Masterpiece Monet Pro MALIBU 12oz Belgian Linen Canvas 1.5" Gallery 18"x24"
Masterpiece Monet Pro MALIBU 12oz Belgian Linen Canvas 1.5" Gallery 18"x24"
Monet Pro means a 1-1/2" deep canvas that is stretched using Masterpiece's MuseumWrap back-stapled method with folded corners. Their proprietary stretching process uses pneumatically controlled machines that we built to yield drum-tight tension. Up to 50% tighter than other methods.
Masterpiece's Malibu Alkyd Oil Primed Belgian Linen has a smooth surface and light gray tone. 100% Belgian Linen 5oz; Primed Weight 12oz. per square yard (4 x Primed; 3 x Size & 1 x Primer). Medium weight, open weaved with a textured surface. Double sized and double primed with acid-free archival quality alkyd ground. The impenetrable ground prevents oil paint from leaching through and harming the canvas.
Ideal for oils, alkyds and water miscible oil paints. Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.
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 Monet Pro 1.5" Deep Bar has 1/2" canvas clearance which is the space between the bar and the canvas. More clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Masterpiece's design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to maximize the strength of the stretcher bar.
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.
