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.

When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness. ♦ Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch, the Norwegian artist best known for his iconic painting The Scream, frequently explored the complex interplay of human emotions, perceptions, and relationships. His works often encapsulated raw feelings, from agony to ecstasy, all captured with intense vividness. Munch's quote here offers a witty observation on human nature, suggesting that when he paints someone, the person's adversaries are more likely to see it as an accurate portrayal, perhaps due to their critical or biased perspectives.

This notion highlights the intriguing challenge we face in representing subjects. As we capture a moment, emotion, or character on canvas, interpretation lies heavily in the eyes of the beholder. Our work becomes a mirror, reflecting not only the subject's essence but also revealing the biases, preconceptions, and emotions of those who view it. Through art, we can expose these biases, prompting introspection and dialogue among our audience. After all, the true magic of art lies not just in its creation, but in its capacity to evoke a myriad of responses and emotions in those who experience it.
