True 3:1 Panorama Proportion - 11x33 Size
This unique 11x33 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.

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.
11x33 Elite Super Heavy Frame Offers the Ultimate Canvas Support!
- Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
- Precision Machined keyable Super Strong Stretcher Bars (1.5" deep by 2-1/4" wide) allow you to increase the canvas tension
- 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 cross braces
- Unique Keyable Braces allow you to tension the canvas in the middle, where it's needed the most
- Both corner keys and brace keys are pre-installed
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 Elite™ 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 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.

The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live.
♦ Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin, renowned for his revolutionary sculptures, was not just an artist of stone and bronze, but also a philosopher of the human spirit. Rodin's works were born from a profound understanding of humanity's deepest emotions and experiences. Just as his sculptures are full of movement, life, and raw emotion, his philosophy urges us to embrace the ebb and flow of human existence. As artists, we often seek inspiration in the world around us, but it's the world within us that brings our creations to life.
It's a gentle reminder that while technique and skill are valuable, the heart and soul of artistry lie in the depth of emotion we invest. As artists, when we allow ourselves to truly feel—to love deeply, to hope fervently, to be moved by the world around us—we infuse our creations with a life force that resonates with others. In the canvas of life, it's these raw, unbridled emotions that paint the most vivid and enduring masterpieces. It's not just about creating; it's about living with fervor and passion in every brushstroke.
We've handpicked this quote and our interpretation of it's meaning to inspire your art. And we honor the legacy of Auguste Rodin by creating this one-of-a-kind portrait to tie it all together. Start Painting!
