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.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

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 always been a pencil. ♦ Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

In the bustling milieu of the late 19th-century Montmartre, where bohemians and innovators coalesced, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec distinguished himself not just with his provocative art but also with his profound self-awareness. I have always been a pencil is a deceptively simple assertion, revealing much about Lautrec's perception of himself and his place within the art world. For him, the pencil wasn't just an instrument—it was an extension of his very being.

As we immerse ourselves in our craft, the tools we employ become integral to our expression. They are not just inanimate objects, but vehicles through which our innermost thoughts, feelings, and visions flow. Lautrec's analogy reminds us of the symbiotic relationship between an artist and their medium. In every stroke, shading, or line, there's a piece of us. There's a tool that becomes so innate to our own artistic process that it feels like an extension of our very selves, just as the pencil was for Lautrec. In acknowledging this, we embrace the intimate dance between our souls and the art we produce.
