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.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

The genius of Henry David Thoreau, a fervent transcendentalist, lies not only in his writings but in the way he approached life. Thoreau's embrace of nature, minimalism, and deliberate living found its expression in his renowned works, such as Walden, where he chronicles his time living deliberately by Walden Pond. Through his introspective nature, Thoreau arrived at insights about success that many of us are still grappling with today.

The journey often starts with passion. We create, we innovate, and we express because of an intrinsic desire that burns within us. This passion becomes the driving force, making us immerse in our art, often losing track of time or the world around. When we are genuinely engrossed in what we love, without the constant gaze at the end goal, that's when the magic happens. Genuine success, as Thoreau suggests, is a byproduct of this intense commitment and not the primary objective. In such moments, while we're deeply engrossed in our craft, success quietly finds its way to us, recognizing the authenticity and heart we put into our work.
