True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 8x16 Size

8x16 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
 

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

Inspiration is everywhere, one just needs to open their eyes and heart to see it. ♦ Mary Cassatt

In the vast tapestry of Mary Cassatt's career, this sentiment was a guiding light. Born into an affluent family, Cassatt had the opportunity to travel extensively, exposing herself to a myriad of cultures, landscapes, and artistic styles. Yet, it wasn't just the grandeur of European museums or the allure of Parisian streets that inspired her. She found beauty and meaning in everyday moments, often choosing to depict the intimate interactions between mothers and children, ordinary scenes that many might overlook.

This perspective serves as a gentle reminder that inspiration doesn't always stem from the extraordinary or the exotic. Sometimes, it's the morning light filtering through the window, the fleeting smile of a stranger, or the familiar rhythm of a loved one's heartbeat. By truly seeing and immersing ourselves in the world around us, we can uncover countless stories waiting to be told, affirming that the canvas of life is rich with potential masterpieces.
