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.

In nature, everything is in constant tension while maintaining harmony.
♦ George Inness
George Inness, celebrated for his evocative landscapes, tapped into a profound understanding of the world around him. His observations of nature revealed a delicate dance between opposing forces, each striving for dominance yet finding a unique equilibrium. It's a dance that mirrors the challenges and balances we encounter in our art careers, always juggling various demands while seeking the perfect composition or the right blend of colors.
The tumultuous relationship between elements in nature - the wind against the trees, the ebb and flow of tides - reminds us that beauty often arises from struggle. Similarly, as artists, we wrestle with our concepts, mediums, and even our own internal critiques. But it's through this tension, this push and pull, that our most authentic and impactful works emerge. We embrace the chaos, understanding that the harmony we seek in our pieces is a reflection of nature's own majestic equilibrium. For us, recognizing this balance and striving for it in our creations is what gives life to art, drawing from the ever-inspiring rhythms of the world around us.
To enhance your creative exploration of our site, we offer the insightful wisdom of George Inness, our interpretation, and little one-of-a-kind portrait that we created. Now go paint!
