free studio background

Here is a studio background that you can freely use. I painted it myself and although I had to make it a super compressed jpg it still looks fine.

Thanks, Gooch

It looks great. If you (or anyone) would like to make a higher-rez version of a background available, check out our Archives for submission details.

Thanks for your generous contribution Phil. Those types of backgrounds are great to use but I can never seem to get that soft cloudy look to mine.

It is very nice
I sure will use this. I have some pictures I just took of my family with a busy background and this will be perfect. Will be great practice for me to select/ paste (I sure need practice on this one!)....Thanks for sharing this!

There have been alot of requests from members to create those types of backgrounds. Maybe you could do a tutorial on creating them.

I have sent a larger version to the archive along with an outdoor fall setting that I use both outdoors or as a digital drop in.
Both images are out of camera at 22"x33" and can be re-res'd and size to your needs.

As far as how to make the studio background.. I make all my backgrounds with a air-compressor sprayer with a piece of muslin laid out on my grass. The key is to spray first the bas then starting in the middle start spraying differnt spots.. keep the sprayer about 2 feet from the background. Use about 4-6 different colors and just let them blend together. The studio background was done with the following steps.

Sprayed the blue/grey back base..
sprayed lipstik pink in spots, white, lime and powder blue.
Then I went over the edges with the background paints again.

I thought you created it in Photoshop. Guess I will have to turn on my compressor if I want to get that cloudy results you got.
Thanks for adding the hi-res and the other background. They sure are useful in this type work.

John,

Gotta give Doug time to get 'em up there. He's a busy man (at least that's what he says ).

One thing the airbrush and PS have showed me is that prior to painting a studio background... I usually redo 6 per year..
I can get a feel for it in PS. I have also noticed that with a little practice I should be able to duplicate my studio background effect in PS. I'm still learning for I only have had PS for 3 months.. I use to use corel prior to that.
