10x15 Monet Pro Vintage L22U Canvas 1-1/2" Deep #MU-1015

True 3:2 Film Proportion - 10x15 Size

The 3:2 aspect ratio is a very familiar format film, computer screens, and video, and, of course, is an aesthetically appealing proportion for your artistic compositions. Most 35 mm film cameras are based on this exact proportion, so our brains are trained to see images in this same ratio. It is commonly used for landscape photography and artwork, as it allows for a wide, panoramic view of the scene. It can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in the composition, providing depth and perspective, as the longer sides of the canvas allow for more space to depict the background or foreground elements of the scene.

Even though this proportion is widely used, there are only a handful of commonly available standard canvas sizes in this ratio. There are a whole collection of intriguing (what we call) Lost Sizes, which are uncommon sizes in this common proportion. Unusual canvas sizes add intrigue to your artwork and an additional story to tell about your painting.

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.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. ♦ Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran, with his lyrical and evocative style, paints a vivid image of nature's artistry. In likening trees to poems, he captures the essence of their silent eloquence — their ability to communicate stories, emotions, and histories without uttering a single word. It's an intimate portrayal of the earth's creative expression, a testament to its timeless dance with the vast expanse above.

Just as trees stand as nature's testament to resilience, growth, and beauty, our paintings serve as markers of our emotions, experiences, and aspirations. The art we birth becomes our poems, etched not on the sky but on the canvas of the world. It is a reminder to us that, just as the earth effortlessly scripts beauty across the heavens, we too have the potential to weave magic with our vision and craft. By observing and learning from the world around us, we can find endless inspiration and, in turn, contribute to the ever-evolving tapestry of artistic expression.

Embrace the synergy of this profound quote with our interpretation of it's meaning with a nice little portrait that we created of Kahlil Gibran. Time to create!

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
