True 1:1 Square Proportion - 14x14 Size
The 14x14 square size is a little less common but gaining in popularity.
The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

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.

The real subject of every painting is light.
♦ Claude Monet
Claude Monet, a foundational figure of the Impressionist movement, was utterly captivated by the transformative power of light. Born in Paris, Monet's artistic career was characterized by his pursuit to capture the fleeting moments where light danced upon water, meadows, and architectural facades. His series paintings, such as those of water lilies and haystacks, were not mere repetitions of the same subject, but rather explorations of how changing light conditions could dramatically alter the mood and atmosphere of a scene.
The play of light on a canvas can be a revelation, revealing the depth, emotion, and nuance in a scene that might otherwise go unnoticed. As we observe and interpret the world around us, it's not merely the objects and figures that capture our attention but the way in which light interacts with them, highlighting certain aspects and casting others into shadow. Light, in its ever-shifting forms, challenges us to see beyond the obvious, to recognize the subtleties, and to appreciate the transient beauty that exists in every moment.
We love fanning the flames of your artistic passion. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of this intriguing quote and context, and enjoy our own unique creation of this portrait of Claude Monet. Paint your heart out!
