10x24 3D Pro Poitiers Canvas 2-1/2" #DQ-1024

True 12:5 Extended Domino Proportion - 10x24 Size

This 10x24 is a unique Masterpiece size and 12:5 Extended Domino aspect ratio.

This wide and expansive format is perfect for compositions with a strong horizontal flow. Its elongated shape encourages the eye to move across the canvas, making it ideal for landscapes, panoramic scenes, or compositions where you want to emphasize movement or space. It creates a sense of openness without overwhelming the viewer. It allows for more complex or extended narratives within a single frame while maintaining balance and proportion.

The vertical dimension is still significant enough to avoid feeling overly compressed, giving artists the opportunity to play with both horizontal and vertical elements in a broad yet contained space. It works especially well when you want to stretch a scene or subject providing room for exploration while still keeping the composition grounded. It invites expansive storytelling or sweeping visuals, all within a sleek, visually striking format.

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.

10x24 2.5" 3D Pro Deep Edge Heavy Duty Strainer Frame Offers Maximum Support!

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Super Strong Strainer Bars are 2.5" deep x 1-1/4" wide
• Fixed Corner Frame - Not keyable or expandable
• Super Strong Keyable Brace Included (3/4"" x 3.25")
• The Bars have a clever utility groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to attach the brace
• Patented Keyable Braces allow you to tension the canvas in the middle, where it's needed the most

Canvas Tension is in Your Control

In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.

Our 3D™ Pro 2.5 professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8" of an inch, so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.

• Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
• Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
• True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

Cross Braces Make it Tighter

A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.

When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

Sustainable Forests - A Precious Natural Resource

The air that we breathe depends upon our healthy forests the world over. For this reason, we only use lumber from the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, so we can guarantee that our nation's precious natural timber resources are available for future generations.

MuseumWrap™ Stretching Technique

With more than a half a century of American engineering, Masterpiece® designs and builds its own proprietary stretching equipment that enables us to produce the finest and most tightly-stretched canvas on the market.

• Drum-tight stretch!
• Up to 50% tighter than other methods
• Balanced tension across the surface
• Uncut folded corners make it possible to remove and re-stretch canvas on the same size frame
• Usually the corner folds are on the long sides

Since 1965, our passion for perfection has driven us at Masterpiece® to construct professional quality canvases that artists around the nation desire. All too often, other brands are more focused on saving cost and delivering less than adequate quality. However, we find that our customers not only desire fine quality, but they also tell us that their art is better for having painted on the exquisite canvases that we produce.

There is no such thing as exaggeration in art. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, a name synonymous with breaking conventions, was never one to shy away from bold statements or even bolder artistic choices. In the assertion that there's no exaggeration in art, he's emphasizing the boundless nature of artistic freedom. Every stroke of paint, every chiseled line, every note in a song is a manifestation of an artist's vision, and who is to set its limits?

In our careers, we're often advised to tread carefully, to follow rules, or to adhere to what's popular or accepted. Yet, true innovation comes when we push boundaries and let our imaginations roam freely. Gauguin's adventures, both literal and artistic, in places like Tahiti, were characterized by his desire to look beyond the familiar and capture the essence of raw, unadulterated beauty. For us, this serves as a poignant reminder that to be truly groundbreaking, we must sometimes push beyond what's expected and embrace the limitless expanse of our creative visions.
