10x14 3D Pro Pau Canvas 2-1/2" #DP-1014

True 7:5 Photography Proportion - 10x14 Size

For an uncommon size, artists do tend to appreciate and use this intriguing 10x14 size. It's also considered to be a Dynamic Root-2 Rectangle size.

Another widely used proportion in photography is the 7:5 aspect ratio, but is relatively uncommon in art, save for the 5x7 size. It is commonly accepted as a pleasing proportion. Some artists choose this proportion to add visual interest by breaking away from more traditional shaped canvas sizes. There are only a handful of standard canvas sizes in this ratio, but there are a whole collection of (what we call) Lost Sizes in this aspect ratio, which are often unknown sizes that add intrigue to the final composition.

Explore other sizes in this same 7:5 aspect ratio:

15x21 • 20x28 • 25x35 • 30x42 • 35x49 • 40x56 • 45x63 • 50x70 • 55x77 • 60x84

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

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.

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 thereÕs more standing timber today than last century!

Don't paint too much direct from nature. Art is an abstraction! study nature then brood on it and treasure the creation which will result, which is the only way to ascend towards God - to create like our Divine Master. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's perspective on art offers a profound understanding of the relationship between nature, abstraction, and creation. Throughout his life, Gauguin sought more than mere representation in his work; he sought the essence of life and the unseen truths that lay beneath the surface. His move away from the conventional styles of his time and his exploration of more abstract and symbolic forms were testament to this belief.

The allure of nature is undeniable. Its beauty, its rawness, and its ever-changing moods have inspired countless masterpieces. But Gauguin challenges us to go beyond mere imitation. He encourages us to immerse ourselves in the essence of what we observe, to reflect upon it, and then to channel our insights and emotions into our creations. It's not about replicating what we see, but about capturing its soul, its essence. In this process, we aren't just artists, but co-creators, sculpting reality through our unique lenses.

While Gauguin's spiritual references invoke a divine act of creation, the underlying message is universal: that true artistry comes from deep introspection and an authentic representation of one's innermost visions. By elevating our creations to be more than mere representations, we not only honor our skills but also contribute to the grand tapestry of artistic expression that has, for ages, served as a bridge between the tangible and the ethereal.

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.
