Soul — Olive Grey, Charcoal & Amber Hand Painted Backdrop 270x270cm

A dark hand painted backdrop in three moods on one canvas. The middle is a muted olive grey, the lightest part, and it is where your subject goes. To the left the canvas turns to charcoal with cold slate-grey streaks and a thin line of rust along the edge. To the right it warms up through amber and ochre before falling into deep olive brown at the far side.

The texture is strong. Long vertical passes run top to bottom, so the canvas reads like an old painted wall rather than a flat colour. At 270x270cm there is room for full-length portraits, couples and small groups, and you can light it two ways: keep the subject in the grey middle for a quiet, moody frame, or move them towards the amber side for warmth.

It suits fine art portraits, editorial fashion, maternity and anything that wants depth and a bit of drama behind it. Olive and amber work well with cream, rust, black and denim wardrobes.

This one is a single piece. It is not planned to be painted again, so the pattern you see here exists only once.
