The new painters do not seek to provide art but to show off how many different things they know. ♦ Albrecht Dürer

A Northern Renaissance master, Albrecht Dürer is celebrated not just for his groundbreaking contributions to printmaking and painting but also for his musings on the nature and purpose of art. Born in Nuremberg, his career was characterized by an insatiable curiosity, evident in his meticulous studies of nature, human anatomy, and geometric principles.

Yet, with this quote, Dürer highlights a concern that feels timeless: the tension between pure artistic expression and the pursuit of novelty or display of skill. Artists have always navigated a fine line between staying true to their vision and adapting to the changing tastes and expectations of their era. In Dürer's time, as in ours, there was a push and pull between tradition and innovation. While it's essential for us to evolve and incorporate new techniques or ideas into our work, Dürer's words serve as a gentle reminder to always prioritize the heart and soul of our creations over mere showmanship or trend-chasing.

We offer you these words of wisdom and our take on the message in hope to inspire your art. We also pay tribute by creating this unique portrait of Albrecht Dürer. Go paint!

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.
