Raw #10 Cotton 14.5 oz Unprimed

Very heavy weight unprimed cotton 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.

• 100% Cotton 14.5 oz. per square yard
• Very Heavy Weight, Dense Weave, Robust Texture

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.

11x17 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 11x17 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.

MuseumWrap™ Stretching Technique

With more than a half a century of American engineering, Masterpiece® designs and builds its own proprietary stretching equipment that enables us to produce the finest and most tightly-stretched canvas on the market.

• Drum-tight stretch!
• Up to 50% tighter than other methods
• Balanced tension across the surface
• Uncut folded corners make it possible to remove and re-stretch canvas on the same size frame
• Usually the corner folds are on the long sides

A canvas is one of the very few products you can buy, and with your precious time, talent, and materials transform it into a work of art that could one day be worth a fortune. Don't skimp on your material choices! Your legacy and your own brand will be judged by how well your artwork stands the test of time.

For the real safeguard of democracy is education. ♦ Plutarch

Plutarch, the ancient historian and biographer, often delved deep into the nature of leadership, politics, and the societal constructs of his time. This statement stands as a beacon of wisdom, emphasizing the critical role education plays in sustaining a democracy. While Plutarch lived in a world vastly different from ours, his insights remain relevant to this day, transcending eras and civilizations.

This proclamation underscores the importance of continually seeking knowledge, not just in honing our craft but also in understanding the world around us. When we are well-informed, we can better reflect the complexities of society through our art. Moreover, our work then becomes not just a mirror of our personal experiences, but also a lens through which viewers can engage with broader societal narratives.

Every artwork we produce is a testament to our perspectives, our values, and the collective wisdom we've amassed. As we absorb more knowledge and expose ourselves to diverse ideas, we infuse our creations with greater depth and nuance. In doing so, we not only elevate the caliber of our work but also contribute meaningfully to the rich tapestry of cultural discourse, championing the very democratic ideals that Plutarch so eloquently espoused.

Art is visual and ripe with meaning, so enjoy this quote and our interpretation of its meaning, plus an one-of-a-kind portrait we created of Plutarch to make it all the more relevant. Pick up that brush and go!
