18 Inch Panel Porter Pair with Hardware P2-18
Paint and Carry Any Size You Like!
Panel Porter™ is a simple, versatile, and economical wet panel carrier that provides the most secure transport of your precious artwork available on the market. Insert your wet painted panels face-to-face in a wooden frame designed with metal pins that lock each corner. Air holes allow your painting to breathe while you transport your artwork.
One of the celebrated features of this product is they liberate artists to paint any size panels they want. Since Panel Porter™ are sold in sizes "every inch," you can paint any size panel you want and still can safely transport your artwork. You are not limited to only a handful of standard sizes that are commonly available.
For example, combine this 18" size with an additional 18" Porter™, and you can paint and carry two 18x18 Canvas Panels. Or combine this 18 size with 12"" size and you can paint and port an 12x18, which happens to be a 3:2 Film 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.
With a small collection of Porter™ sizes, you can mix-and-match to create a variety of canvas panel carriers making it easy for you to paint and carry sizes that you have never before tried. Masterpiece® has 75 standard canvas panel sizes, including proportions like the Golden Mean, Squares, HDTV, Root Rectangles, Fibonacci sizes, and many more!
Securely Transport Two Wet Canvas Panels of Any Size!
Your artwork should dictate the size of your carrier, not the other way around!
Creativity Has No Limits! Paint and Carry any size panel you like!
Panel Porter™ Profile View
Making your artwork as secure as possible is one of the key features and benefits of our unique wet panel carrier. Panel Porter™ transports two 1/8" thick wet panels, face to face. If you only paint one panel, then insert a dry panel in the other slot. The panels are spaced 1/2" apart, thereby providing adequate distance between the two paintings.
The inside groove of Panel Porter™ is tapered, which consequently barely touches the panel only at the extreme outside edge of the panel and thereby does not harm your artwork.
Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art.
♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin's life was a canvas of constant evolution, characterized by his relentless pursuit of authenticity in his art. With such a statement, he underscores a crucial distinction: the art one creates is not a mere reflection of ego or a quest for external validation, but a profound expression of one's innermost self.
These words are a gentle reminder to remain grounded and true to the essence of creativity. It's easy to be swayed by the allure of recognition and applause. But true artistic fulfillment emerges when we tap into the genuine passion and talent within, giving it form and life on canvas or any other medium. As we navigate our art careers, it's this intrinsic love for the craft that will guide and sustain us, rather than the fleeting adulation of the masses.
Creativity is the reason you have landed on this page. Enjoy our own portrait rendition of Paul Gauguin and the spoken words and meaning we provide. Now..go paint!
