7x10 Hardcore Pro Pau Plein Air Canvas Panel #HP-0710

True Dynamic Root-2 Proportion - 7x10 Size

This 7x10 is one of our Dynamic Root-2 Rectangle Root-2 Rectangle series.

The Dynamic Root-2 rectangle is an interesting proportion based on organizing your spatial composition with endless symmetrical divisions. The premise in Jay Hambridge's 1926 book is that the Dynamic Symmetry of individual elements are informed by their relationship to the entire composition. This very special proportion is guided by the square roots of integers and has a storied and historical basis in art.

It involves the use of geometric shapes and patterns in the proportion of the square root of 2 to 1 to create balance and harmony in a composition. This can be achieved by dividing a composition into a grid of squares or rectangles, and then placing elements within the grid in a way that follows the principles of dynamic symmetry. Dynamic symmetry is often used to create a sense of order and structure in a composition, and can be particularly useful for creating compositions that are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

Here are a couple of other sizes in the exact same 10:7 proportion:

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.

Through art, we glimpse the essence of life's mysteries. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a central figure in the Impressionist movement, had a unique ability to capture the vibrancy of life on canvas. His paintings, brimming with light and color, reveal a world where moments of simple joy are immortalized. From sunlit landscapes to intimate gatherings, Renoir's works invite us into a realm where life's fleeting beauty is forever captured.

Art, for many of us, is a lens through which we perceive and interpret the world around us. Just as Renoir encapsulated the spirit of an era, every artist strives to grasp the intangible — emotions, ideas, and sensations — and present it in a form that others can relate to. The brush strokes, the choice of colors, the play of light and shadow; each decision is a step towards unraveling the enigma of existence. When we engage with art, whether as creators or appreciators, we are in essence seeking connections, drawing parallels between the artwork and our own experiences. And in those moments, the impenetrable mysteries of life become just a little more comprehensible.
