Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

Our primer is made with the highest-quality Titanium Dioxide white pigment, which is an excellent pigment for acrylic primed grounds, providing superior whiteness and maintaining excellent flexibility over time. Unlike some other common pigments, such as zinc dioxide, TiO₂ doesn't become brittle as it ages, helping to ensure that your painting will stand the test of time.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You 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.

What I am after is the truth in its natural setting, and no moreÑrendered with all the clarity and all the vigor and simplicity I can give it. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's artistic pursuit was deeply anchored in seeking authenticity, untouched by external influences. A life characterized by restless exploration and a relentless quest for raw, unadulterated truth, Gauguin ventured beyond Europe's familiar confines, settling in places like Tahiti. It was there that he sought the unblemished essence of life and aimed to capture it with the purity he mentions.

His words resonate with artists navigating their paths today. In an age overflowing with information and sensory overload, striving for clarity and simplicity becomes a radical act. Like Gauguin, we often seek to distill the essence of our subjects, stripping away the superficial to unveil the core truth. His aspiration for vigor is not just about physical robustness; it's an emotional and spiritual strength, a vibrant force that compels us to confront and convey reality with unwavering honesty.

This dedication to truth and simplicity is a beacon for us all. Gauguin's approach prompts us to look beyond the chaos, find genuine narratives, and present them with utmost sincerity and passion. In doing so, we honor both our subjects and ourselves, ensuring that our creations stand as timeless testaments to the truths we've discovered and the artistic journeys we've undertaken.
