Raw #8 Cotton 18 oz Unprimed

Super heavy weight unprimed canvas. Take control of your art, prepare your own ground, or use bare canvas expanses as part of the art. Great for staining or pouring, resulting in a fluid and spontaneous convergence of the image and fabric.

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

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. 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.

10x12 Monet Pro Keyable Fame

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Precision machined heavy duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
• No cross braces required when the frame length is under 20", but this frame provides robust support for this 10x12 size
• To increase canvas tension, remove any staples in the corners, then tap-in the included corner keys further into their slots, then re-staple the canvas

Selective Harvesting in our Sustainable Forests

Intelligent selective harvesting of timber is an ecological method to replace the natural occurrences of forest fires and disease and landslides that can devastate forests. This is all part of the process of sustainable forest management to which we subscribe when we choose which lumber we use in our products.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

A renowned writer and philosopher of his time, Elbert Hubbard was no stranger to the juxtaposition of ambition and apprehension. In the face of adversity and uncertainty, he recognized that the drive to succeed had to be robust, resilient, and greater than any looming dread. His words serve as a beacon for many, especially artists, who face the daunting task of creating and sharing their work with the world.

The process of creation is often fraught with self-doubt. Whether it's a blank canvas, an empty stage, or a silent studio, the initial steps can be paralyzing. Yet, it's that very hunger for accomplishment and the vision of the finished masterpiece that propels us forward. Hubbard's wisdom reminds us that our passion for our work, our unyielding need to express, should always eclipse the trepidation of critique or misunderstanding.

The beauty of art lies not only in the final piece but in the courage and tenacity of the artist who dares to bring it to life. By embracing our desire and using it as fuel, we find the strength to overcome our fears and thrive in our chosen path.
