    Oliphant insists on using 12 oz canvas. How much difference do you think there is between 10 and 12 oz? What advantages could there be by using 12 oz? Many backdrop painters also prime their canvas first, or purchase primed canvas before painting. You don't do this, yet you seem to have good results. Do you think using a primer/paint product is enough? Is that why you didn't prime first? Excellent video.

    Too bad these colors are no longer available, and the color codes shown here don't match existing colors. Also, prices in my area are reaching $65 a gallon for these custom-color brands. Not an inexpensive gamble.

    You MUST use a proper respirator and filters when working with spray adhesive...breathing that stuff is very, very bad. If you use it in your living space like you see here, it's going to go everywhere, so put drops over anything you don't want coated in adhesive (like those dining room chairs)

    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

    • @hankkingsley9183
      @hankkingsley9183 Před měsícem

      The thing is, once you factor in the value of your time spent shopping, making them... it often makes more sense just to buy them, considering that they are a business expense / write-off. Though it doesn't make a guide like this any less valuable! But that's why pro photographers often just buy things like v-flats, because if you spent the time making v-flats instead shooting paying clients, on balance you didn't cut your own throat.

      @gentletummy Před 4 měsíci

      Hi Susan, that's awesome you have a chance to travel :) I haven't folded any of my painted canvases so I can't advise on the outcome. I would recommend folding up a few inches on the corner of one of your backdrops, press it down for 24 hours, and then unfold it and see if the paint cracks. At the very least, you will most likely have to iron out any creases at the location you're using it at.

    Fabulous! Just be very careful to ventilate your space well when spraying that glue, and be extra careful not to let it get on anything but the boards. I'm not sure I'd want to use that in the house.

  • @maxhighstein
    @maxhighstein Před 5 měsíci

    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?

    • @gentletummy
      @gentletummy Před 5 měsíci

      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 :)

    • @maxhighstein
      @maxhighstein Před 5 měsíci

      @@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.
