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.

Art is a line around your thoughts. I can't understand how anyone is able to paint without optimism. Despite the general pessimistic attitude in the world today, I am nothing but an optimist. ♦ Gustav Klimt

An icon in the realm of Symbolist painting, Gustav Klimt is celebrated for the intricate patterns and rich gold leafing that define works like The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer IHis paintings, often blending eroticism with allegory, are a testament to his distinct vision of the world. Klimt's insight into art being a line around one's thoughts provides a window into the intimate relationship between an artist's inner world and their creations.

Art becomes a refuge, a space where optimism can thrive even in the midst of external pessimism. When we pick up our brushes, optimism becomes a choice we make, a conscious decision to bring forth hope and beauty. This belief in the positive, this unwavering optimism, is what guides our hand, fuels our passion, and propels us forward. Just as Klimt emphasized, without this foundational optimism, the very act of creation becomes a challenge.

The sentiment Klimt shared highlights the transformative power of art. Even in times where negativity seems pervasive, we, like Klimt, can choose to let our creations be a testament to hope, a beacon of positivity, inviting others to share in our optimistic vision and perhaps find solace in the beauty we bring into the world.
