14x21 Hardcore Pro Saint-Cloud Plein Air Canvas Panel #HD-1421

True 3:2 Film Proportion - 14x21 Size

The 3:2 aspect ratio is a very familiar format film, computer screens, and video, and, of course, is an aesthetically appealing proportion for your artistic compositions. Most 35 mm film cameras are based on this exact proportion, so our brains are trained to see images in this same ratio. It is commonly used for landscape photography and artwork, as it allows for a wide, panoramic view of the scene. It can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in the composition, providing depth and perspective, as the longer sides of the canvas allow for more space to depict the background or foreground elements of the scene.

Even though this proportion is widely used, there are only a handful of commonly available standard canvas sizes in this ratio. There are a whole collection of intriguing (what we call) Lost Sizes, which are uncommon sizes in this common proportion. Unusual canvas sizes add intrigue to your artwork and an additional story to tell about your painting.

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.

Poetry demands a man with special talent. It is not enough to have knowledge about some particular subject. ♦ Aristotle

When Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, opined on the intricacies of poetry, he was diving into a realm beyond mere intellectual comprehension. Renowned for his expansive treatises on various subjects, from biology to ethics, Aristotle understood the distinction between acquiring knowledge and the innate ability to breathe life into words. Knowledge, he believed, was accessible to many, but the magic of poetry required an added spark: talent.

In the art world, this distinction becomes even more pronounced. While learning the techniques and mastering the craft are crucial steps, it's the inherent passion and innate talent that often sets an artist's work apart. We can study, practice, and refine our skills, but the soulful expression, the unseen touch that transforms a piece of art into a timeless masterpiece, stems from something more profound. Just as a poem becomes more than mere words on a page, our art, too, transcends the materials we use. It's a culmination of our emotions, experiences, and that indefinable talent which reminds us that while knowledge is powerful, the spirit with which we approach our work defines its true essence.
