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.

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
Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars
Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.
We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.
The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
♦ Henry Ward Beecher
A renowned American clergyman and social reformer, Henry Ward Beecher often employed metaphors in his teachings to drive home profound truths. This particular observation speaks volumes about the indomitable spirit of creativity and the critical role imagination plays in perceiving the vast expanse of possibilities beyond the ordinary.
Just as an observatory's true potential is realized through the lens of a telescope, which magnifies distant galaxies and nebulous wonders, the soul too reaches its full vibrancy when fueled by imagination. Artists, in this context, are akin to astronomers, peering into the depths of human emotion, experience, and potential, bringing to light what often remains unseen. It is through our art that we magnify the subtleties of life, allowing the world to witness the beauty, the anguish, and the myriad hues of existence.
Creativity, the silent force beckoning you, finds its voice here. Harmonize your artistic process with these indelible words and meaning by Henry Ward Beecher, and with our unique portrayal of a self portrait to inspire an enhanced melody in your art. Go make your music on canvas!
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.
