Masterpiece® proudly features an exquisite selection of Artfix linen canvas, a testament to the heritage and expertise of another family-owned business flourishing for over 50 years in Provence, France. Artfix is renowned for its diverse range of artist canvas, encompassing primed linens, cottons, and polyesters. The collection is particularly distinguished by its Belgian linen weaves, varying from fine-tooth, quad-primed linens to the characteristic Belgian "handkerchief" linen textures. This range extends to robust, heavy-toothed linens, perfect for large-scale artistic creations.
Each canvas undergoes meticulous preparation, starting with up to two layers of a specially formulated collagen and acrylic copolymer sizing. This crucial step ensures complete isolation of the fabric from the acidic nature of primers and paints. Subsequently, the canvases are primed with one to six layers of either oil-based or acrylic universal primer.
Artfix's acrylic universal primer represents a harmonious blend of modern and traditional priming techniques, offering many of the absorbent characteristics of oil-based primers, but with a ground that remains flexible over time and accepts a wide variety of paint types.

Artfix L22U Universal Acrylic Primed Linen
Delightful hand-primed medium tooth linen with a medium tooth and texture. The "U" in the style name is for universal acrylic primed, which means that it works for virtually all paint types. The unique formulation mimics many attributes of oil-based primers, yet retains the resilience and flexibility characteristic of acrylic priming. Distinct from the typical glossy acrylic primers, this canvas surface has a more matte finish, enhancing its absorbency. This quality ensures superior adhesion for a diverse array of artistic media.
This universal acrylic primed linen is particularly well-suited for oil and acrylic paints, and its absorbent nature makes it an excellent choice for drawing media like oil sticks, pastels, charcoal, and graphite. When mounted on a rigid surface, the universal primed canvas and its smoothish texture even accommodates fragile mediums like egg tempera and caseins with exceptional results.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
♦ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A luminary of the Enlightenment era, Jean-Jacques Rousseau often delved deep into the complexities of human nature and society. His philosophical musings were reflections on his personal experiences and the world around him. Rousseau's assertion on the duality of patience perfectly captures the inherent struggle of waiting and the eventual reward that often comes with perseverance.
This sentiment rings particularly true. Crafting a masterpiece, mastering a technique, or even waiting for the perfect inspiration requires patience. While the process might be fraught with frustrations and self-doubt, it is in our perseverance that we discover our true potential. Just as a sculptor meticulously chisels away at a block of stone, we too refine our skills and vision with each passing day. And, inevitably, when we persevere, the world gets to witness the sweet fruits of our labor and dedication, echoing Rousseau's profound understanding of the human spirit.
Art is visual and ripe with meaning, so enjoy this quote and our interpretation of its meaning, plus an one-of-a-kind portrait we created of Jean-Jacques Rousseau to make it all the more relevant. Pick up that brush and go!
