Unlock your creativity with our Lost Size collection, starting with this 10x15 canvas. Created by Masterpiece® in the commonly used 3:2 Film proportion, these sizes are sure to inspire and challenge artists of all levels.
True 3:2 Film Proportion - 10x15 Size
The 3:2 aspect ratio is a very familiar format film, computer screens, and video, and, of course, is an aesthetically appealing proportion for your artistic compositions. Most 35 mm film cameras are based on this exact proportion, so our brains are trained to see images in this same ratio. It is commonly used for landscape photography and artwork, as it allows for a wide, panoramic view of the scene. It can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in the composition, providing depth and perspective, as the longer sides of the canvas allow for more space to depict the background or foreground elements of the scene.
Even though this proportion is widely used, there are only a handful of commonly available standard canvas sizes in this ratio. There are a whole collection of intriguing (what we call) Lost Sizes, which are uncommon sizes in this common proportion. Unusual canvas sizes add intrigue to your artwork and an additional story to tell about your painting.

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.

What is Sustainable Forestry?
To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource. We can all do our part to care for our national forests.

Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
♦ Michelangelo
Michelangelo, a luminary of the Renaissance era, often marveled at the potential hidden within raw material. His belief that each block of stone concealed a form waiting to be revealed is a powerful metaphor for the artistic process. Like the sculptor, we artists confront our chosen mediums, whether it be a blank canvas, a lump of clay, or an empty stage, with the challenge of unearthing its inherent beauty.
It's a reflection of our deeper conviction that beauty and meaning are everywhere, even in the most unsuspecting places. With skill, patience, and vision, we chip away at what's extraneous, aiming to reveal the essence of our subject. The process is as much about understanding ourselves as it is about mastering our craft. Each choice, each subtraction, brings clarity, not only to the work at hand but to our own perceptions of the world. This sentiment reminds us of the immense power and responsibility we hold, guiding us to see the potential in everything and craft narratives that might otherwise remain hidden.
We've curated this inspirational quote and our take on the message, plus a unique portrait we created of Michelangelo, celebrating the timeless ever-evolving act of creation. Go create your own masterpiece!
