10x24 Monet Pro Raw No 12 Canvas 1-1/2" Deep #MR-1024

True 12:5 Extended Domino Proportion - 10x24 Size

This 10x24 is a unique Masterpiece size and 12:5 Extended Domino aspect ratio.

This wide and expansive format is perfect for compositions with a strong horizontal flow. Its elongated shape encourages the eye to move across the canvas, making it ideal for landscapes, panoramic scenes, or compositions where you want to emphasize movement or space. It creates a sense of openness without overwhelming the viewer. It allows for more complex or extended narratives within a single frame while maintaining balance and proportion.

The vertical dimension is still significant enough to avoid feeling overly compressed, giving artists the opportunity to play with both horizontal and vertical elements in a broad yet contained space. It works especially well when you want to stretch a scene or subject providing room for exploration while still keeping the composition grounded. It invites expansive storytelling or sweeping visuals, all within a sleek, visually striking format.

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 canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Frames with a dimension of 20" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross braces attach
• 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.

10x24 Monet Pro Keyable Braced Frame

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Precision machined heavy duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
• A 3/4" thick keyable brace (1.5" wide) provides sturdy support for this 10x24 size frame - Brace may be removed in reinserted at any time
• An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of the 24 Stretcher Bars to which the Brace and the expansion wedges attach
• Patented keyable brace allows the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
• To increase canvas tension: 1) remove any staples in the corners and those that retain the brace keys in the middle, 2) tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, 3) tighten and re-staple the canvas in the corners

Canvas Tension is in Your Control

In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.

Our Monet™ Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8", so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.

• Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
• Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
• True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

Cross Braces Make it Tighter

A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.

When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

Forests need People, and People Need Forests

The concept of sustainability presupposes a comprehensive engagement of individuals in the art and science of forest stewardship, both in the present and for the well-being of generations to come. Humanity undoubtedly extracts wood from forests to supplement our needs, but they also play a crucial role in bestowing diligent care upon these ecosystems. This stewardship encompasses not only the responsible harvesting of forest resources but also extends to the safeguarding of clean water sources, the preservation of wildlife and their native habitats, and the mitigation of potential threats like erosion, fires, and diseases that could otherwise lead to untimely degradation of these precious woodlands.

Masterpiece® uses only lumber harvested from responsibly and sustainably managed timberlands.

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured. ♦ Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne, often labeled as the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism, had an unconventional take on the world of art. He believed in the inseparability of drawing and color, asserting that everything in nature comes with its own hue, its own shade. To Cézanne, the world wasn't merely an assortment of lines and shapes, but a spectrum of colors waiting to be captured.

His perspective urges us to see beyond the traditional boundaries of art forms. As artists, when we approach our canvas, we don't just sketch lines; we sketch emotions, feelings, and life itself, all of which are intricately colored. The true essence of art, as Cézanne points out, is in capturing the vibrant interplay of line and color, shape and shade, form and hue. By embracing this union, we can bring our artworks to life, reflecting the vibrant, colored tapestry that is the world around us.
