Masterpiece Monterey Cotton Canvas

Masterpiece Monterey Cotton Canvas is a top-quality, professional surface for oil or acrylic painting.

Masterpiece's popular 7 oz Monterey 100% cotton canvas is sized and double-primed with acrylic gesso, yielding an archival, acid-free, pH-neutral surface with a 10.5 oz primed weight.

The canvas is stretched using the exclusive MuseumWrap method, which yields a balanced tension up to 50% tighter than canvas stretched using other methods. Clean, paintable, staple-free edges are perfect for an elegant frameless display. Uncut, folded corners and extra canvas selvage leave the canvas intact and re-stretchable on the same size frame.

Precision-machined, solid wood stretcher bars are made with lumber harvested from sustainable forests in the Pacific Northwest. The kiln-dried stretcher bars are tapered to yield full relief to the canvas, preventing those unsightly lines created when the canvas touches the bar underneath.

For canvas sizes 16" x 16" and up, a keyable cross brace system provides extra support. Unprecedented for this size stretcher bar, a keyable brace prevents the frame from bowing inward and makes it possible to tension the canvas in the middle of the frame if needed.

Masterpiece Monterey Cotton Canvas is available in two profiles:

• Monet Pro — 1-1/2" profile with a 1/2" relief between the bar face and canvas back.
• Vincent Pro — 7/8" profile with a 5/16" relief between the bar face and canvas back.
