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.

Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself. ♦ Mark Twain

An American writer known for his wit and keen observations, Mark Twain often commented on the depth and complexity of human communication. For artists, this sentiment underscores the power of visual expression. Where words might try to capture the essence of an emotion or scene, a piece of art can often encapsulate the raw, unfiltered intensity of it. When we put brush to canvas, we're often seeking to convey that fire, that genuine emotion which is sometimes lost in translation when confined to mere vocabulary.
In the world of art, it's that silent exchange between the viewer and the canvas that contains the most profound communication. Words can be manipulated, but visual cues, the strokes, hues, and textures, provide a direct insight into an artist's soul. For many artists, it is this silent language that drives them, the pursuit of that perfect visual that communicates what words can never quite achieve. As artists, when we create, we share a part of our soul, hoping others will see the fire within, feel its warmth, and be moved by it.
Draw inspiration from the words of wisdom by Mark Twain, plus our interpretation of its meaning, along with our own rendered portrait of Mark Twain. Now get busy on your own canvas!
