9x18 is one of the rare sizes in our Lost Size collection, exclusive to Masterpiece®! This unique series is designed with the popular 2:1 Domino proportion in mind, and we take pride in providing artists with exciting size options for their compositions.

 

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 9x18 Size

An intriguing Domino size!

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

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.

  • Strainer Bars are used when the short side is under 10" inches
  • Fixed Corner Frame - Not keyable or expandable
  • No cross braces required when the frame length is under 20", but this frame provides very robust and solid support for this 9x18 size frame
 

What is Sustainable Forestry?

To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource.

Everyone has talent at twenty-five. The difficulty is to have it at fifty. ♦ Edgar Degas

The celebrated painter and sculptor Edgar Degas, known for his exquisite ballet scenes and portraits, presents an intriguing observation about the evolution of talent. In youth, energy, passion, and raw potential often manifest as talent. The world seems filled with infinite possibilities, and many of us brim with ideas and ambition. But as time progresses, sustaining that same level of enthusiasm and skill can become challenging.

Why is it that age sometimes dims the vibrancy of talent? Perhaps it's the distractions and responsibilities that come with maturity, or maybe it's the challenges that test our perseverance. But Degas suggests a deeper truth: that talent isn't merely about innate ability but also about resilience, adaptation, and the continual refinement of our craft. For artists, it's not merely about capturing lightning in a bottle once but about consistently channeling that creative storm throughout our lives. The true testament to our artistic prowess lies not in our first masterpiece but in our capacity to keep producing work that speaks to our evolving selves and resonates with a changing world.


Creativity, the silent force beckoning you, finds its voice here. Harmonize your artistic process with these indelible words and meaning by Edgar Degas, and with our unique portrayal of a self portrait to inspire an enhanced melody in your art. Go make your music on canvas!
