Custom hand painted Canvas for under $100. In this video, I painted my own canvas for my photography studio much like Unique backdrops, Gravity backdrops or Oliphant backdrops that cost up too 8X more to create a Vanity Fair magazine styled shoot.

@Turkeysubs 3 года назад

I definitely want to try this but smaller for flat-lays! I think adding baking soda or sand to some of the paint would add an amazing 3D texture

@EddieMerino Год назад

Yea, I would add a step now. I would prime the canvas before painting because the paint got sucked up quickly and I had to layer twice on the base paint

Hello best video ever ! I want to try it now! What type of canvas is this the 7oz or the # 12

@mikemorris5503 4 года назад

I've been wanting to make my own for a while now, but went out and bought a drop cloth from Home Depot and figure I'd see what it'd turn out like if I were to let it soak in a bucket of paint and water mix. Heavier on the paint than water. Ring it out let it dry and iron out the wrinkles and add splotches/texture after. I'm hoping that letting it soak would be a faster way to apply the overall background color. It's in the washer now to knock out the creases and loose fabric. I'll let you know how it turns out!

@EddieMerino 4 года назад

Interesting, you should make a video if it turns out how you like it and please send me the link. I would love to support

@QOJOQAY 4 года назад

Hi Mike...that's a super cool idea. Thought along that line too. It's a great idea if you plan to use one material for one colour. Apparently i would want to make a 2 sided canvas backdrop so i can have two different looks on one material. Please do keep us updated on how yours goes. Thanks

@liquideyewaterhousingsjapa1511 4 года назад

Best DIY one I've seen so far. Is it possible to paint a different color on the other side to get more use out of 1 canvas?

@EddieMerino 4 года назад

Thank you, really appreciate it. I would say yes. I didnt try it since I didnt use a primer, the paint leaks through the other side a bit but im sure it's possible.

@mariobryan5466 10 месяцев назад

Great video. I know results will vary but could you list the paint colors you used?

@EddieMerino 10 месяцев назад

Sure, the company is called Bear Paint and the base color was Midnight Blue, Naval blue and I can't remember the lightest one but they have Swatches at the store and you can even mix your own custom colors. Good luck, let me know how it turns out

I had a lot of creases, same type of canvas... any ideas why? And what to do about them? I don't think you had any. Thanks for the video, the best on the subject 😀

@EddieMerino 2 года назад

Did it come folded? Mine came in a role so I didn't have to deal with that. You can always steam it. Before you paint it of course.

@arailymzhumadilova814 Год назад

Thanks for the video! One question : if I see that I want to remove something which I already applied, can I use a sponge and water and fix it?

@EddieMerino Год назад

That would blend it in with the surrounding colors. I would wait for it to dry and paint over it a bit.

@TroubadourAtHeart 4 года назад

Did you let the base midnight blue coat dry before you started dabbing lighter colors?

@EddieMerino 3 года назад

Not really, it absordes very fast.

@zackball8654 4 года назад

Looks great! How’s your backdrop holding up today? Did you use any Primer?

@EddieMerino 4 года назад

The back drops have been holding up great I did not use primer but looking back I should have and because some spots are a little see through but do not show up in pictures

@timothykimari8154 4 года назад

is the paint waterbased or oil?

@0511khalid 3 года назад

It’s just paint for walls. Oil would take too much time to dry. So water based I guess.

@@alessandromontanari7817 They are still in perfect condition. The 3 inch PVC pipe doesn't only keep them from wrinkling or tearing, its also used for the backdrop stand holder and 2 clamps on one side. The paint I used works fine and I recently used it for a shoot, you can check out my Instagram for a video on a recent shoot. IG @EMMultimediacorp

@liahglask 3 года назад

Awesome video. Can u please tell whats the size of the backdrop u showed in this video, the dimension of the finished product?

@EddieMerino 3 года назад

The size was a 9ft backdrop and I cut 6 ft and hung it the long way. You can also roll the 9ft as long as you want. That's why getting 10 yards in length is so important. You can costume any size

@leo883 4 года назад

Hey Eddie, great video. Have you noticed any cracking or flaking of the paint since you’ve been rolling it?

@EddieMerino 4 года назад

None at all

@amaliakomperda3798 4 года назад

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. What kind of finish did the paint have? Matte or satin, eggshell maybe? Do you find if you run your hand across the canvas it that the paint gets a grey cast or is the paint locked in place? Is the canvas very stiff or easy to work with? Did you add sealer on top of the paint? Have you find the canvas gets dirty quickly? Have you tried spot cleaning it?

@EddieMerino 4 года назад

I used Matte, it doesn't become grey when touched and the canvas is very flexible but still tough. I've had it for over a year now and have used it about 15 times and store it in my closet so never gets dirty. I haven't cleaned it but will let you know if I ever do.

If you make sure the paint is not Glossy, you should be fine with anything. What I would've done different is use Primer first so the paint sticks easier and I don't have to use so much paint. But all in all, its still standing strong.

@EddieMerino 4 года назад

I have to double check but I bought a long one because I wanted to test different technics of painting. Its 30 yards in length and I think 9ft in wide. So I use the 9 ft as the height and cut width to my looking

Im actually not sure of the quality difference but Big Duck Canvas is meant to be painted on and last a long time. I would much rather spend 2 hours on a quality canvas than one that may wrinkle and tear in a few months

Eddie Merino Thanks for the reply.. you’re right. I’ve decided to go with big duck.
