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.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. ♦ Cicero

Cicero, one of the most eloquent orators and philosophers of ancient Rome, understood the profound impact of human relationships. Living during a tumultuous period in Roman history, he witnessed political upheavals, personal betrayals, and the ever-present intrigue of the Roman court. Amidst this backdrop, he discovered and wrote about the healing power of genuine friendships, recognizing their ability to amplify our joys and cushion our sorrows.

This insight resonates deeply. The path we tread is often filled with highs of recognition and lows of doubt. It's in these moments that friendships, be they with fellow artists or others, become our anchor. Sharing our successes, celebrating milestones, or simply seeking solace in moments of uncertainty, friends help us navigate the unpredictable seas of our art career. Their presence acts as a buffer, shielding us from the harshest blows and elevating our most cherished moments. As Cicero so aptly put it, with friends by our side, we're better equipped to face the myriad emotions that define our lives and our work.
