Would this fabric be suitable to paint a scene on this backdrop, using water base acrylic paints? Is it 100% cotton or canvas?

Its too light a material its a very thin cotton. Airbrushing potentially but not for what you need it for

No, too flimsy for paint. It is a good white backdrop but I can't endorse trying to paint it.

It is canvas, you would NOT want it outside at all. Should not get wet and I would think it would fade in direct sunlight like any other print

Soaks in really well into nylon fabric, cotton too. It works more like a fabric dye because it's water based. It will dry in your screen though if you're doing more than one shirt at a time so backfill. Dries really quickly.

I wouldn't recommend it. I would think sun and rain would damage the canvas and fade the colors. One thing for sure is that I love this picture, it looks so much better in person.

weelllll painting on fabric, is a friggin nightmare...but maybe you'll be a pro. I had nothing but problems. Now silk.....no idea I only used it on cotton. Remember you have to get that other stuff, Fabric Medium (yes that's what it's called, Martha S. also makes it) to mix with it...so it will adhere to the fabric and not wash off. I think if you have patience, you'll do great, I have has much patiences has a 5 year old on Christmas morning. SO good luck.

Definitely, it is a canvas like material. I used it to replace the material on an antique folding chair. I think the blue & grey colors are true to the picture but the yellow is mustardy, slightly green.

I bought it to make a mixed media lantern. I bought it because if the smooth surface and sturdiness . I also bought it because I wanted to write on it. I think it would be great for detail work. Not as absorbent as other types of watercolor paper.

I've only tried it with a 10'x20' muslin backdrop, which held up perfectly. If I had to guess, I wouldn't put any more than three times that weight, evenly distributed (that is, a 30' wide muslin for creating a draped background), but that might be pushing a bit far. Maybe 35lbs of fabric at most.

I've been buying these for 8 gardening seasons,I replace them every other year because I use well water to water 8 raised beds, to answer your direct question, I believe they are a polyester I think if they were canvas they wouldn't weep the same. You can't go wrong just try them and see for your self, PS they don't require a flow control

Hi there. Fabric backing is pure white, but not real thick. I always use a white backing fabric under anything anyway.i love this product because once your photo is on there you are ready to go...no ironing onto another piece of fabric. I am working on a photo transfer quilt now, and all of it is Inkjet Fabric. They do recommend Scotch Guarding it,however, when you are done with your project. Hope this helps. You do not need Bubble Jet Setter or anything else, just Scotch Guard when you are done.

You can use most any background its more about coverage like you can use a 6x8 for portraits (you could even use smaller like even a 4x4 fabric the hanger bar comes in 4 sections I believe you can go down to 2 sections.the main size you will want would likelt be a 10x10 as the bars can go 9.5 high.you could also do a 10x20 which would stream out for the ground cloth.you may also consider some clamps and tension clips (the sheet is 10 and the bar is like 11ft)I would not want to hang too heavy of a background on this system but does work.

It is not as thick as the regular painting canvas a person would purchase at a craft store, but I did use it to paint on. I used plain acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. I'm currently using it as a rug. I heard of others using regular wall paint and hanging them as curtains. If you want high quality, this probably is not your best option. However, for the price, I would try it. Worse case scenario would be to use it as a drop cloth or start a different project:)

I have used it on silk, cotton, canvas, rayon, polyester, and nylon. (It even works on lycra or spandex but the stretch distorts and cracks the design.) There were no problems with the painting. Be sure to place a paper towel or something behind the fabric to catch the bleed-through. The only issue is when you use the iron to heat set the color. You will need to be careful about the heat for rayon and nylon (or lycra/spandex). While you want to use the highest setting, you do not want to melt the fabric. I set my iron 2 notches below the highest iron setting. You will want to test a corner to ensure the iron doesn't melt the fabric. But don't skip the step entirely. For hard-to-iron items, I took my hair dryer and, setting it at its highest heat, I held the blower at approximately 1/2 inch away from surface, close to it, and ran the dryer for about 1 minute over each 3 square inches of painted surface. I wouldn't rely on this to go through a washing machine but it will hold up through careful hand-washing.

I wouldn't purchase this for a vinyl backdrop. It sags in the middle. The other thing is, if you have vinyl backdrops that are various sizes, it doesn't go up and down, so you are stuck. I use this for blanket backdrops during newborn sessions and it works perfect for that.

I would say no. I am not good with colors, but I would call it a semi-transparent off white. It doesn't look bad on my canvas, but it doesn't quite match the original thread. Hope this helps.

Well, acrylic paint is like a rubber type of paint. Now there are many shower curtains that you don't want to get wet and they are in use. I suppose you could paint on it, but you would not want to have a pattern down were it usually gets wet a lot. You certainly can use it on a curtain that you place outside and it is for decoration and then have the thin clear inside panel. Seems like a lot of work in doing your art for this use which might not last. Also, inside of each tube there is not a lot of paint. This set is good for doing small pictures, but won't go very far. I don't think this is the set for you. The acrylic paint that is very rubbery is a bit expensive for what you probably need. Hope this lets you think a little, but I am guessing more if I was to want to do what you asked.
