Sadly, I lost my pint of perfect gloss polyeuerethane, substituting an interior satin temporarily as it is on hand, and I want to protect the paint. It won't have the high gloss when dry however. This means a trip to the store in the next few days. Dammit. And another delay. But the protective coat will be thicker and stronger when done, thats ok.
So, I wanted a nice simple backdrop so future pics won't show the mess in the garage, and so light can be bounced back and kept on this studio side of the shop space. Cheap, simple, use whats on hand are my directives, so i cut a big slab of cardboard from a box going to the dump, taped up torn paper bag for a mask, and whipped out the trusty rattlecans. Brown for the foreground, metallic silver, aqua, purple, and pink, and lotsa white did for sky.
