Paint your own professional looking textured backdrop for your next photoshoot using my favorite method. It’s cost-effective, easy and produces a professional result. I’m going to show you step-by-step how I hand painted a charcoal gray set of backdrops for my portrait studio. I’ll include where I purchased my supplies and my method for applying texture. I’ll also show you how I use them in my studio and how I store them when they’re not being used. I will also answer the burning question of whether or not to prewash your canvas by showing you the results of both options. I’ll show you how you can paint your own 9x12’ canvas for about $60 to cover paint and the canvas assuming you already own rollers. I’m inspired by the commercial hand painted backdrops from Unique backdrops, Gravity backdrops and Oliphant backdrops that are beautiful and expensive. My method creates backdrops for my high-end creative portrait photoshoots with the Vanity Fair magazine style.
