That's exactly where I put my backdrops. Behind my Livingroom couch. When my wife finally discovered them there, she had a hissy fit. I asked her why is she so angry? You didn't noticed them until you started cleaning which was about two weeks later. I eventually put them back and she still hasn't noticed them. Great Video, keep up the great work. And Thank You sharing!
This looks like a good method. I did some smaller backgrounds differently. I cut a 6x6 foot canvas for close up portraits. I don't remember how much I spent but it was probably more. First I took 6 foot long 3/4 x 3/4 inch square wood and screwed together a 6x6 wood frame. I stretched the canvas on to the frame using thumb tacks all around. This held the fabric stretched tight. I then applied 3 coats of gesso. Gesso is pretty much the standard primer material for painting on canvas. After the gesso dried I applied my colors. For paint colors I used acrylic art paint sold in tubes (large tubes). You can thin the paint with a little water. My canvas was heavier and with the gesso base alone light will not pass through. It is on the heavy side after painting. When a canvas is stretched on a frame spraying water from a pump spray water bottle on wrinkles will remove the wrinkles as the water dries; no iron needed.
I agree with everyone here -- best tutorial on painting your own canvas yet! Do you let the second coat dry before applying the texture layer? Thank you so much for this great video!
Thank you so much for the feedback! No, I don't intentionally wait between coats of paint. By the time I get to the end of the first coat, the end where I started is already dry. Plus, I do live in the Arizona desert where things dry quickly. I have a small favor to ask, help me keep making free DIY tutorials with the new Super Thanks button located below the video.

Yours is the very best technique that I've seen documented yet. I really appreciate how much detail you included here. Thank you for this! An unexpected takeaway for me is that having matching canvases for both BD and ground is terrific. I have resisted using my expensive Gravity canvases as a ground so far as I really don't want them scuffed. But your DIY ones are so cost-effective that wouldn't matter anywhere near as much.
I don't really comment on youtube but I wanted to say thank you. This is the most useful breakdown of how to do this on your own that I've seen and I don't feel like I have to shell out $500 to buy one of these premade now!
I love this technique, definitely going to try this next time. I've painted one 5x7 backdrop so far, it looks good but for next time I'm sold on the idea to get the actual primed artist canvas on a roll and get really good quality thick backdrop. I think it's worth it.
Watched several videos and this is the best. Thank you. One other quick tip is to keep an eye on ‘oops paint’ when you shop some of these home improvement stores. Sometimes you can find at least one, if not all the colors you need, even flat. You can’t beat $9 a gallon or $2 a quart. Samples are also great way to save for smaller projects.
Thank you for the feedback! :) I just posted it, so I don't think too many people know about it yet :) I'm totally cool with you sharing it if you like :)
Nicole-one workaround that I DID do right (did plenty not that well) was I used wide blue painters tape to form a bridge over the gaps/cracks in my basement floor (nastier than your garage floor gaps). 2 slightly overlapping lengths formed a nice surface so that I did not have to slide my plastic and backdrop canvas around to avoid painting over them. Worked like a charm!
Great video Nicole! I have painted around 5 backdrops now, some washed, some not. I like to pre-wash them because I think that it makes them a bit softer and more flexible. Personally I don't think the wrinkles take away from the look. I also like to use everything watered down around 50/50. I put down a primer coat first to keep the base coat from coming through. Plus, it seems that in that case I only need one coat of the base coat. I hand sponge on the texture coats with a natural sponge. I also use a 10 foot x 1 inch black iron pipe to hang mine, but I have curtain brackets mounted to a big bookcase. The iron pipe hardly bends at all.
Thank you for sharing your techniques! That's awesome you have an iron pipe to hang them on. I bet that works really well to avoid any sag in your backdrop.
Thanks @@NicoleCarsonBonilla , Lowes sells the iron pipes threaded on each end. They also sell end caps for them. I use PVA primer from Lowes, and that is really inexpensive. Love your work by the way!
Thank you for such an informative tutorial! I like to drill holes in the ends of the PVC tube and attach the canvas with industrial velcro strips. This way, I use the PVC as the crossbar and there are no issues with the dipping in the middle. :)
This is the best tutorial I have found so far for a DIY Fine Art portrait background! Thank you for this! I know making videos is a lot of work. Can't imagine also doing it while painting the backdrops. Thank you for great sound , and giving such great details on the process! They look beautiful and you gave me confidence that I totally can do this! I didn't even think of making two at the same time to have them match and use for floor and backdrop. I will use your link( hope you get a kickback!) to buy another!

Hey Nicole, thank you so much for sharing your experience on this, I've been scouring the web / youtube for tutorials on this and this is by a 'royal mile' the best tutorial I've seen so clear and concise and leaves you with exactly the knowledge to go and create your own versions. Much appreciated.
I have made several backdrops and am still fine-tuning them. I come from a fine art background so I want to do some hand-brushing too. Your video gave me the foundation for starting a backdrop. It is making me want to paint large paintings. I am working on several of them. Thanks again for such a great easy to understand video. Keep it up! I will send you the images once they are ready.
The most thorough video with the best narration and right to the point! You are amazing and your photos are incredible too! I am tired of buying backdrops at $400 a pop! For the cross bar, you can add another upright with a smaller tripod...
This is terrific! In searching for canvas, I noticed that solid colored canvas drop-cloths are also available. More expensive, but I imagine that you could buy a dark gray one, and then just use black as the texture color over it. That would save two base coats of paint - both materials and labor. Maybe a bit more expensive in the end, but much less work and mess. And thoughts about that idea?
Hi Max, yes, I think the colored dropcloths would work great! I haven't tried them yet, but I think they're a great idea and would require less painting. You could add one diluted layer of paint to get the desired texture. Let me know how it turns out if you try it :)
@@gentletummy Thank you. It occurred to me that the only issue might be that they could have some shine on them. But as you say, adding a diluted layer of mat paint would take care of that.
Thank you! I am hoping to start painting my own backdrops to get a more fine art portraiture look and have been leary of trying it. I now will try it soon!
One of the better canvas videos I’ve seen. The only thing I might have done differently for coverage sake would use a primer paint before final coats. You may have done that and I didn’t pickup on this in your video. Great ideas..thanks.
Thank you for the feedback David. I have not primed any of my canvases. I prefer to keep them as light weight as possible and I haven't found it necessary for color coverage.
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. You've inspired me to go paint my own drops, which literally will save $100's considering shipping costs to Australia.
I did this after following your tutorial. The thing that I screwed up is not making sure that the canvas was square when I let it dry. This made it so that rolling it up, the total footprint of the canvas was longer when rolled up. I also wish that I had done the second layer of paint while the first layer was still wet.
Thank you for putting together such a great demo. I've seen a few using various techniques, but I think yours is the simplest and will likely follow suit. The washed vs unwashed is really interesting (and you've saved me a couple of hours!). I have a couple of questions; - Have you used muslin with this or a similar process? Is canvas the best material for backdrops? - What colour combo's can you recommend? I see myself making maybe 3 of these, with base colours of 1) grey, 2) brown and 3) pink
Two thumbs up for such a great tutorial. I was not able to find Sea Sponge Roller locally so ended up using a small towel. For everyone: If you are not able to find a Sea Sponge Roller, use an old T-Shirt or a small towel, it's messy but you will get better results. + At the end, once done with the paint job, let the canvas completely dry (let it sit as is for few hours) and then steam it using a steamer. This will help colours blend a little better by softening any hard lines or edges.
@@NicoleCarsonBonilla thank you as well. One more thing that I figured out and have tried is… instead of ironing, using a steamer will partially shrink the canvas before you paint but will still maintain the crispness of an unwashed canvas. Best of both worlds (means something in between the washed and unwashed)
Very cool! I wonder could you attach the canvas to the PVC pipe then just loosen one of the stand attachments and slide the crossbar through the pipe? It would allow you to roll it out and roll it back on. Maybe it's too heavy that way.
@@NicoleCarsonBonilla I guess in the sense that I can repaint, you're right, but I sure wasted a lot of paint with less than desired results. Your drops look wonderful and this video is inspiring me to try again after this heatwave.
