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.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ♦ Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher, an American social reformer and speaker, often touched on profound truths about the human experience. His observations weren't just grounded in the societal movements of his time but transcended to grasp universal truths about human nature. Beecher's depiction of the artist using a brush infused with fragments of their soul eloquently captures the deeply personal act of creation.

For those of us in the artistic realm, every piece we produce becomes an intimate reflection of our innermost thoughts, dreams, and fears. It's not just about capturing a scene or depicting an object, but a manifestation of our identity, a fragment of our essence embedded in every creation. As artists, we unveil layers of ourselves, sometimes even those we weren't consciously aware of, and share them with the world. This vulnerability, this brave display of our nature, is what allows us to connect, to touch hearts, and to leave imprints that last beyond our time.
