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.

♦ Anatole France
Anatole France, the French novelist and poet born in 1844, offers profound insight into his creative process with this statement. His life was characterized by a deep appreciation for the arts and a profound understanding of human imagination.
France's literary works often ventured into the realms of fantasy and imagination, reflecting his belief in the power of the mind to transcend mere knowledge. He recognized that as artists, our true creativity thrives not in the confines of what we know, but in the boundless realm of what we can imagine. This wisdom reminds us that our ability to envision, dream, and create is at the heart of our craft, breathing life, depth, and emotion into our work.
We hope you will be inspired by the wisdom, and our interpretation thereof, of Anatole France, plus we made this unique little portrait to begin the creative process. Time to start your creative process!
