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.

Hardcore™ Pro Professional canvases are built one-by-one and stretched using our proprietary stretching process called, MuseumWrap™, which relies on in-house custom-built pneumatic machinery that delivers consistently drum-tight stretched canvas, balanced tension across the canvas surface, neatly folded uncut corners, and paintable edges. It is the absolute best way to stretch a canvas.
Every man has a right to risk his own life for the preservation of it.
♦ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was known for challenging prevailing notions and advocating for a return to a more natural state of existence. In the labyrinth of his thoughts, he proposed that individuals inherently possess certain rights, simply by virtue of their humanity.
His point is that we accept many risks to pursue our passion. While it may not be a physical risk, every brushstroke can be seen as an artist risking a piece of themselves for the preservation of their vision and voice. It's a gamble with public perception, with personal expectations, and sometimes with our very livelihoods. Yet, we embrace this risk because, for many of us, creating is as essential as breathing. It's a necessary act of preserving our essence, our perspectives, and our place in the vast tapestry of history.
The act of creation is inherently tied to vulnerability and exposure. But as Rousseau posits, every individual possesses the innate right to risk, to dare, and to venture into the unknown for the very preservation of what makes them unique. And so, with each new piece we create, we echo this sentiment, embracing both our inherent rights and the inherent risks that come with them.
Journey with us as we blend the wisdom and our own artistic representation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. May this alliance empower your artistic soul. Begin your masterpiece!
