True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 8x16 Size

8x16 is one of our popular Domino 2:1 sizes.

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

Poitiers™ Portriat Smooth Oil Primed Artfix Linen

Our smoothest oil primed linen canvas. It is a heavy weight linen with a captivating warm golden hue tone.

  • 100% Belgian Linen 6.2 oz.; Primed Weight 14.1 oz. per square yard
  • Meidum Weight, Fine Weave, Portrait Smooth Texture
  • Double Sized and Quadruple Primed with acid-free archival quality oil primed ground
  • Impenetrable ground prevents oil paint from leaching through and harming the canvas
  • For oils, alkyds, and water miscible oil paints
  • Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance for oil 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 Poitiers™ 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.

Oil paint on an oil primed canvas improves your results

Using an oil prepared canvas for oil painting can produce superior results because the paint and ground are organically similar and create an ideal "chemical bond" where the paint sinks into the ground resulting in a smoother and more even finish. The resulting bond between the paint and canvas is stronger, making the artwork more durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the melding of the two oil-based materials creates an effect called luminosity, where the colors appear to glow from within, and thereby enhances the vibrancy and brightness of the colors, impacting the way light reflects off the colors.

Flash an Oil Prepared Canvas with Mineral Spirits

While it is not required, for best results, lightly wipe or flash the oil prepared canvas with mineral spirits before painting to make sure that your surface is completely clean of any dust or contaminants before painting.

 

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.

My life has been nothing but a failure. ♦ Claude Monet

t's shocking to realize the vulnerability behind the man known for his pioneering contributions to Impressionism. Monet's canvas was often luminous, capturing light and atmosphere in ways that transformed the art world. Yet, his internal world, rife with personal struggles and self-doubt, painted a starkly contrasting picture. His introspective lament serves as a poignant realization that even the greatest of artists are real people with real problems and insecurities, who question their own self-worth and impact they make in the world.

Such moments of reflection are not unfamiliar to any of us. We often find ourselves at crossroads, questioning our creations and their value. While the external world sees our achievements, the internal world might be clouded with uncertainties. Yet, we must remember that our perceived failures often pave the way for growth. Monet's legacy, filled with groundbreaking work, stands as a testament to the profound impact one can make in the world, despite our human frailties. By acknowledging our fears and continuing to create, we, too, can hope to leave a lasting impression on the canvas of time.


Creativity is everything to us artists, so while you bring canvases to life, we've breathed digital life into a likeness we made of Claude Monet, and provide a quote and context to inspire your art. Together, our creations honor the past, present, and future of artistry. Start spreading some paint around your own canvas!
