Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

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.

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.

The painter has the universe in his mind and hands. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential Renaissance man, whose name is synonymous with artistic genius, offers this profound insight into the essence of painting. Born in Vinci, Italy, in 1452, Leonardo's life was a testament to the boundless curiosity and creativity that define the artistic spirit.

Leonardo was not only referring to the act of mere painting; rather he was inviting us to better understand the inner and personal process of an artist. He believed that painters possessed a unique power – the ability to capture the vastness of the universe within the confines of their work. He saw painting as a gateway to the exploration of the natural world, a means of understanding the profound interconnectedness of all things, both in science and in art.

Leonardo's relentless pursuit of knowledge, his detailed anatomical studies, and his fascination with the mysteries of the cosmos all reflect his desire to comprehend the world that we have inherited, all these many centuries later. Leonardo's words remind us of the limitless potential within us as we embark on our artistic journey. We too have the universe at our fingertips, a universe waiting to be explored, expressed, and shared with the world.
