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.

  • Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.

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.

When you paint, try to put down exactly what you see. Whatever the object is - whether it's a shadow on the wall or something else. Just paint it exactly as you see it. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's emphasis on depicting what one truly sees speaks to the importance of authenticity and personal vision in art. Gauguin himself left behind the confines of European society and headed to Tahiti, where he sought a deeper, unfiltered connection with his surroundings. There, far from the dictates of academic painting, he was able to paint with raw honesty, capturing the essence of his environment and the people he encountered.

In urging artists to paint what they see, Gauguin is challenging us to move beyond mere representation. It's a call to delve into our perceptions, our reactions, and our understanding of the world around us. As artists, we have the power to bring a unique perspective to our work. By being true to our vision and painting with sincerity, we invite our audience to see the world through our eyes, fostering a connection that transcends the canvas. This approach not only elevates our art but also creates an intimate bond between the artist and the viewer, bridging the gap between observation and understanding.


We've handpicked this quote and our interpretation of it's meaning to inspire your art. And we honor the legacy of Paul Gauguin by creating this one-of-a-kind portrait to tie it all together. Start Painting!
