5x10 Hardcore Pro Monterey Plein Air Canvas Panel #HM-0510

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 5x10 Size

An intriguing Domino size!

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

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.

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.

If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

Van Gogh's life was characterized by a relentless pursuit of his artistic vision, even in the face of widespread misunderstanding and criticism. This sentiment, expressed in the juxtaposition of wheat and grass, captures a truth that artists have confronted for centuries: the challenge of being recognized and valued in their own time.

In the cyclical ebb and flow of the art world, many creators often grapple with doubt, especially when external validation is sparse. But Van Gogh's analogy encourages us to persevere and trust in the intrinsic value of our creations, regardless of current public perception. For artists, our self-worth is not contingent upon fleeting trends or immediate acclaim. Instead, it's anchored in the authenticity and dedication we bring to our work every day. This wisdom from Van Gogh is a timeless reminder that our contributions have value, even if it takes the world a little longer to see it.
