Second Place Winner
"Balloons"
by Jonathon Brown of Tyler, TX

"I've used several brands of acrylics and mediums through Jerry's Artarama. The Matisse series is a very smooth and well blending paint. I've created several pieces with this series and have been completely satisfied. I would recommend this paint for anyone."

Third Place Winner
"Thunder and Moss"
by Claire Richards of Houston, TX

"The reason why I first tried the Matisse line was because I could not find the exact same colors in my other lines. I go through a lot of paint with my work, because I work very large. The paint itself is quality paint, and when compared to other quality brands (not naming), you can really stretch your dollar. The colors though-sold me!"
