8x10 Elite Grenoble A/P Heavy Linen 1-1/2" Deep #EG-0810

True 5:4 Photography Proportion - 8x10 Size

And 8x10, of course, is one of the most popular sizes ever in both photography and art!

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.

12x15 • 16x20 • 20x25 • 24x30 • 28x35 • 32x40 • 36x45 • 40x50 • 44x55 • 48x60 • 52x65 • 56x70 • 60x75 • 64x80 • 68x85 • 72x90 • 76x95

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

Elite™ Professional 1.5" Deep B2 Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

A Canvas Clearance of 1/2" 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.

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.

8x10 Elite Super Heavy Duty Strainer Frame

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Super Heavy Duty Strainer Bars provide unparalleled support for this small 8x10 for frames when the short side is under 11" inches
• Fixed Corner Frame - Not keyable or expandable
• No cross braces required when the frame length is under 12", but this frame provides very robust and solid support for this 8x10 size frame

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 we stretch a canvas 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.

Biodiversity in our Forests is the Key to Life as we know it

By using lumber from sustainably managed forests in our products, we can ensure that the forests will continue to thrive and provide valuable resources for years to come. Sustainable forestry practices help to maintain the health and biodiversity of the forest, which benefits not only the environment, but also the local communities and businesses that rely on the forest for their livelihoods.

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.

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a polymath of the Renaissance era, was not only a painter but also an inventor, scientist, and philosopher. His insatiable curiosity drove him to constantly challenge prevailing notions and seek knowledge from various sources. For Leonardo, questioning was a way of life, which is evident from his extensive notebooks filled with observations, sketches, and musings. This quote reflects his understanding that opinions, if not questioned and revisited, can cloud our vision and limit our growth.

Similarly, in the realm of art, preconceived notions or opinions can hinder our creative process. As artists, we must be open to revisiting our beliefs and ideas, allowing fresh perspectives to breathe life into our work. By doing so, we free ourselves from the constraints of our own biases, welcoming innovation and unique expressions into our art.
