Vincent™ Pro 7/8" Deep Bar • 5/16" Canvas Clearance

5/16" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• Produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
• 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Every good painter paints what he is. ♦ Rembrandt van Rijn

Rembrandt van Rijn, a titan of the art world, was not just revered for his mastery over technique but also for his profound ability to infuse his work with his essence. The Dutch artist, renowned for his portraits and self-portraits, often captured not just the visage but the very soul of his subjects. The sentiment expressed in his quote is a testament to this, underlining the profound connection between an artist's identity and their creations.

Our works are not just depictions or representations, they are extensions of our beings, reflections of our perspectives, experiences, and emotions. They are manifestations of our internal dialogues, our fears, our hopes, our dreams. And just as Rembrandt's works gave the world glimpses into his soul, our works offer insights into ours. By sharing these deeply personal parts of us, we not only engage in a dialogue with our audience but also navigate the complexities of our own identities.

Journey with us as we blend the wisdom and our own artistic representation of Rembrandt van Rijn. May this alliance empower your artistic soul. Begin your masterpiece!

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) 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.
