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.

I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, the epitome of the Renaissance Man, was an artist, scientist, mathematician, and inventor. His illustrious masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are technical and compositional masterpieces in the history of art. Yet, his reflective lament captures a sentiment that most artists, at one point or another, have wrestled with: the feeling that our work falls short of our own expectations or its potential.
Our creations are an extension of our very being. When we feel they are not up to snuff, it feels like a personal failing. But Leonardo demonstrates that even the most celebrated of artists, whose works have achieved global acclaim, are no less or more human than the rest of us, and certainly not immune to self-doubt.
It's both humbling and invigorating to know that such a luminary as da Vinci felt this way. These moments of doubt and introspection, while agonizing, can also be the crucibles from which even finer art emerges. If Leonardo believed he could do better, it's not a sign of his inadequacy, but rather a testament to his unyielding pursuit of excellence. When we commit to that same pursuit, every brushstroke, every note, and every word becomes a step closer to our truest potential.
Journey with us as we blend the wisdom and our own artistic representation of Leonardo da Vinci. May this alliance empower your artistic soul. Begin your masterpiece!
