One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a name synonymous with artistic genius, graced the world with this profound insight. Born in Vinci, Italy, in 1452, da Vinci's life was a testament to his unrelenting pursuit of mastery across multiple domains, from art to science and beyond.

When da Vinci emphasized the importance of self-mastery, he was speaking from a place of deep introspection and self-discovery. His insatiable curiosity and boundless creativity were matched only by his relentless self-discipline. In an era when many artists were content to conform to convention, da Vinci dared to defy boundaries, blending art and science, observation and imagination.

We find in da Vinci's words both a challenge and an inspiration. Mastery of our craft is not merely about technical prowess; it's about understanding ourselves, our motivations, and our unique perspectives. Through da Vinci's lens, we can see that true mastery is a process of self-discovery and self-improvement, an ever-evolving process that enriches not only our art but also our lives.

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.
