  1. First create BaseMasterForm.cs and inherit Form. Write your code if you want added something in constructor.
  2. Second create Child Form.cs and inherit BaseMasterForm. You can override Show Background. If you want to show Background you need to set true.

BaseMasterForm .cs

public class BaseMasterForm : Form
{
    // You can override this Show Background. If you want or not to show background.
    public virtual bool ShowBackground { get { return true; } }

    public BaseMasterForm()
    {
        this.Load += (s, e) =>
        {
            // your image
            this.BackgroundImage = (ShowBackground) ? Properties.Resources.LeeQc : null;
            // you can custom
            this.BackgroundImageLayout = (ShowBackground) ? ImageLayout.Stretch : ImageLayout.None;
        };
    }
}

ChildForm.cs

public partial class ChildForm : BaseMasterForm
{
    // set true or false. to show MasterForm background.
    public override bool ShowBackground { get { return true; } }

    public ChildForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

I think it's not working because every page has it's own properties. You have to set the image in the MasterForm.

public partial class MasterForm: Form
{
    public MasterForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources.Image;
    }
}
