5x10 Hardcore Pro Muir Plein Air Canvas Panel #HA-0510

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 5x10 Size

An intriguing Domino size!

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

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.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming.

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.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

An influential writer and philosopher, Elbert Hubbard was no stranger to the challenges that come with carving out a unique path in life. His beliefs were anchored in the power of perseverance, discipline, and self-awareness. Rather than leaving accomplishments to the whims of fate, Hubbard believed in the proactive role an individual plays in crafting their destiny. It's not simply about having a vision; it's the daily dedication to that vision that becomes pivotal.

This sentiment echoes deeply. In the vast landscape of creative expression, it is easy to be overwhelmed or feel adrift. Yet, with clarity of purpose and the unwavering commitment to one's art, progress becomes palpable. Every brush stroke, every sketch, and every critique pushes us forward. As we embrace the discipline of daily practice and the unyielding focus on our artistic aspirations, we inch closer to the masterpieces we envision. Hubbard's wisdom serves as a guiding light, reminding us that it's the daily endeavors, as much as the overarching dreams, that shape the trajectory of our art careers.
