Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

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

The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard, a writer and philosopher of the early 20th century, possessed a deep understanding of human behavior and the intricacies of interpersonal interactions. This sentiment reflects a profound wisdom: true strength is not shown in the easy moments but in those that challenge our emotional fortitude. Criticism, especially for those of us passionate about our work, can be a hard pill to swallow. But Hubbard posits that enduring such criticism with grace and without harboring ill feelings is a testament to one's character.

Artists open themselves up to the world, laying bare their souls on canvas, in sculpture, or through any other medium of choice. As such, the feedback can be a mix of admiration and critique. The creative process becomes deeply personal, and it's easy for us to conflate criticism of our work with criticism of ourselves. Yet, as Hubbard astutely points out, true greatness lies not in the absence of criticism but in our ability to accept it, learn from it, and move forward without letting it cloud our hearts or minds. In navigating our art careers, let's remember that every piece of feedback is an opportunity for growth, and enduring it with poise is a testament to our resilience and dedication.
