True 3:2 Film Proportion - 4x6 Size

The 3:2 aspect ratio is a very familiar format film, computer screens, and video, and, of course, is an aesthetically appealing proportion for your artistic compositions. Most 35 mm film cameras are based on this exact proportion, so our brains are trained to see images in this same ratio. It is commonly used for landscape photography and artwork, as it allows for a wide, panoramic view of the scene. It can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in the composition, providing depth and perspective, as the longer sides of the canvas allow for more space to depict the background or foreground elements of the scene.

Even though this proportion is widely used, there are only a handful of commonly available standard canvas sizes in this ratio. There are a whole collection of intriguing (what we call) Lost Sizes, which are uncommon sizes in this common proportion. Unusual canvas sizes add intrigue to your artwork and an additional story to tell about your painting.

Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

 

Muir™ Acrylic Primed Belgian Linen

Characteristic linen type surface texture. It has a bright white tone.

  • 100% Belgian Linen 5 oz.; Primed Weight 12 oz. per square yard
  • Medium Weight, Open Weave, Textured Surface
  • Double Sized and Double Primed with acid-free archival quality acrylic gesso
  • Impenetrable ground prevents oil paint from leaching through and harming the canvas
  • For acrylics, oils, alkyds, and water miscible oil paints
  • Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.

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.

 

Our Hardcore Pro Pro Canvas Panels are the flattest on the market. They are made using MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is the highest quality engineered wood board on the market. Moisture in the board can cause undesirable results to the panel and your artwork, which is why we size the board with four layers on the front before the canvas is mounted, thereby defending against moisture getting into the board and underneath your artwork.

Canvas Panels should be as flat as possible, otherwise, they don't display well in a frame, and can create spaces between the artwork and the frame. A bowed panel is also a sign of having been impacted by the effect of moisture. Canvas can shrink, even after it is mounted on the board. For this reason, Masterpiece® developed a unique proprietary process that stress-relieves each panel, thereby virtually eliminating the bow that is commonly found in competing panel products. Hardcore Pro Canvas Panels provide a stable foundation for your art.

Hardcore Pro Professional canvases are built one-by-one and stretched using our proprietary stretching process called, MuseumWrap™, which relies on in-house custom-built pneumatic machinery that delivers consistently drum-tight stretched canvas, balanced tension across the canvas surface, neatly folded uncut corners, and paintable edges. It is the absolute best way to stretch a canvas.

 

Every portrait that is painted with feeling, is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. ♦ Oscar Wilde

The flamboyant and ever-witty Oscar Wilde was not only a master of the written word but also an astute observer of human nature and the intricacies of the creative process. His life, distinguished by boldness and an unabashed embrace of his true self, offers a captivating perspective on the relationship between an artist and their work.

When an artist picks up a brush or any other tool of their craft, they imbue each stroke with their emotions, perspectives, and life experiences. The canvas, rather than just capturing the external likeness of the sitter, becomes a mirror reflecting the artist's soul. This profound connection suggests that while the subject may be external, the emotions and interpretations are deeply personal. For artists, our creations often reveal more about our inner world than they do about the world we're depicting.

Therefore, Wilde's words serve as a reminder that art is an intimate dialogue between the creator and the creation. As artists, we share a piece of ourselves in every work, making the artistic process not just a representation but a revelation.


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