7x7 Classic Value Cotton Canvas 3/4" Deep #CM-0707

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 7x7 Size

This 7x7 size an intriguing and atypical small size odd square.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Sustainably Managed Forests Inhale and Exhale

The world's forests are essential to human survival. Forests inhale carbon dioxide for the earth, and exhale oxygen essential for life. When we speak of the sustainable forest strategy of ensuring that more timber will exist in the same forest land than exists today, this is the only viable plan for the future of humanity. For this reason, we use only lumber from the sustainable forests of Oregon, Washington, and California, where there’s more standing timber today than last century!

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard, an influential writer, publisher, and philosopher of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was no stranger to the nuanced layers of human communication. With a keen understanding of human nature, Hubbard identified the depth of meaning that often lies beneath the surface, unspoken, and recognized that genuine understanding goes beyond mere words.

In the realm of art, this concept rings particularly true. Artists often communicate profound emotions and ideas through their work, sometimes seeking to convey feelings that words cannot adequately capture. When viewers truly connect with a piece, it's often the silent emotion, the unspoken message, that speaks the loudest. For artists, it serves as a reminder that, in our creations, silence can be as powerful and expressive as any brushstroke or note, and that true connection transcends the limitations of language.

Creativity is everything to us artists, so while you bring canvases to life, we've breathed digital life into a likeness we made of Elbert Hubbard, and provide a quote and context to inspire your art.

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.
