What is Muslin?

Category: Denny Backdrops – admin – 3:05 pm
Muslin is a type of finely woven cotton fabric, it is is most typically a closely woven unbleached or white cloth, produced from corded cotton yarn.
Muslin breathes well, and is a good choice of material for clothing meant for hot, dry climates.
Muslin is the most common backdrop material used by photographers for formal portrait backgrounds. It is usually painted, most often with a random mottled pattern.
Muslin is often the cloth of choice for theater sets. It is helpful in masking the background of sets and helping to establish the mood or feel of different scenes. It can be painted to look like countless different settings and if treated properly it can become semi-translucent.
It also holds dyes very well and is often used to create night time scenes as by dyeing it, it often gets a waved look resembling a night time sky with the colors varying slightly. Muslin shrinks after it is painted. It is widely used because it makes for a great paint surface.		 Classic Muslin 4

Muslin can also be used as a cheap greenscreen, either precolored or painted with latex paint (diluted with water). Greenscreen is used mostly by professional videographers & photographers.
