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.

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.

Lightly Wipe 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.

I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, the epitome of the Renaissance Man, was an artist, scientist, mathematician, and inventor. His illustrious masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are technical and compositional masterpieces in the history of art. Yet, his reflective lament captures a sentiment that most artists, at one point or another, have wrestled with: the feeling that our work falls short of our own expectations or its potential.

Our creations are an extension of our very being. When we feel they are not up to snuff, it feels like a personal failing. But Leonardo demonstrates that even the most celebrated of artists, whose works have achieved global acclaim, are no less or more human than the rest of us, and certainly not immune to self-doubt.

It's both humbling and invigorating to know that such a luminary as da Vinci felt this way. These moments of doubt and introspection, while agonizing, can also be the crucibles from which even finer art emerges. If Leonardo believed he could do better, it's not a sign of his inadequacy, but rather a testament to his unyielding pursuit of excellence. When we commit to that same pursuit, every brushstroke, every note, and every word becomes a step closer to our truest potential.
