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.

For over half a century, Masterpiece® has been synonymous with top-tier artist canvases in North America. A canvas isn't just fabric; it's an invitation to create, to turn raw talent into timeless art. Choose wisely, for your art's endurance reflects your legacy and brand distinction.

I wish they would only take me as I am. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

The enigmatic Post-Impressionist painter, Vincent Van Gogh lived a life characterized by a quest for understanding and acceptance. His intricate swirls of color, bold brushstrokes, and emotive landscapes reveal a soul yearning for connection, both to the world around him and to the people who encountered his work.

For many artists, the canvas becomes an extension of oneself. It's not just a medium to create art but a confessional space where emotions, thoughts, and vulnerabilities are laid bare. Van Gogh's poignant statement resonates with the universal human desire to be seen and understood without pretenses. In the world of art, this takes on even greater depth. As artists, we pour our essence into every piece, hoping that it speaks to someone, that it finds a resonance. Van Gogh's plea can be seen as a reflection of this sentiment, a hope that his work Ð and by extension, he himself Ð would be accepted without the need for adaptation or compromise.

In our art careers, while we navigate critiques and the ever-shifting tastes of the public, it's essential to remember the integrity and authenticity of our vision. Van Gogh's words serve as a reminder that the most profound connections are made when we remain true to ourselves, even in the face of misunderstanding or indifference.
