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.

I never can paint what I would like to. ♦ John Singer Sargent

John Singer Sargent, renowned for his masterful portraits and breathtaking watercolors, candidly captures a sentiment many artists experience throughout their careers. Though his works hang with reverence in some of the world's most esteemed institutions, his personal reflection sheds light on the innate struggle between imagination and execution, between what one envisions and what finally graces the canvas.

This gap between intention and realization is something we all face. It reminds us that perfection in art isn't always about exact replication of our thoughts, but about the pursuit, the process, and the growth it brings. In pushing ourselves to bring our visions to life, we engage in a dialogue with our medium, with our skills, and ultimately, with ourselves. While we might not always produce what we initially sought out to create, the artistic process invariably yields something uniquely beautiful in its own right, an artifact of our dedication and passion.
