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.

Beauty is the silent poetry of the canvas. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a pillar of the Impressionist movement, had a way of capturing the essence of life's fleeting moments on canvas. His subjects, often bathed in soft, warm light, showcased the innate beauty present in everyday scenarios. But for Renoir, painting was more than just a representation. It was an eloquent expression, a visual verse that whispered tales of emotion, ambiance, and the human spirit.

For many artists, we understand this sentiment intimately. When words fall short, our brushes take over, painting narratives that resonate with the core of human experience. The colors we choose, the strokes we employ, all come together to form a silent sonnet, a mute ode to the world around and within us. Renoir's insight serves as a reminder that while art may be silent in sound, its message, imbued with beauty and emotion, can echo across time, speaking volumes to those willing to listen and feel.
