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 L43U Universal Acrylic Primed Linen
Heavy weight acrylic primed linen canvas. Great for large and small works with a very heavy body, yet has a pleasing medium surface tooth. It has a bright white tone. 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.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Primer Pigment

In every brushstroke, there is the heart of a woman who refuses to be silenced. (Inspired by the life and experience of Artemisia; not an actual quote.).
♦ Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi, a formidable figure in the Baroque art movement, faced trials and tribulations that would have broken many. Yet, her resilience and determination only served to fuel her artistic passions. Born in a time when women artists were rarely recognized, Artemisia confronted not just the biases of a male-dominated art world, but also personal traumas that marked her early life. Despite the challenges she encountered, her paintings displayed an intensity and emotional depth that was unparalleled.
When we, as artists, approach our work, it's essential to remember the legacy of individuals like Artemisia, who used art as a powerful medium of expression and resistance. Her canvases became the battlegrounds where she could voice her experiences, her pains, and her triumphs. Through the mastery of her craft, she conveyed not just her personal stories, but also became an emblematic voice for many women who sought to be heard. Thus, for artists today, each brushstroke is not merely an act of painting; it's an act of reaffirming our identities, our experiences, and our place in history.
We curated this insightful quote by Artemisia Gentileschi, and our interpretation thereof; plus we made this portrait in the spirit of creativity. Time to create your own expression!
