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.

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.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a luminary of the Renaissance era, was not only an exceptional artist but also a philosopher, scientist, and inventor. His curious and analytical mind sought to understand the world in all its facets. This quote from da Vinci highlights the delicate balance that exists in life: the tension between risk and safety, between ambition and restraint.

This sentiment holds profound significance. In our pursuit of innovation and expression, we frequently confront the unknown. Embracing courage, we venture into uncharted territories of our creativity, risking failure or criticism. Yet, that very fear that acts as a brake, prompting introspection and caution, also ensures that we don't stray too far from our core. It reminds us to stay grounded and retain a sense of self. In this dance between bravery and trepidation, we find our unique voice, refine our craft, and truly realize the depth of our potential.
