10x15 Vincent Pro Tahoe Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VT-1015

True 3:2 Film Proportion - 10x15 Size

The 3:2 aspect ratio is a very familiar format film, computer screens, and video, and, of course, is an aesthetically appealing proportion for your artistic compositions. Most 35 mm film cameras are based on this exact proportion, so our brains are trained to see images in this same ratio. It is commonly used for landscape photography and artwork, as it allows for a wide, panoramic view of the scene. It can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony in the composition, providing depth and perspective, as the longer sides of the canvas allow for more space to depict the background or foreground elements of the scene.

Even though this proportion is widely used, there are only a handful of commonly available standard canvas sizes in this ratio. There are a whole collection of intriguing (what we call) Lost Sizes, which are uncommon sizes in this common proportion. Unusual canvas sizes add intrigue to your artwork and an additional story to tell about your painting.

Explore other sizes in this same 3:2 aspect ratio:

4x6 • 6x9 • 8x12 • 12x18 • 14x21 • 16x24 • 18x27 • 20x30 • 22x33 • 24x36 • 26x39 • 28x42 • 30x45 • 32x48

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.

Vincent™ Pro 7/8" Deep Bar • 5/16" Canvas Clearance

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.

• Produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
• 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. 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.

Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body. ♦ Wassily Kandinsky

The visionary Russian painter and theorist, Wassily Kandinsky existed at a unique intersection of art and spirituality. He believed that art wasn't merely an imitation of the external world but was capable of invoking profound internal reactions. With his avant-garde leanings and pioneering approach towards abstraction, Kandinsky deeply understood the symbiotic relationship between color and emotion.

The intimate bond with color is undeniable. We've all felt the stirrings of an emotion when faced with a particular shade or hue, be it the serene blues that invoke calmness or fiery reds that ignite passion. The canvas, in this respect, becomes a platform where color becomes a medium of communication, often speaking louder than form or composition. This profound impact of color is not just limited to its aesthetic appeal; it has the power to evoke memories, shape perceptions, and even influence decisions. We wield these colors, aiming to transcend the visual and touch the very soul of those who engage with our work.

Kandinsky's insight serves as a potent reminder of the depth and dimension color brings to our art. It's not merely a tool or a component; it's a living entity with its own voice and spirit. Through the expert application and understanding of color, we can venture beyond the tangible and explore realms still unknown, creating experiences that are both visceral and ethereal.
