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. 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.

It's not necessary for a painting to be very much finished because the very method you use brightens it up. The scuffings of ground, the little bits of ground left uncovered by the paint, bring light into it if your tonal values are correct. ♦ Paul Gauguin

In these insightful words, Paul Gauguin touches upon the essence of artistic expression and the delicate balance between completion and rawness. Gauguin's own artistic path was a testament to the belief that art is as much about the process as it is about the finished product. The beauty of a canvas isn't solely in its polished finality but also in the traces of its evolution, the hints of the artist's hand at work.

We often grapple with the dilemma of when to deem a piece complete. Gauguin nudges us towards understanding that sometimes, it's the imperfections and the untouched areas that bring vibrancy and life to a piece. These untouched spaces, these moments of pause, are as significant as the painted strokes. They capture the spontaneity, the choices, and the intent of the creator. More than that, they speak to the acceptance that art doesn't always need to be defined by precision but by emotion and authenticity.

Gauguin's life was distinguished by his relentless pursuit of truth and authenticity in his work. To us, he serves as a reminder that our art need not always conform to traditional standards of completion or perfection. Instead, in our path, we should embrace the quirks, the pauses, and the raw moments, for they often hold the key to genuine brilliance.
