Oil paint on an oil primed canvas improves your results
Using an oil prepared canvas for oil painting can produce superior results because the paint and ground are organically similar and create an ideal "chemical bond" where the paint sinks into the ground resulting in a smoother and more even finish. The resulting bond between the paint and canvas is stronger, making the artwork more durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the melding of the two oil-based materials creates an effect called luminosity, where the colors appear to glow from within, and thereby enhances the vibrancy and brightness of the colors, impacting the way light reflects off the colors.
Flash an Oil Prepared Canvas with Mineral Spirits
While it is not required, for best results, lightly wipe or flash the oil prepared canvas with mineral spirits before painting to make sure that your surface is completely clean of any dust or contaminants before painting.
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.

♦ Albrecht Dürer
The Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer stands as a luminary figure in the annals of art history, renowned for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer's artistic prowess was not just confined to painting; he was a master printmaker and theorist. The sentiment expressed in the quote underscores the importance Dürer placed on diligence, discipline, and the transformative power of art.
Many artists find in their craft an escape, a purpose, and a way to channel their energy constructively. Diving into the creative process not only provides solace but acts as a catalyst that shields us from the pitfalls of idleness. It's not just about avoiding negativity; it's about embracing the passion that gives our lives meaning, pushing us forward and constantly reminding us of the beauty that exists when we immerse ourselves in our art.
We've handpicked this quote and our interpretation of it's meaning to inspire your art. And we honor the legacy of Albrecht Dürer by creating this one-of-a-kind portrait to tie it all together. Start Painting!
