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.

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.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, an American philosopher, writer, and transcendentalist, often found himself engrossed in the natural world, seeking a deeper connection with the environment around him. His Walden experiment, where he lived for over two years in a cabin by Walden Pond, was more than just a retreat—it was a conscious attempt to experience life in its most organic form, away from the clamor of society. For Thoreau, living deliberately meant immersing oneself in the present moment, embracing the sensations, experiences, and lessons that each season presents.

In the realm of art, this sentiment holds significant weight. For artists, we may consider each project, each canvas, as a season. By immersing ourselves fully in the process, drinking in every moment of inspiration, and allowing the natural flow of our creativity to guide us, we find our most authentic expressions. The idea is not to force, but to allow—to let the influences of each experience mold us, shape our work, and bring forth the most genuine representation of our vision.

Embracing each season, whether in life or in our art careers, means honoring the present, cherishing the unique characteristics it offers, and allowing its essence to seep into the core of our being. Thoreau's words remind us to be present, to be authentic, and to celebrate the ever-evolving journey of existence and artistic expression.
