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.

I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

Delving into the turbulent life of Vincent Van Gogh, a narrative emerges, one characterized by a series of seemingly unplanned deviations. It was never Van Gogh's initial ambition to become one of the most celebrated artists in history. Early in his path, he aspired to serve the church, yet he found his true calling in painting, capturing the world's intricate beauty on canvas. The undulating course of his career, marked by moments of sheer brilliance interspersed with profound struggles, showcases that sometimes, fate has a different plan for us than we envision.

Artists often find that while we may set out with a clear plan in our minds, the unexpected turns in our careers can lead to the most profound sources of inspiration. Van Gogh's commitment to his craft, even in the face of adversity, serves as a potent reminder that embracing our fated paths, no matter how unpredictable, can lead to unparalleled artistic discoveries. While not every venture will bear the fruits of success, the relentless pursuit of passion ensures that our art remains authentic and true to our essence.
