8x10 Vincent Pro Mono Lake Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VML-0810

True 5:4 Photography Proportion - 8x10 Size

And 8x10, of course, is one of the most popular sizes ever in both photography and art!

The 5:4 aspect ratio is common to both art and portrait photography, as it creates a visually pleasing format for the human figure and face. The balanced compositional format can help to create a sense of symmetry and harmony in your artwork. The 5:4 ratio has a familiar "feel", as it was commonly used in early computer monitors. Additionally, you might consider trying some relatively unknown sizes in this same proportion that we call Lost Sizes As an artist, you get the best of both worlds, because you still get to use the same aesthetically appealing 5:4 format and use rare or novel sizes that help make your art stand-out.

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

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.

Sustainable Forests Ensure More Wood for Communities

Using lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only the responsible thing to do, it's also a way to ensure that the wood products we rely on continue to be available in the future. By supporting sustainable forestry practices, we can help to ensure a steady supply of wood products while also protecting the environment and supporting local communities.

Truth always follows the flash of intuition. ♦ Robert Delaunay

Delving into the psyche of Robert Delaunay, one cannot help but be captivated by his intrinsic understanding of the interplay between intuition and truth. He believed that in the fleeting moments of instinctual insight, there lies a profound truth waiting to be unearthed. For artists, this realization is especially poignant. Our intuitions, those inexplicable urges and instincts, often guide our hands even before our conscious mind can catch up.

And so, as Delaunay suggests, the revelations we come upon during our creative process often stem from these instinctual flashes. These moments, unbridled and uninhibited, lead us to an artistic truth that might have remained obscured otherwise. We, artists, continually walk this tightrope, balancing between the rawness of intuition and the clarity of truth, realizing that one often ushers in the other. In embracing our intuitive sparks, we unlock a deeper, more genuine representation of the world and ourselves.
