7x7 Hardcore Pro Pau Plein Air Canvas Panel #HP-0707

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 7x7 Size

This 7x7 size an intriguing and atypical small size odd square.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

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.

Artfix Pau™ Portrait Smooth Belgian Linen offers a luxurious surface, ideal for highly detailed work. Preferred by portrait artists because it is so smooth for linen. Due to the nature of how flax plants are turned into linen textiles, there may be variations in yarn thickness thereby creating fabric that is individual in nature and has character. There can be infrequent naturally occurring nubs in the linen which may yield small slight bumps where the linen is a little thicker than the rest of the strand. This is normal and part of what gives linen its character.

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 is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

Thoreau, a transcendentalist with a profound adoration for the natural world, often sauntered through the woods, not just to explore nature, but to commune with it. For him, the forests and lakes of Walden were not mere scenic backdrops, but living tapestries rich in detail and meaning. Each element, as intricate as a brushstroke, held a story and a purpose.

As artists, we are constantly seeking inspiration. But what if, instead of looking far and wide, we turned our gaze to the delicate patterns of a leaf, or the mesmerizing dance of flames? In nature's grand gallery, every detail is a lesson in design, a testament to the universe's meticulous craftsmanship. So, the next time we find ourselves staring at a blank canvas, remember, even the humblest snowflake can inspire a masterpiece. It's a whimsical thought, but perhaps nature's grandeur and intricacy is just her way of showing off a bit!
