True 15:11 Custom Proportion - 33x45 Size

This 33x45 is common, but the 15:11 aspect ratio is unusual.

It is quite common that an artist would choose a size or proportion that is uncommon to help create a sense of uniqueness and originality. By using a non-traditional proportion, you can differentiate your work from other artists and essentially create a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind. Non-standard sizes tend to challenge the creative process by pushing the boundaries of what is generally considered "normal" in the world of art. By working with a non-traditional proportion, such as this 15:11 Custom, you might discover new compositional possibilities by creating a unique visual impact or expression in a way not possible by using the same standard sizes everyone else uses.

__

Sometimes you may need a non-standard size or proportion to match your artwork to a specific space or location where it will hang to optimize the display. Using a non-traditional canvas size might also be more practical in nature, such as when you are working on a specific commission that requires a certain size or shape. The non-traditional size may align better with your working style or the nature of your subject matter.

Isola™ Heavy Weight Oil Primed Artfix Linen

Our heaviest weight oil primed linen canvas. Great for large and small works with a very heavy body, yet has a refreshing medium surface tooth.
  • 100% Belgian Linen 8.6 oz; Primed Weight 14.1 oz per square yard
  • Heavy Weight, Dense Weave, Medium Texture
  • Double Sized and Double Primed with acid-free archival quality oil primed ground
  • Impenetrable ground prevents oil paint from leaching through and harming the canvas
  • For oils, alkyds, and water miscible oil paints
  • Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Primer Pigment

Our primer is made with the highest-quality Titanium Dioxide white pigment, which is an excellent pigment for acrylic primed grounds, providing superior whiteness and maintaining excellent flexibility over time. Unlike some other common pigments, such as zinc dioxide, TiO2 doesn't become brittle as it ages, helping to ensure that your painting will stand the test of time.

Oil paint on an oil primed canvas improves your results

Using an oil prepared canvas for oil painting can produce superior results because the paint and ground are organically similar and create an ideal "chemical bond" where the paint sinks into the ground resulting in a smoother and more even finish. The resulting bond between the paint and canvas is stronger, making the artwork more durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the melding of the two oil-based materials creates an effect called luminosity, where the colors appear to glow from within, and thereby enhances the vibrancy and brightness of the colors, impacting the way light reflects off the colors.

Flash an Oil Prepared Canvas with Mineral Spirits

While it is not required, for best results, lightly wipe or flash the oil prepared canvas with mineral spirits before painting to make sure that your surface is completely clean of any dust or contaminants before painting.

 

33x45 Frame Kit B2 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 (3/4" x 3.25") and a regular Cross Brace Included
  • The Bars have a clever utility groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to attach the cross braces
  • Unique Keyable Cross Braces allow you to tension the canvas in the middle, where it's needed the most
  • Cross braces are glued and stapled at the 'cross' for maximum support and rigidity
  • Both corner keys and brace keys are pre-installed
 

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.

 

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.

 

Sustainability Promotes Social Well-Being

The forests of the world are a precious resource that must be protected for future generations. By using lumber from sustainably managed forests in our products, we can help to ensure that these valuable resources are preserved and protected. This is not only important for the environment, but also for the social and economic well-being of the communities that rely on these forests for their livelihoods.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

We source our wood from a select group of top-tier environmentally conscious lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. These mills specially dry and heat-treat the lumber to our specifications, resulting in about half the moisture content compared to wood from typical home improvement centers or lumber yards. This process makes the wood stronger, reducing the likelihood of cracking, splitting, or warping. While the wood we use comes at a higher cost, it ensures a more dimensionally stable end product. This stability is crucial for crafting fine professional canvases that support your invaluable art over time.

 

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

There is no remedy for love but to love more. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, the celebrated American essayist, poet, and philosopher, provides a profound insight into the essence of love with this passionate statement. Although not a visual artist, Thoreau's philosophies and writings resonate deeply with the artistic spirit.

Thoreau's love for the natural world was palpable, and he spent years immersed in the beauty of the wilderness, reflecting the way artists immerse themselves in their craft, seeking to capture the essence of the world around them. When he speaks of the remedy for love being to love more, Thoreau invites us, as artists, to reflect on our passions and creative pursuits. He reminds us that just as love grows stronger when nurtured, so does our artistry. Our unwavering devotion and the love we pour into our craft are the paths to artistic excellence.


Journey with us as we blend the wisdom and our own artistic representation of Henry David Thoreau. May this alliance empower your artistic soul. Begin your masterpiece!
