As the proverb goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I purchased a gold backdrop<\/a> many years ago and it is one of my favorites to use to help create painterly-style portraits. Its limitation is that it is small. I set out to paint a larger backdrop using the gold backdrop as a color reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I brought the gold backdrop outdoors into the sun and I laid paint color samples from Home Depot directly on the backdrop to help with the selection process. I chose three colors: a light, mid-tone and dark to blend together on the canvas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I did a good job selecting the colors but in the final analysis I didn’t quite nail it. The backdrop turned out to be a much more vibrant gold than I had anticipated. I decided two gold backdrops are better than one. The older, smaller backdrop is more subdued and the newer, larger one is more vibrant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small gold backdrop that I love so much is hanging in front of the unpainted canvas lying on the floor. It was there to act as a visual reference as I painted the new larger canvas. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My husband captured this photo of me painting the backdrop in our family room. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
