Vegan Ground:
There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

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.

There is no such thing as exaggeration in art.
♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin, a name synonymous with breaking conventions, was never one to shy away from bold statements or even bolder artistic choices. In the assertion that there's no exaggeration in art, he's emphasizing the boundless nature of artistic freedom. Every stroke of paint, every chiseled line, every note in a song is a manifestation of an artist's vision, and who is to set its limits?
In our careers, we're often advised to tread carefully, to follow rules, or to adhere to what's popular or accepted. Yet, true innovation comes when we push boundaries and let our imaginations roam freely. Gauguin's adventures, both literal and artistic, in places like Tahiti, were characterized by his desire to look beyond the familiar and capture the essence of raw, unadulterated beauty. For us, this serves as a poignant reminder that to be truly groundbreaking, we must sometimes push beyond what's expected and embrace the limitless expanse of our creative visions.
We've handpicked this quote and our interpretation of it's meaning to inspire your art. And we honor the legacy of Paul Gauguin by creating this one-of-a-kind portrait to tie it all together. Start Painting!
