Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

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

Don't be an art critic, but paint, there lies salvation. ♦ Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne, a post-impressionist master whose influence extended far beyond his lifetime, held a fervent belief in the transformative power of creating art. He was well-acquainted with the weight of external opinions, having faced ample criticism throughout his career. Cézanne's advice serves as a clarion call to artists: to immerse themselves fully in the act of creation, undeterred by the inevitable critique that follows.

It's easy to get lost in the labyrinth of feedback and reviews, often allowing the voices of others to overshadow our own. But Cézanne encourages us to find solace and redemption in our art. He reminds us that while constructive criticism can be beneficial, it's the act of painting, the communion between the artist and the medium, that truly defines our path. By heeding his words, we can navigate our art careers with a renewed focus, letting the essence of our creativity shine through, untouched by the clamor of outside opinions.
