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.

Artfix Pau™ Portrait Smooth Belgian Linen offers a luxurious surface, ideal for highly detailed work. Preferred by portrait artists because it is so smooth for linen. Due to the nature of how flax plants are turned into linen textiles, there may be variations in yarn thickness thereby creating fabric that is individual in nature and has character. There can be infrequent naturally occurring nubs in the linen which may yield small slight bumps where the linen is a little thicker than the rest of the strand. This is normal and part of what gives linen its character.

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

To speak or to keep silent? Both are the same! The word is not the substitute for the act! ♦ Francisco de Goya

Francisco de Goya, a pivotal figure in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, often intertwined the worlds of political upheaval and personal anguish within his art. He bore witness to societal shifts, war, and political turmoil, which profoundly influenced his approach to art and expression. It was this tumultuous backdrop that likely gave rise to his belief in the importance of action over mere words.

This sentiment is particularly poignant. How many times have we, as creators, been caught between expressing ourselves verbally or letting our artworks convey our deepest emotions? Goya suggests that words, even in their most profound and eloquent forms, are not enough. The act—the process of creation, the manifestation of thought into tangible form—holds a weight words can't replicate.

It prompts us to reflect on our art careers, on those moments where we may have felt stifled or unheard. Instead of getting lost in debates or drowning in words, perhaps our energies are best channeled into the act of creation. As Goya so elegantly encapsulated, it is through action that we truly voice our perspectives, making an indelible impact that words alone cannot achieve.
