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

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and 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.

Guided by our mission to provide unparalleled quality, Masterpiece® stands as the nation's prime influencer in the domain of professional fine-art canvases. Dive into our diverse collection of surfaces and roll sizes tailored for every artist's unique requirements.
