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 put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

One of the most iconic figures in the world of art, Vincent Van Gogh's life was as turbulent and passionate as the swirling skies he painted in Starry Night. His statement, so raw and candid, brings to light the tumultuous intersection of passion, creativity, and personal well-being. Van Gogh's battles with mental health have been widely discussed, and it is clear that the intense emotional depth he channeled into his art was both his salve and his ailment.

Such dedication to craft can be a double-edged sword. We invest emotionally, mentally, and physically in our work. In Van Gogh's experience, this profound connection to art was a consuming fire, illuminating the canvas but often scorching the artist in its wake. But it's also worth noting that this very vulnerability is what granted his work an unparalleled depth of emotion. His tale serves as a poignant reminder for us to balance our fervor with self-care, recognizing that while art can be all-consuming, nurturing our well-being ensures we can continue to share our unique perspectives with the world.
