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.

Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, one of the most influential figures in the Symbolist art movement, was constantly drawn to the allure of nature, finding in it a fountain of inspiration and a mirror to his soul. His travels, especially to Tahiti, allowed him to witness the untouched beauty of the natural world, a stark contrast to the industrialized landscapes of Europe. This exposure deeply influenced his work, emphasizing a raw, primitive style that prioritized emotion over realism.

The sentiment expressed in his words underscores an essential truth for artists: that we are both observers and products of the vast, intricate tapestry of nature. Our creations, whether on canvas or in other mediums, are extensions of the world around us. The hues we select, the strokes we employ, even the emotions we evoke, all find their roots in the wonders of the natural world. As artists, we continually discover that by immersing ourselves in nature's embrace, our creative boundaries expand, and our perspectives transform. Nature, in all its majesty, does not just provide us with a tableau of beauty; it makes us a part of its ever-evolving narrative, reminding us of our role in the grand scheme of things.
