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
Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars
Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.
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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.
The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

One resolves to be a painter; once one is, one paints—after having, naturally, tested all the techniques.
♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin's life was characterized by an innate restlessness, a continuous quest for meaning, and an unyielding commitment to his artistic vision. This sentiment encapsulates the essence of Gauguin's artistic evolution and serves as a reminder of the journey that every artist must undertake. The determination to be a painter, the unwavering belief in oneself, is only the beginning.
For many artists, the path to mastery is paved with countless hours of experimentation and self-discovery. We explore various mediums, dabble in different styles, and immerse ourselves in a myriad of techniques. This process is not simply about acquiring skills but is more profoundly about understanding our own unique voice and how best to express it. Gauguin himself transitioned from being a stockbroker to becoming one of the most influential Post-Impressionist painters. His art evolved, influenced by his travels, experiences, and incessant exploration of various artistic traditions and methods.
We recognize that the pursuit of art is as much about introspection as it is about external expression. The canvas becomes a reflection of our inner world, shaped by the techniques we've learned and the experiences we've lived. Gauguin's words serve as an affirmation: to first commit to the calling, to immerse oneself in the vast ocean of artistic possibilities, and then, with newfound wisdom, to paint with authenticity and passion.
Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Paul Gauguin twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
