Painting Model Railroad Backdrops

In this episode, I create a photo backdrop using the techniques I use to paint my layout backdrops. My techniques are adapted from those of Chris Lyon. You can watch his videos that I learned from here:    • PART 1: PAINTING BACKDROPS FOR LARGE LAYOUTS   There are a series of these videos.
