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.

One must do the same subject over again ten times, a hundred times. In art nothing must resemble an accident, not even movement. ♦ Edgar Degas

Distinguished by his dedication to capturing the essence of movement and form, Edgar Degas particularly in his ballet dancer portraits, was no stranger to repetition. To him, mastery was born out of revisiting, reanalyzing, and recreating. It's a sentiment that speaks to the tireless quest for perfection we undertake in our art careers. Each brush stroke, every chisel mark, carries purpose. There's an intention behind every decision.
It is through repetition that we refine our skills and achieve clarity in our vision. The act of revisiting subjects, for us, is not about redundancy but about deepening our understanding and connection. By revisiting, we discern nuances previously unnoticed, tapping into layers of meaning and emotion. Degas's perspective is a reminder that in the realm of art, effort and intention intertwine. Every piece we create becomes an emblem of our growth, commitment, and unyielding passion for our craft.
We love fanning the flames of your artistic passion. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of this intriguing quote and context, and enjoy our own unique creation of this portrait of Edgar Degas. Paint your heart out!
