Masterpiece® takes pride in featuring the exceptional Artfix linen canvas, a hallmark of another family-owned business with over 50 years of expertise in Provence, France. Artfix stands out for its conservation-grade Belgian Linen, hand-primed by skilled artisans, catering to the needs of professional artists and conservation specialists. The collection boasts a variety of artist canvas types, including primed linens, cottons, and polyesters, highlighted by its Belgian linen weaves. From fine-tooth, quad-primed linens to the distinctive Belgian linen textures, the range covers a spectrum of desirable surfaces suitable for both intricate and large-scale artworks.
Each Artfix canvas is a masterpiece of preparation, beginning with up to two layers of specially formulated collagen and acrylic copolymer sizing. This essential process safeguards the canvas from the acidic elements in primers and paints, ensuring longevity and durability. Following this, the canvases receive between one and six layers of either oil-based or acrylic universal primer, making them versatile for various artistic mediums and techniques.
The oil-based primer from Artfix mirrors the traditional characteristics of lead priming but is free from harmful toxicity. This primer's unique properties enhance the absorption of oil paints, significantly improving adhesion, color depth, and luminosity. It is especially recommended for all oils and alkyd paints, providing artists with a reliable and high-quality surface for their creative expressions.

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
♦ Claude Monet
Monet's relationship with flowers was profound. As a child, he was enamored by nature, often wandering through gardens and meadows. This affinity only grew stronger as he matured, ultimately manifesting in the sprawling gardens of Giverny. To say he 'owed' his career to flowers isn't an exaggeration. Flowers were more than just subjects of his paintings; they were muses that whispered secrets of light, shadow, and color.
His iconic water lilies, radiant irises, and countless other floral masterpieces stand testament to this deep connection. For Monet, flowers weren't just botanical entities; they were living poems, each petal a stanza, each hue a verse. Through them, he learned the language of light and color, and in their silent beauty, found his life's calling.
The spirit of artistry is inspiration and creation. We too are inspired by the wisdom of this quote and hope you are inspired by our interpretation thereof, as well as this inimitable portrait we created of Claude Monet. Go create!
