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.

A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.
♦ John Singer Sargent
There's an undeniable wit to this statement, yet also a humble reflection of Sargent's meticulous nature. He was renowned for his ability to capture the exacting details of his subjects, yet even he felt the challenges inherent in achieving perfection, particularly with the mouth Ð a focal point of expression. This serves as a comforting reminder for artists who strive to perfect our composition, yet there are always aspects that elude our utmost efforts. Rather than discouragements, these are the nuances that push us to grow, evolve, and persist in our artistic pursuits.
We are innately drawn to the act of creation. We've channeled this drive to curate this inspiring quote and contex along with our own portrait we created of John Singer Sargent..our tribute to the timeless dance of creativity. Go paint!
