Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

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.

Professionally Stretched Shaped Canvas Drum Tight

Masterpiece® Monet Pro shaped canvases are stretched drum-tight and stapled on the back, making it possible for you to remove the canvas from the frame, should you ever need to do that. Our product is unique in the marketplace and offers a superior method of stretching that allows you to remove and restretch the canvas onto this or another similarly shaped frame without losing part of your painting. We provide enough canvas selvage to make it possible to restretch, should it ever be necessary.

1/8" Canvas Clearance

The canvas is 3/4" deep and has a minimum of 1/8" clearance between the canvas and the frame to help prevent the ghosting that occurs when applying pressure to the canvas and it touches the frame. Adequate clearance between the canvas and the frame is essential to prevent the tracing of the inside perimeter of the frame on your painting. This is a unique Masterpiece® feature for a shaped canvas.

We, at Masterpiece®, are creative engineers and craftsmen, artists at heart and in-practice, leading the nation in quality and innovation in the world of fine-art canvases. Our patented products and processes ensure an edge in performance, guaranteeing a canvas experience that's a class above the rest. Feel the finesse, see the difference, and let your artwork express your creative vision; while we provide you with a canvas of which you can be as equally proud.

There is no remedy for love but to love more. ♦ Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, the celebrated American essayist, poet, and philosopher, provides a profound insight into the essence of love with this passionate statement. Although not a visual artist, Thoreau's philosophies and writings resonate deeply with the artistic spirit.

Thoreau's love for the natural world was palpable, and he spent years immersed in the beauty of the wilderness, reflecting the way artists immerse themselves in their craft, seeking to capture the essence of the world around them. When he speaks of the remedy for love being to love more, Thoreau invites us, as artists, to reflect on our passions and creative pursuits. He reminds us that just as love grows stronger when nurtured, so does our artistry. Our unwavering devotion and the love we pour into our craft are the paths to artistic excellence.
