6x12 3D Pro Versailles Canvas 2-1/2" #DL-0612

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 6x12 Size

6x12 is one of our popular Domino 2:1 sizes.

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

3D™ Pro 2.5 Stretcher Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

1/2" Canvas Clearance 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.

• Produces a 2.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1.25" wide Stretcher Bar
• All Bars have an exclusive groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to which cross braces and Diamond Corner Braces attach
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

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.

The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

In an era marked by rapid industrialization and the rise of innovative thinking, Elbert Hubbard was keenly observant of the swift pace of change. Artists, like inventors, were pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and transforming the way society viewed art. Hubbard himself was at the forefront of the Arts and Crafts Movement with his Roycroft community, promoting handcrafted quality against the tide of mass production. To him, naysayers were often left in the dust by proactive visionaries, including artists who dared to envision and actualize the 'impossible' in their work.

Hubbard's own journey, diverging from traditional paths and establishing an artisan community, was a testament to this sentiment. He exemplified the essence of not waiting for validation but forging ahead, much like the avant-garde artists of his time who constantly redefined artistic norms.
