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.

What I dream of is an art of balance.
♦ Henri Matisse
The life and work of Henri Matisse, a leading figure in modern art, can be characterized by a continuous quest for harmony. Known for his innovative use of color and form, Matisse strived for a delicate equilibrium between the audacious and the subdued, the complex and the simple. He believed that every brushstroke, every hue, held profound meaning and needed to coexist in perfect harmony on the canvas.
In the broader spectrum of our art careers, this quest for balance is ever-present. We strive to find the equilibrium between technique and expression, between innovation and tradition, and between our artistic vision and the external influences that shape it. Matisse's dream reminds us that the true essence of art lies in this delicate balance. It urges us to continually evaluate and re-evaluate our work, ensuring that each element complements the other, creating a cohesive masterpiece that stands as a testament to our unique artistic voice.
We believe in the power of words to inspire, and the magic of art to connect. Enjoy this meaningful quote with contextual background, and admire our unique rendition of Henri Matisse to complement your imagination. Get busy on your next composition!
