This is one of our most wide-open Photo-Art Challenges, but perhaps also one of our most useful.

Use any or all of your photo-art techniques to make an obviously hand-painted backdrop suitable for studio portraiture.

You can work from a blank canvas, or work from a photo. Just remember that the backdrop serves to quietly enhance a portrait, not distract or call attention to itself. I recommend studying some existing studio portraits before you begin. Try the Google image search for ideas.

Hopefully we'll get a variety, including some useful for antique photos as well as contemporary.

And don't forget the most important part: tell us how you did it.

Challenge: Make a "Handpainted" Studio Backdrop

Post the results here using the following guidelines:
  • Make sure you're using the largest version of the Challenge photo
  • Enter your name in "Enter a title for the photo"
  • Enter the Challenge type and number in "Descriptive Keywords" (ie: "Photo-Art Challenge #501" or "Manipulation Challenge #132"
  • Include a complete description of the steps you used under "Photo Description". (You might want to write it elsewhere and paste it here)
  • Attach your file as an 800 pixel wide JPG file, compressed so that the overall file is under 200k (this usually means 60% compression).
  • Make sure you post to the correct Challenge
  • If you expect any comments for your entry, offer your comments to other entries

As always, there are no winners, no losers, no prizes, only a sharing and learning opportunity for everyone.

How you retouch and how much you retouch is up to you, as long as you fulfill the Challenge. Have fun, and good luck!

NOTE: As is the case for ALL RetouchPRO Challenges, there is NO expiration date on this Challenge. Even after other Challenges go up, feel free to upload your version
