True 3:1 Panorama Proportion - 10X30 Size
This unique 10x30 is actually a fairly common 3:1 proportion used in art and cinema.
The 3:1 Panorama a proportion is preferred by many artists who require a super wide compositional format. Of course, this proportion is popularized by photographers and cinematographers, for ultra landscape and wide angled imagery that creates a sense of scope and grandeur in a scene, like cityscapes, ocean and mountain scenes, and scenes with expansive horizons. It is described as a polyomino proportion on the order of 3 or triple-square proportion. There are several common Panorama sizes in this 3:1 aspect ratio that you will recognize, and some are intriguing custom sizes, as well.

Raw #10 Cotton 14.5 oz Unprimed
Very heavy weight unprimed cotton 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.
- 100% Cotton 14.5 oz. per square yard
- Very Heavy Weight, Dense Weave, Robust 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.
10X30 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.
Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests
Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

- 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

A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
♦ Vincent Van Gogh
Oh, Vincent Van Gogh, the post-impressionist maestro with a penchant for bright, emotive colors and turbulent life stories, knew all too well the weight and worth of a painting. Unlike the passive, fleeting nature of a photograph, a painting, especially in Van Gogh's hands, was an outpouring of the soul. With every brushstroke, artists, like Vincent, lay bare their emotions, beliefs, and perspectives. The act of creating is more than mere visual representation; it's a dance of the spirit. We know that every time our brush graces the canvas, we are pouring out our essence, hoping that our creations connect with the viewers, heal, and inspire others in the same way that acts of kindness do.
But let's not mince words; Van Gogh wasn't exactly a walk in the park..or should I say, a stroll through a starry night? His life was filled with highs and lows, much like the thick, textured strokes on his canvases. There were days when the weight of the world seemed too heavy, yet his paintings, his good deeds, became his salvation and our treasured inheritance. Each work we produce has the power to touch souls, evoke emotions, and perhaps, even change a life. So, next time you're battling with a piece or second-guessing your creation, think of Vincent and smile, because in that moment of creation, you've just performed a splendid deed.
Celebrating the creativity in all of us, we've taken a step provide these words of wisdom and to immortalize Vincent Van Gogh through our own unique portrait. Pick up your brush and create!
