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.

There is no remedy for love but to love more. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, the celebrated American essayist, poet, and philosopher, provides a profound insight into the essence of love with this passionate statement. Although not a visual artist, Thoreau's philosophies and writings resonate deeply with the artistic spirit.
Thoreau's love for the natural world was palpable, and he spent years immersed in the beauty of the wilderness, reflecting the way artists immerse themselves in their craft, seeking to capture the essence of the world around them. When he speaks of the remedy for love being to love more, Thoreau invites us, as artists, to reflect on our passions and creative pursuits. He reminds us that just as love grows stronger when nurtured, so does our artistry. Our unwavering devotion and the love we pour into our craft are the paths to artistic excellence.
Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Henry David Thoreau twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
