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.

With few words, I will make thee understand my soul. ♦ Michelangelo

Michelangelo Buonarroti, the genius sculptor, painter, and architect of the Renaissance, was known for his breathtaking masterpieces and his profound understanding of the human spirit. His works, from the statuesque David to the celestial Sistine Chapel ceiling, spoke volumes about the depth of his artistic vision. And in this succinct statement, Michelangelo emphasizes the power of simplicity in communication and expression.

Artists, in their pursuit of meaning and expression, often grapple with the paradox of trying to convey the vastness of human emotion through the limitations of their medium. Yet, it is in this challenge that true mastery is revealed. For through simplicity, we often find clarity. By choosing the right stroke, the right color, or the right note, artists can distill complex emotions and narratives into something pure and evocative. Michelangelo's own works serve as testament to this. Each creation, characterized by its precise execution, invites us to peer into the depths of his soul and to find reflections of our own. It's a powerful reminder that we must be concise, not only with our words, but with what we say on the canvas. With authenticity and skill, even the most understated expressions can speak volumes and bridge the distance between souls.
