Masterpiece Hardcore Pro CARMEL 7oz Smooth Cotton Canvas 1/8" Panel 12"x18"
Hardcore Pro Canvas Panels are simply extraordinary! Both studio and Plein Air artists will have a field day with these finely made 1/8" thin panels. Each panel inspected and detailed to provide you with the highest quality panel on the market. Masterpiece seals the front with four layers of sizing and cover the back with vinyl making both the front and back an impervious moisture barrier.
Masterpiece's Carmel 7oz Portrait Smooth Cotton Canvas features a very smooth surface texture for fine detailed type work, but still has enough texture to grip the paint. 100% Cotton 7oz; Primed Weight 10.3oz. per square yard (3 x Primed; 1 x Size & 2 x Primer). Medium weight, open weaved with a portrait smooth textured surface. Double sized and double primed with acid-free archival quality acrylic gesso. The impenetrable ground prevents oil paint from leaching through and harming the canvas.
Ideal for acrylics, oils, alkyds and water miscible oil paints.
Masterpiece's primer is made with the highest-quality Titanium Dioxide white pigment, which is an excellent pigment for acrylic primed grounds, providing superior whiteness and maintaining excellent flexibility over time. Unlike some other common pigments, such as zinc dioxide, TiO2 doesn't become brittle as it ages, helping to ensure that your painting will stand the test of time.
Masterpiece's Hardcore Pro Canvas Panels are the flattest on the market. They are made using MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is the highest quality engineered wood board on the market. Moisture in the board can cause undesirable results to the panel and your artwork, which is why we size the board with four layers on the front before the canvas is mounted, thereby defending against moisture getting into the board and underneath your artwork.
Canvas Panels should be as flat as possible, otherwise, they don't display well in a frame, and can create spaces between the artwork and the frame. A bowed panel is also a sign of having been impacted by the effect of moisture. Canvas can shrink, even after it is mounted on the board. For this reason, Masterpiece developed a unique proprietary process that stress-relieves each panel, thereby virtually eliminating the bow that is commonly found in competing panel products. Hardcore Pro Canvas Panels provide a stable foundation for your art.
Note: 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.
