Masterpiece Vincent Pro Vintage Artfix L22U Linen Canvas 7/8" Trad. 16"x20"
Vincent Pro means a 7/8" deep canvas that is stretched using Masterpiece's MuseumWrap back-stapled method with folded corners. Their proprietary stretching process uses pneumatically controlled machines that Masterpiece built to yield drum-tight tension. Up to 50% tighter than other methods.
Masterpiece's Vintage L22U Acrylic Primed Artfix Linen is a delightful hand-primed medium tooth linen with medium texture. 100% Belgian Linen 5oz; Primed Weight 12oz. per square yard (4 x Primed; 2 x Size & 2 x Primer). Medium weight, open weaved with a 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. Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.
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 Vincent Pro 7/8" Deep Bar has 5/16" 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.
