Welcome to our world of Lost Sizes - featuring unique and uncommon canvases like this 7x7 size. Invented by Masterpiece® in the well-known 1:1 Square proportion, these sizes are perfect for artists looking to add a touch more originality to their work.
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.

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.

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.

Don't paint bit by bit, but paint everything at once by placing tones everywhere.
♦ Paul Gauguin
The words of Paul Gauguin, a figure who fundamentally altered the trajectory of modern art, echo a philosophy that championed instinct over deliberation. Gauguin's career, characterized by his audacious color choices and radical shifts in style, was a testament to the value of embracing the full scope of a vision from the outset.
Gauguin's guidance encourages us to approach our canvas not just as a mere surface awaiting detail, but as a dynamic space alive with emotion and movement. It's an invitation to immerse ourselves completely, to let our intuition guide our hands, and to feel the interplay of colors, forms, and emotions in real-time. When we paint in this holistic manner, we tap into a flow that allows our art to emerge as a unified, cohesive entity. The result is work that is not just a collection of details, but a living, breathing manifestation of our deepest artistic impulses.
We are innately drawn to the act of creation. We've channeled this drive to curate this inspiring quote and contex along with our own portrait we created of Paul Gauguin..our tribute to the timeless dance of creativity. Go paint!
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.
