Welcome to our world of Lost Sizes - featuring unique and uncommon canvases like this 12x15 size. Invented by Masterpiece® in the well-known 5:4 Photography proportion, these sizes are perfect for artists looking to add a touch more originality to their work.

 

True 5:4 Photography Proportion - 12x15 Size

When you actually view this canvas in your hands, it looks just like the little brother to a 16x20, kind of cool!

The 5:4 aspect ratio is common to both art and portrait photography, as it creates a visually pleasing format for the human figure and face. The balanced compositional format can help to create a sense of symmetry and harmony in your artwork. The 5:4 ratio has a familiar "feel", as it was commonly used in early computer monitors. Additionally, you might consider trying some relatively unknown sizes in this same proportion that we call Lost Sizes As an artist, you get the best of both worlds, because you still get to use the same aesthetically appealing 5:4 format and use rare or novel sizes that help make your art stand-out.

Raw #12 Cotton 11.5 oz Unprimed

Rugged heavy weight unprimed canvas. Take control of your art, prepare your own ground, or use bare canvas expanses as part of the art. Great for staining or pouring, resulting in a fluid and spontaneous convergence of the image and fabric.

  • Heavy Weight, Dense Weave, Texture
 

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.

 

12x15 2.5" Deep Edge Heavy Frame Offers Maximum Support!

  • Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
  • 2.5" Deep Edge K2 Heavy Stretcher Bars are precision machined with a unique double tongue-and-groove corner joint that provides rock-solid torsional rigidity that resists warping or twisting, which is an important benefit for such a deep edge canvas
  • No Brace Required for this size
  • To increase canvas tension, remove any staples in the corners and tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, then tension and re-staple the canvas in the corners
 

Our Ecosystem Depends on Healthy Forests

Forests play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, filter air and water, and provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals. By using sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect these important ecosystems and ensure that they continue to provide these valuable services for generations to come.

 

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.

 

It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven. ♦ Auguste Rodin

Auguste Rodin, the genius behind 'The Thinker' and a myriad of sculptures that encapsulated the very essence of humanity, held a perspective of art that was both humbling and enlightening. In essence, he paints a picture not just of the artist's place in the universe, but of the profound connection between creation and divinity. He gently reminds us that while artists may wield the brush or chisel, the true force of inspiration comes from something far greater, a force beyond our comprehension, pushing us to create, explore, and express. It's as though we are instruments in the hands of the cosmos, channeling its wonders onto our canvases, sculptures, and compositions.

But, beyond the grandeur and mysticism, lies an endearing image: that of the artist as an eager apprentice. An apprentice learning, growing, and evolving under the vast expanse of God's heaven. Each piece we create, every note we compose, all the colors we blend, are testament to our path towards discovery and reverence. And as we tread this path, with our hearts open to the universe's whispers and our hands crafting its stories, let's embrace our roles as humble apprentices. For in acknowledging the grand tapestry of existence and our tiny, yet significant place within it, we not only elevate our art but also our understanding of the divine dance between creation and creator.


Creativity is the heart of what we both do. So we've curated this empowering quote and some background. And, in our own act of creation, we provide this unique portrayal we made of Auguste Rodin.
