Elite™ Professional 1.5" Deep B2 Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

A Canvas Clearance of 1/2" is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

21x90 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x84 Frame

Please note that you will need a canvas that is at least 6 Inches larger than the actual frame size to ensure proper stretching. This will provide ample material to stretch the canvas and attach it to the back of the frame. If you prefer to attach the canvas from the edge of the stretcher frame, you can reduce the size of your canvas by approximately 3/4" all the way around the frame. This will allow you to paint on the edge of the canvas and hang your artwork without needing a separate picture frame. And, if you ever need to remove the canvas from the frame and re-attach it, you'll have enough material to do that too.

If the artist has outer and inner eyes for nature, nature rewards him by giving him inspiration. ♦ Wassily Kandinsky

One of the pioneers of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky embraced the spiritual and emotional dimensions of art with fervor. For him, the relationship between the artist and nature wasn't merely observational; it was deeply symbiotic. Nature, in all its boundless forms, was not just a muse but a partner in the dance of creation. Kandinsky believed that an artist's true vision extended beyond the physical realm, venturing into the intangible landscapes of emotion and intuition.

When artists immerse themselves in nature, they don't just see trees, rivers, or mountains. They feel the whisper of the wind, the stories engraved in ancient bark, and the secrets hidden in the depths of still waters. By tuning into these subtleties, we tap into a wellspring of inspiration that transcends mere representation. It's an invitation to a deeper dialogue, where nature shares its wisdom and mysteries. For those willing to listen with both their outer and inner senses, nature unveils a world rich with stories, lessons, and unparalleled beauty, urging us to capture its essence in our creations.
