10x14 Vincent Pro Pau Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VP-1014

True 7:5 Photography Proportion - 10x14 Size

For an uncommon size, artists do tend to appreciate and use this intriguing 10x14 size. It's also considered to be a Dynamic Root-2 Rectangle size.

Another widely used proportion in photography is the 7:5 aspect ratio, but is relatively uncommon in art, save for the 5x7 size. It is commonly accepted as a pleasing proportion. Some artists choose this proportion to add visual interest by breaking away from more traditional shaped canvas sizes. There are only a handful of standard canvas sizes in this ratio, but there are a whole collection of (what we call) Lost Sizes in this aspect ratio, which are often unknown sizes that add intrigue to the final composition.

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.

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.

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. ♦ Albert Einstein

A name synonymous with genius, Albert Einstein was not only a groundbreaking physicist but also a source of wisdom on the intricacies of the human experience. Beyond the world of relativity and quantum mechanics, he offered perspectives that apply profoundly to artistic endeavors. A curious mind, Einstein was no stranger to setbacks. His struggles in the academic world before his groundbreaking papers and the skepticism he faced from the scientific community are a testament to his perseverance.

Innovation often means venturing into the unknown, exploring uncharted territories, and pushing boundaries. In doing so, the probability of making a mistake or facing a setback is not only likely but inevitable. Yet, these very mistakes, these 'failures,' are the stepping stones to mastering a technique, understanding a medium, or expressing a vision. It's in these trials and errors that we find growth and evolution in our craft. When faced with challenges, we should remember Einstein's own path, where every experiment, every equation, and every hypothesis brought him closer to understanding the universe. Likewise, each brushstroke, sketch, or concept, whether successful or not, guides us closer to our artistic truths.
