Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. 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.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

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. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. 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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Coexist with Mankind

We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, where there’s more standing timber today than last century!

Sustainably managed forests increase our health and abundance of our forests which can be in harmony with this precious natural resource.

No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else. ♦ Edouard Manet

Edouard Manet, a beacon of modernism in the art world, was no stranger to controversy. Many remember him for his revolutionary works that challenged the conventions of his time, pushing boundaries and shattering expectations. Behind these audacious creations was not just talent, but a burning passion—an undying love for the art of painting.

It's a sentiment that many artists can resonate with. Art isn't just a skill or a hobby; it's a calling, a vocation that demands everything from us. As artists, we know all too well the late nights, the countless revisions, the moments of self-doubt. But through it all, it's our profound love for the craft that propels us forward. It's the kind of love that asks for sacrifice, the kind that's both a source of joy and a relentless taskmaster. Because to create, to truly bring something to life on canvas, requires an unwavering commitment.

So when Manet declares the importance of prioritizing painting above all else, it's not just an elitist statement; it's a universal truth. Whether it's painting, sculpting, writing, or any other form of artistry, the path to mastery is paved with passion. And for those of us who've heeded the call, we understand: it's not about choosing art—it's about being chosen by it.
