DIY Handpainted Canvas Photo Background

For less than $100 I painted this canvas backdrop for photos.

About 5 years ago I attempted to paint a backdrop and hated how it turned out. The colours where blotchy and the backdrop itself was stiff and hard to move. Turns out the biggest mistake I did the first time around was not diluting the paint with water.

This time I used multiple watered down layers over the course of three days to achieve a softer look to the painting but it also kept the canvas itself from getting incredibly stiff and awkward.
