3 Ways to “Spruce Up” a White Background Lesson
If you ever want to “upgrade” any of the paintings you create with us here on Canvas Academy (or on your own!), you can use any of the three “background-making” methods outlined in the lesson below.
In this short Basics Course lesson, you’ll learn 3 ways to fill in a white background—either before or after you’ve finished any painting. Reference this video lesson as many times as you’d like, and either watch before or while you fill in your own backgrounds!
