4x6 Vincent Pro Mono Lake Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VML-0406

True 3:2 Film Proportion - 4x6 Size

The 3:2 aspect ratio is a very familiar format film, computer screens, and video, and, of course, is an aesthetically appealing proportion for your artistic compositions. Most 35 mm film cameras are based on this exact proportion, so our brains are trained to see images in this same ratio. It is commonly used for landscape photography and artwork, as it allows for a wide, panoramic view of the scene. It can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in the composition, providing depth and perspective, as the longer sides of the canvas allow for more space to depict the background or foreground elements of the scene.

Even though this proportion is widely used, there are only a handful of commonly available standard canvas sizes in this ratio. There are a whole collection of intriguing (what we call) Lost Sizes, which are uncommon sizes in this common proportion. Unusual canvas sizes add intrigue to your artwork and an additional story to tell about your painting.

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

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 make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Melody is the essence of music. ♦ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

A name synonymous with musical genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. He was a prolific composer and child prodigy who composed his first symphony at the tender age of eight. Mozart's quote beautifully encapsulates his profound understanding of music's core.

Throughout his life, Mozart crafted melodies that continue to enthrall and inspire us today. His compositions are a testament to his innate ability to create captivating and timeless melodies that stir the depths of the human soul. From his operatic arias to his symphonies, his music is a testament to the power of melody to convey emotions and stories.

We can draw artistic inspiration from Mozart's genius. In our own pursuits, whether through paint, sculpture, or any other medium, we seek to distill the essence of our artistic expressions. Just as Mozart masterfully crafted melodies that harmonized with the human experience, we, too, strive to create art that speaks to the core of our shared humanity, touching the hearts and souls of those who encounter our creations.
