Backdrops

[msvirick]

After a investment in 10D, I seem mostly consentration on protraits. My walls are cluttered with pictures and the color is not the best. That make poor backgrounds.
Can someone help me with backdrops?
Do you have to go to the bank to buy somes, or home made job will do?.

I just went to Wallmart's fabric dept. and bought mine.

I've been making mine with sheets- I use acrylic paints, a sponge brush & water for blending & get some interesting back drops. I have white one, with cream, light pink, a heathery purple & blue design. Next I made one with a tan sheet, using cream, a darker brown & light olive. For holidays, I'm going to take a white sheet & sponge paint some gold stars with thinned out piant- make it a little more washy~ You can drape sheer panel curtains over those to soften the effect a bit. Or use a sheer of a different color to give a different caste.

Well well, Yesterday at the University, guess what was thrown at the garbage. A pull down screen, blue on one side and gray on the other.
It is on hooks that you can mount it and pull it down when you need it.
Glad as I was to get it, there has to to some law to prevent such a waste of public money.
