So, for added peace of mind, we recommend placing your order in even quantities. Even if you order only one, we will still do our utmost to protect your valuable canvas during delivery.

If you're looking for a unique size for your next composition, consider the Masterpiece® Lost Size collection, including this 34x34 in the established 1:1 Square aspect ratio. Push the boundaries of your art with our unconventional canvas sizes in familiar proportions.

 

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 34x34 Size

34x34 is one of our Lost or uncommon Square Sizes.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

34x34 Vincent Pro Frame Kit Extra Heavy Frame Provides Maximum Support

  • Photo displays the exact frame construction, not the proportion
  • Precision machined medium duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
  • Two super strong 1/2" thick keyable cross braces (3.25" wide) provide the maximum possible support for this 34x34 frame - Cross Braces may be removed and reinserted at any time
  • An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of all of the Stretcher Bars to which the Braces and the expansion wedges attach
  • Patented keyable cross braces allow the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
  • Cross braces firmly attached with hardware at the intersection point for maximum support and rigidity
  • To increase canvas tension: 1) remove any staples in the corners and those that retain the brace keys in the middle, 2) tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, 3) tighten and re-staple the canvas in the corners

Our Vincent Pro frames are quite robust and provide the maximum possible support for a 7/8" deep profile stretched canvas. This 34x34 size is rather large and is optimally displayed inside a picture frame. If you intend on hanging this canvas without a picture frame, in air-conditioned or dry environments, this product works great.

If your environment is high in humidity, the wood can absorb moisture and grow, and the canvas can shrink, which can cause the canvas to become very tight and put additional stress on the frame. In most cases, this is not a issue, but if you intend on hanging it on the wall without a picture frame, you might consider using a stronger canvas frame when making your selection, like Monet™ Pro 1.5" deep, or 3D™ Pro 2.5" deep, which perform even better for this larger 34x34 size. For your consideration, we provide direct links to these products in the same Torrey Pines™ surface in the section below.

 

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 Stretched Canvas Frame.

  • Stretcher Bar Profile produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
  • 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
  • Frames with a dimension of 16" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross braces attach
  • Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest
 

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.

 

Cross Braces Make it Tighter

A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.

When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

 

What is Sustainable Forestry?

To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource. We can all do our part to care for our national forests.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

Our wood is handpicked from a curated group of environmentally responsible lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. By adhering to our precise drying and heat-treatment standards, these mills produce lumber with nearly half the moisture you'd find in common home improvement outlets or lumber yards. This meticulous process not only enhances the wood's strength—minimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bends—but also elevates its dimensional stability. Such quality, despite its premium, is paramount in creating professional canvases designed to uphold the sanctity of your cherished art throughout the years.

 

Canvas Tension is in Your Control

In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.

Our Vincent Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8" of an inch, so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.

  • Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
  • Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
  • True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

Drawing is not what one sees but what one can make others see. ♦ Edgar Degas

The words of Edgar Degas, a luminary in the world of art, offer an intriguing perspective on the nature of creativity. Degas, renowned for his captivating depictions of dancers, possessed an uncanny ability to transform everyday scenes into masterpieces brimming with emotion. This wasn't just the mere act of reproduction but a distillation of reality, molded by the artist's unique vision.

Every artist knows that the process of creation is not simply about capturing the external world. It's about interpreting, processing, and ultimately, presenting a vision that might otherwise remain unseen. The challenge lies not just in observing the world, but in translating those observations in ways that allow our audience to see through our eyes, to experience our emotions, and to be transported to the worlds we create.

We, wielding our brushes, pencils, or tools of choice, are not just recorders of reality but architects of perception. Our art becomes a bridge between the seen and the unseen, beckoning viewers to step into our world, if only for a moment, and see the magic we've unveiled.


We offer you these words of wisdom and our take on the message in hope to inspire your art. We also pay tribute by creating this unique portrait of Edgar Degas. Go paint!
