Masterpiece Hardcore Pro VERSAILLES 6oz Artfix Linen 1/8" Panel 5"x7"
Masterpiece Hardcore Pro VERSAILLES 6oz Artfix Linen 1/8" Panel 5"x7"
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 Versailles Oil Primed Artfix Linen is a choice oil primed linen canvas with more substantial body. It has a warm golden hue and is an excellent painting surface, even for larger sizes. 100% Belgian Linen 6.1oz; Primed Weight 14.6oz. per square yard (4 x Primed; 2 x Size & 2 x Primer). Medium weight, close weaved with a medium textured surface. Double sized and double primed with acid-free archival quality oil primed ground. The impenetrable ground prevents oil paint from leaching through and harming the canvas. Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.
Ideal for acrylics, oils, alkyds and water miscible oil paints.
Using an oil prepared canvas for oil painting can produce superior results because the paint and ground are organically similar and create an ideal "chemical bond" where the paint sinks into the ground resulting in a smoother and more even finish. The resulting bond between the paint and canvas is stronger, making the artwork more durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the melding of the two oil-based materials creates an effect called luminosity, where the colors appear to glow from within, and thereby enhances the vibrancy and brightness of the colors, impacting the way light reflects off the colors.
While it is not required, for best results, lightly wipe or "flash" the oil prepared canvas with mineral spirits before painting to make sure that your surface is completely clean of any dust or contaminants before painting.
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.
