Raw Torrey Pines™ Belgian Linen 9.6 oz Unprimed

Heavy-weight dense-weave raw unprimed Belgian Linen. Take control of your art by preparing your own ground on Belgian Linen canvas. Use bare expanses of canvas as part of the painting or simply create the ground exactly ask you like.

  • 100% Belgian Linen 9.6 oz. per square yard
  • Heavy Weight, Tight Weave, Medium Texture
  • Raw fabric blocks 94% of the light, which indicates how tight is the weave
  • Warp and Weft: 40x36 yarns per square inch
  • Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.
 

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
 

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

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 make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

 

15x20 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.

  • 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
 

Celebrating a rich legacy since 1965, Masterpiece® is the gold standard for artist canvases in North America. Every canvas is a potential magnum opus, a union of creativity and quality materials that can transcend time. Your choices today impact your art's tomorrow, so invest in the best for a lasting legacy.

 

There are mysterious forces in existence: with my hands I touch the light. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, known for his groundbreaking art and an insatiable thirst for deeper meaning, often found himself at the intersection of the seen and the unseen. His words here reflect not just an artist's relationship with his medium but a profound connection to the intangible forces that guide and shape our universe. The light, both a literal and metaphorical entity, represents the ethereal, the divine, and the unknowable.

The process of creation often feels like a communion with something greater. The act of bringing a vision to life, of manifesting an idea into tangible form, is akin to touching that elusive light. We channel energies, emotions, and inspirations, converting them into visuals, sounds, or words, bridging the gap between the earthly and the ethereal. Gauguin's acknowledgment of this transcendent experience is a beacon for us, assuring us that in our moments of creation, we are not merely crafting but connecting with the universe's deeper truths.

The idea of touching the light serves as an affirmation. In our moments of doubt or creative blocks, remembering that we possess the capacity to connect with these mysterious forces can reignite our passion and purpose. Every brush stroke, every note played, and every word written becomes a testament to this connection, reminding us and our audience of the magic that exists, waiting to be discovered and shared.


We curated this empowering quote with some context and hope you find it insightful, plus we created this unique portrait of Paul Gauguin to make it a bit more intriguing. Now get to work on your own!
