Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time.

This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

Monet™ Pro 1.5" Deep Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• Produces a 1.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it. ♦ Plutarch

The ancient philosopher Plutarch had a way of distilling vast existential truths into concise reflections. This particular quote emphasizes the transience of human existence, nudging us to savor every fleeting moment. Even in the grand tapestry of history, a human life, with all its triumphs and tragedies, is but a brief flicker.

In the realm of art, this sentiment gains heightened significance. Art is often our response to the ephemerality of life. Every brushstroke, every sculpture, every creation becomes a testament to a moment felt deeply, a memory immortalized. But while we artists are often engrossed in capturing life's essence, it is equally crucial for us to step back and relish life outside the canvas.

Our creations might last centuries, but our experiences are bound by the confines of time. By embracing Plutarch's wisdom, we are reminded not just to be chroniclers of life, but active participants, savoring every emotion, every sensation, every shared laugh, and every tear. Because in celebrating life, we find the richest inspirations for our art.
