Charcoal Grey Hand Painted Backdrop 122x180cm — Coal Night
Product ref: #03180726
A near-black charcoal for low-key work. Up close the surface is mottled, with faint warm brown flecks broken across the dark, so it never reads as a flat black sheet. Light it a little and that texture comes up; leave it in shadow and it falls away to almost black.
Use it for moody portraits, fine art, men's headshots, dance and anything where the subject should glow out of the dark. Light skin, white shirts and bright wardrobe colours stand out hard against it. At 122x180cm it suits a small studio or a head-and-shoulders setup.
This canvas is painted on one side only.

“I bought 3 backdrops from Slav and had the pleasure of unrolling them this morning. The quality of materials is evident and the way they have been treated and painted makes them look ideal for high end portraiture. Having never had proper painted backdrops before, and relying on pop-ups from Lastolite/Manfrotto in the past, I can’t wait to use them.”

“I’ve been buying from Handpainted Backdrops since 2020. The quality and service from off the shelf to custom made backdrops is always excellent. After 5 years the first drops I bought are still going strong and are used every week.”
