Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance for oil priming.

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.

The true masterpiece is one that hides the pain and showcases beauty. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, with a life riddled with complexities and challenges, found solace and expression in his art. From the bustling streets of Paris to the serene landscapes of Tahiti, his path was punctuated by personal turmoil, health issues, and often, professional isolation. Yet, when we gaze upon his creations, what's striking is not the anguish he might have felt but the profound beauty and harmony he captured on canvas.

Artists, by nature, are translators of emotion. Through the medium of paint, clay, or ink, we transform our struggles, heartaches, and joys into tangible forms. The canvas becomes our confidant, absorbing every nuance of our emotion. But the magic lies in transmuting that raw emotion into something universally appreciable. Gauguin suggests that the epitome of artistic achievement is not merely to depict raw pain but to elevate it, offering viewers an experience of beauty. This, in essence, is the alchemy of artistry. Our art careers are defined by this continuous process of refining emotions, experiences, and thoughts into masterpieces that speak to the soul, transcending the barriers of language and culture.
