How We Create a Hand-Painted Backdrop

Our process blends craftsmanship with artistry, ensuring every painting backdrop is unique.

  1. Canvas Selection – We start with our exclusive duck canvas blend, designed to resist wrinkles and creasing.
  2. Base Preparation – Depending on the desired finish, we prime or leave the canvas raw for a natural texture.
  3. Layering Colors – Multiple layers of acrylic paint are applied to create richness, depth, and variation.
  4. Finishing Touches – Highlights, shadows, and fine detailing bring each backdrop painting to life.
  5. Careful Packaging – Rolled on a sturdy tube, placed inside a protective hard plastic tube, and shipped worldwide.
