I LOOOOVE your Oliphant inspired canvas backdrop!! I have seen a lot of tutorials on these but I have never seen colours I love that much! Can I ask how you made it - which colours and what colours first (the bright towards the middle, or the dark towards the edges)? Thanks a lot in advance! Kind regards, Susanne

Hey! Sorry for the late reply, I don’t check tumblr too often anymore. THB, I kind of just winged the whole thing. The colors were all mixed from a basic kit of primary colored acrylics. From there I just added colors/tones to taste until it started looking like how I wanted it. One note - I wish I had used matte paints. This has a bit of a glossy finish and if you’re not careful with how you light it, it picks up pretty bad specular highlights.
