8x10 Hardcore Pro Saint-Cloud Plein Air Canvas Panel #HD-0810

True 5:4 Photography Proportion - 8x10 Size

And 8x10, of course, is one of the most popular sizes ever in both photography and art!

The 5:4 aspect ratio is common to both art and portrait photography, as it creates a visually pleasing format for the human figure and face. The balanced compositional format can help to create a sense of symmetry and harmony in your artwork. The 5:4 ratio has a familiar "feel", as it was commonly used in early computer monitors. Additionally, you might consider trying some relatively unknown sizes in this same proportion that we call Lost Sizes As an artist, you get the best of both worlds, because you still get to use the same aesthetically appealing 5:4 format and use rare or novel sizes that help make your art stand-out.

Check-out one of these other sizes in the same 5:4 aspect ratio:

4x5 • 12x15 • 16x20

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.

To create a work of art is to create the world. ♦ Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, ventured beyond the visual confines of the world as we see it. Instead, he explored the intangible, the emotions, the sounds — making them palpable through his avant-garde creations. Kandinsky wasn't just painting pictures; he was, in a sense, reshaping the very understanding of what art could be.

Every brushstroke, every choice of color, every form taken by the paint on a canvas is a declaration of the artist's perception of the world. For us, as artists, the act of creation is a profound endeavor. It's not just about replicating reality; it's about reimagining it. With every piece we create, we offer a fresh perspective, a new world molded by our emotions, experiences, and insights. Just as Kandinsky believed, we hold the power to not just reflect the world but to reinvent it, making art a continually evolving dialogue between our inner worlds and the universe that surrounds us.

We hope you will be inspired by the wisdom, and our interpretation thereof, of Wassily Kandinsky, plus we made this unique little portrait to begin the creative process. Time to start your creative process!
