Product Description

This 8x10 size is in the 5:4 Aspect Ratio. Medium weight Belgian Linen finished to a primed weight of 13 oz.. It's double sized and single primed with archival quality oil primer, making the ground impervious to paints leaching through and harming the fabric. For oil or alkyd paints only. It is highly absorbent and has excellent qualities of luminosity. It has a warm yellowish hue and is very popular among oil painters. It's an extraordinary painting surface! Linen is very strong and has natural oils within it's fibers which keep it flexible and help prevent disintegration over time. The surface has a smooth tooth, although not considered of a portrait texture. There is a 1/2" gap between the canvas and frame, eliminating the unwanted lines that occur when the gap is less. We never use finger joints in our wood frames, which often fail under tension and over time - the glue joints give-up, and are unsuitable for paintings intended to last for centuries. No brace required for this size. Stretched using our proprietary MuseumWrap method, producing a drum-tight-stretch up to 50% tighter than other methods, and with balanced tension across the surface. The corners are uncut and neatly folded, making it possible to remove and restretch the canvas on the same size frame.

From the Manufacturer

For 50+ years, the passion of the Masterpiece team is building the finest artist canvas in America. Just touch one of these impressive products and youll immediately discern the quality characteristics that separate this canvas from any other. Masterpiece takes pride in using high quality materials, employing unparalleled workmanship, and continually upping the bar on quality. The importance of artists using a quality made canvas cannot be overstressed. If you use high quality paints and brushes, then dont waste your resources on an inferior canvas not worthy of your own time, talent, and reputation.Masterpiece canvases are built to last well beyond the artist's lifetimeinto the next millennium. Savvy art buyers and art enthusiasts understand that the value of a painting increases when the materials used to create it are of equal quality to the artwork itself. Using a well-made canvas is an investment in your own legacy.Why are Masterpiece canvases so good? It starts with the canvas itself. Natural fiber canvas materials, like 100% cotton and Belgian Linen, are selected and inspected. A sizing is then applied to the canvas that becomes a barrier between the ultimate primer and the canvas material. The primer is specifically designed to provide the ultimate surface upon which your paints will join with the canvas, either chemically and/or mechanically, providing a reliable base or ground for your art.The canvas is then mounted onto a state-of-the-art Monet Pro frame. When frame sizes are 16 or larger, a brace is applied to the frame; for example, a 16x20 has a single brace, and a 20x20 is cross braced in both directions. The braces prevent the stretcher bar frame from bowing-in so the canvas stays tighter.which is a welcome feature when you paint on the canvas, making the surface more responsive to the artists touch. And the canvas stays tight after its painted. To increase the tension further, press-in the corner keys and the brace keys further into the slots, which adds tension in the corners and the middle of the canvas, where the tension is needed the most!Monet Pro canvas is MuseumWrapped, which is Masterpieces proprietary stretching technique that achieves: a drum-tight stretch, balanced tension across the canvas surface, neatly folded un-cut corners, and paintable edges. Its the absolute best way to stretch a canvas.When your art matters, choose Monet Proa truly professional canvas in every way!
