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.

5/16" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

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.

There is no such thing as exaggerated art. All nature is exaggerated. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's years in Tahiti shaped much of his art career, offering him a unique viewpoint on the relationship between nature and artistic expression. Tahiti, with its vibrant colors, bold landscapes, and passionate culture, served as the backdrop against which Gauguin defined his understanding of art's role. He saw, firsthand, the majestic exaggerations of nature Ð the vivid sunsets, the lush forests, and the expressive faces of the Tahitian people.

It's easy to feel bound by conventions or to seek a kind of realistic representation. But Gauguin's insight urges us to embrace the grandeur of our surroundings. Just as nature doesn't hold back in showcasing its glory, neither should we in expressing our vision. When we paint, sculpt, or create, we are not just mirroring reality; we are amplifying it, adding our voice to the symphony of existence. And in that amplification, in that 'exaggeration', lies the true essence of artistic authenticity.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
