Abstract holiday painted backgrounds for all of your social media and holiday designs! These lush and painterly digital backgrounds use a classic, sophisticated Christmas color palette, with greens, reds, and golds carefully sampled from real photos! The brush strokes are expressive, the touches of gold elegant and eye-catching, and all combined they create an effect that is very modern and trendy. Add a touch of elegance and style to your holiday creations with these beautiful painted backgrounds!  I actually came up with this technique while I was creating THIS abstract Christmas tree illustration! Follow along with the tutorial if you want to see how I layered the brush strokes using my Watercolor Tie-Dye brushes, as well as my Textile inspired brushes. For the gold accents, I used my Instaglam and 24K Gold layer styles! After I got started, I just went mad, creating a ton of variations! I love how the backgrounds with the green bases imply a Christmas tree backgro
