10x10 Hardcore Pro Versailles Plein Air Canvas Panel #HL-1010

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 10x10 Size

10x10 is one of our most desirable square sizes.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

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.

We are all of us more or less echoes, repeating involuntarily the virtues, the defects, the movements, and the characters of those among whom we live. ♦ George Inness

George Inness, celebrated for his evocative landscapes, touched on a profound truth about human nature with this statement. The concept of echoing - of being shaped by our environment and those we encounter - is universal. Just as a landscape mirrors the changing seasons and the passage of time, so too do we mirror the influences of our surroundings.

This concept is especially relevant. We often draw inspiration from our mentors, our peers, and the world around us, channeling those influences into our work. It's as if the brushstrokes on our canvas reflect not just our own thoughts and emotions, but the collective spirit of those who've touched our lives. Yet, in that echoing, there lies the potential for originality. As we process and reinterpret these influences, we find our unique voice, making art that is both a reflection of our world and a testament to our individual perspective within it.
