Raw Torrey Pines™ Belgian Linen 9.6 oz Unprimed

Heavy-weight dense-weave raw unprimed Belgian Linen. Take control of your art by preparing your own ground on Belgian Linen canvas. Use bare expanses of canvas as part of the painting or simply create the ground exactly ask you like.

  • 100% Belgian Linen 9.6 oz. per square yard
  • Heavy Weight, Tight Weave, Medium Texture
  • Raw fabric blocks 94% of the light, which indicates how tight is the weave
  • Warp and Weft: 40x36 yarns per square inch
  • Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.
 

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
 

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.

 

21x27 Monet Pro Frame Kit Extra Heavy Frame Provides Superior Support

  • Photo displays the exact frame construction, not the proportion
  • Precision machined heavy duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
  • Two super strong 3/4" thick keyable cross braces (3.25" wide) provide the maximum possible support for this 21x27 frame - Cross Braces may be removed and reinserted at any time
  • An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of all of the Stretcher Bars to which the Braces and the expansion wedges attach
  • Patented keyable cross braces allow the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
  • Cross braces firmly attached with hardware at the intersection point for maximum support and rigidity
  • 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" of an inch, 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.

 

Sustainably Managed Forests Inhale and Exhale

The world's forests are essential to human survival. Forests inhale carbon dioxide for the earth, and exhale oxygen essential for life. When we speak of the sustainable forest strategy of ensuring that more timber will exist in the same forest land than exists today, this is the only viable plan for the future of humanity. For this reason, we use only lumber from the sustainable forests of Oregon, Washington, and California, where thereÕs more standing timber today than last century!

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

Our wood is handpicked from a curated group of environmentally responsible lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. By adhering to our precise drying and heat-treatment standards, these mills produce lumber with nearly half the moisture you'd find in common home improvement outlets or lumber yards. This meticulous process not only enhances the wood's strength—minimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bends—but also elevates its dimensional stability. Such quality, despite its premium, is paramount in creating professional canvases designed to uphold the sanctity of your cherished art throughout the years.

  • Usually the corner folds are on the long sides
 

We've pioneered and set trends, always putting quality at the forefront of everything we do. Our patents are a testament to our continuous quest for excellence. Engage with our products, and you'll not only see but feel the premium difference — a difference that your audience and patrons will undoubtedly recognize and value.

 

A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. ♦ Mark Twain

The celebrated humorist and chronicler of American life, Mark Twain had an astute grasp of human nature. Through his writings, he often illuminated the intricacies of the human condition, sometimes with a touch of humor, sometimes with biting satire. This particular insight speaks volumes about the value of knowledge and the willful ignorance some might choose.

Reading is not merely a skill; it's a gateway. It opens doors to new worlds, ideas, and experiences. It enriches our minds and broadens our horizons. But possessing the ability to read and choosing not to is akin to having wings and refusing to fly. Artists understand this sentiment deeply. We draw inspiration from the world around us, from stories, from history, from the musings of great minds. When we shut ourselves off from these resources, we limit our own potential.

Twain's observation serves as a poignant reminder of the gift of knowledge and the tragedy of neglecting it. In our pursuit of artistic excellence, embracing every opportunity to learn and grow is paramount. For, in the end, it's not just about the talent we possess but how we nurture and apply it.


To enhance your creative exploration of our site, we offer the insightful wisdom of Mark Twain, our interpretation, and little one-of-a-kind portrait that we created. Now go paint!
