12x24 Hardcore Pro Muir Plein Air Canvas Panel #HA-1224

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 12x24 Size

12x24 is one of our popular Domino 2:1 sizes.

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. 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.

Look — I'm an educated man, I'm not stupid, I can read and write like you, but in my works, I choose to dream. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's assertive proclamation underscores a sentiment many artists come to realize in their careers: the choice to follow intuition over convention, to prioritize emotion over intellect. Gauguin, well-read and informed, could have chosen a path defined by the conventions of his time. Yet, he opted to explore the dreamscape of his imagination, reminding us that art is as much about feeling as it is about form.

Artists often face a dichotomy between what society expects and the inner callings of their passion. Gauguin's words encourage us to trust our instincts and to allow ourselves the freedom to explore beyond the tangible and the evident. In our path, while knowledge and education are invaluable, it's the courage to dream that often distinguishes our most memorable works. Our ability to connect, dream, and translate those dreams into tangible pieces is what makes us unique and what compels the world to stop and take notice.
