Classic™ means a 3/4" deep canvas that is stretched using our MasterWrap™ back-stapled method with folded corners. Our proprietary stretching process uses pneumatically controlled machines that we built to yield drum-tight tension.

Ordering in Even Quantities is Optimal
We take great pride in delivering high-quality products that arrive safely. We have engineered custom-made heavy-duty, triple-strength corrugated boxes for our canvases, which are unmatched in the industry. It's always best to order in even quantities of the same size (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.) which allows us to position the delicate parts of the canvas face-to-face and away from the exterior of the box. However, if you order only one, our custom made boxes provide excellent protection during transit to help ensure that your canvas arrives in pristine condition.

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.
Our Ecosystem Depends on Healthy Forests
Forests play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, filter air and water, and provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals. By using sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect these important ecosystems and ensure that they continue to provide these valuable services for generations to come.
Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber
Our wood is handpicked from a curated group of environmentally responsible lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. By adhering to our precise drying and heat-treatment standards, these mills produce lumber with nearly half the moisture you'd find in common home improvement outlets or lumber yards. This meticulous process not only enhances the wood's strength—minimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bends—but also elevates its dimensional stability. Such quality, despite its premium, is paramount in creating professional canvases designed to uphold the sanctity of your cherished art throughout the years.

♦ Eugé ne Delacroix
Eugé ne Delacroix, a towering figure in the Romantic art movement, often distinguished himself with his intense focus on motion and emotion. A pivotal figure in 19th-century French art, Delacroix's vibrant and dramatic compositions captured the tumultuous spirit of his times. His works, imbued with a sense of urgency and fervor, were a testament to his belief in the spontaneity and immediacy of artistic expression.
This provocative statement by Delacroix isn't merely about the speed of execution, but it underscores the importance of instinct, perception, and the raw connection between the artist and the moment. For us, it serves as a reminder of the vital role that instinct plays in our art. The ability to capture a fleeting emotion, a transient light, or a passing shadow speaks volumes about an artist's connection to their surroundings. Such instinctual prowess is what differentiates a good artist from a great one. It challenges us to sharpen our observational skills, to be ever-present, and to trust in our capabilities, recognizing that in the whirlwind of life's moments, it's our unique perspective and rapid response that will set our creations apart.
Every artist thrives on inspiration. So we've offer this insightful quote with a uniquely crafted portrait of Eugé ne Delacroix. May this story invigorate your creativity! Start painting!
Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner
While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.
With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
