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.

♦ Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci's multifaceted genius extended far beyond the confines of his celebrated artworks. His notebooks reveal a thinker deeply engaged with the intricacies of human nature and the broader cosmos. Through this quote, Leonardo underscores a profound appreciation for resilience, a quality that he, as an artist and inventor, embodied in many facets of his life.
The path is seldom smooth. We encounter critiques, self-doubt, and a myriad of challenges. Yet, as Leonardo suggests, it is in confronting these adversities that we often discover our true mettle. Those of us who face difficulties with a smile, who use setbacks as a catalyst for growth, exhibit the very spirit that da Vinci admired. Through introspection, we refine our vision, allowing our art to evolve in tandem with our personal growth. Leonardo's words serve as a poignant reminder that in the crucible of challenges, character is forged and greatness emerges.
Creativity is the heart of what we both do. So we've curated this empowering quote and some background. And, in our own act of creation, we provide this unique portrayal we made of Leonardo da Vinci.
