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.

What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence. ♦ Claude Monet

Behind the delicate brushstrokes and dappled light of Claude Monet's masterpieces lies a depth of emotion and a profound connection to the world around him. Often, when we think of the Impressionist movement, images of serene lily ponds and vibrant poppy fields come to mind. However, beyond the obvious beauty of these scenes, Monet's works are a testament to the subtleties and nuances of life, the silent moments filled with color and emotion that often go unnoticed.

In the bustling world of art, where voices clamor for attention and boldness is often equated with impact, Monet's sentiment is a gentle reminder of the power of subtlety. For artists, the silent interludes, the pauses between thoughts, the quiet moments of observation and reflection, are often where true inspiration lies. These moments of 'colorful silence' are where we, as artists, can truly listen to our inner voice and let it guide our hands and hearts.

Monet's work encourages us to find beauty in the everyday, to seek inspiration not just in the grand and magnificent, but in the quiet, the mundane, and the fleeting. It's a call to appreciate the myriad of colors that life presents, even in its silent moments. For in this silence, there's a symphony of hues waiting to be discovered, urging us to keep our hearts awake and receptive.
