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.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. ♦ Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, the iconic physicist known for his groundbreaking theories, was not just a man of science, but also a profound thinker who delved deep into the nature of life, purpose, and human potential. Beyond his monumental scientific achievements, Einstein frequently pondered the essence of a meaningful life. While success often shines as a coveted goal in society's eyes, Einstein challenges this notion, urging a deeper, more enduring pursuit: value.

In the realm of art, this distinction is particularly salient. While accolades and recognition might define success, the true essence of an artist's contribution lies in the value they bring to the world. We, as artists, channel our creativity, passion, and vision into pieces that touch lives, instigate thought, and evoke emotion. The impact of a heartfelt masterpiece or a thought-provoking sculpture extends far beyond fleeting admiration. It becomes a part of cultural dialogues, inspires others, and, sometimes, even shapes the course of history.

Thus, by focusing on the value our work brings, we anchor our art career in purpose and authenticity. It's a call to look beyond transient markers of success and delve deep into what truly matters: making a difference, sparking change, and enriching the human experience. Embracing Einstein's wisdom, we find a path illuminated by purpose and lasting impact.


Celebrating the creativity in all of us, we've taken a step provide these words of wisdom and to immortalize Albert Einstein through our own unique portrait. Pick up your brush and create!
