"I have found a new (to me) favorite, Matisse Acrylics. I just love the Australian Sienna. Matisse colors are very consistent between batches. I always know what to expect. They are smooth, pure colors, brilliant and a joy to work with!
“The unique range and versatility of Matisse Derivan acrylics is exceptional. They have colors quite different from other companies, which is why I bought Matisse paint in the first place. The Structure acrylics are great out of the tube, and with some of the mediums I can get effects quite similar to oils without the drying time. Most importantly I can use the same paint (Flow Acrylics) with my paint brush and airbrush, making the transition between the two much more smooth. I like to mix heavy impasto with thin glazes and airbrush, and the drying time of these acrylics allows me to do this without fear of cracking. Their transparent and metallic colors have been a nice addition to the colors I already have.”
"I love Matisse acrylics! I always thought professional acrylic paints were pretty much the same—until I was introduced to Matisse acryics. I use lots of thin transparent layers in my paintings and the heavy pigmentation in the paint results in glowing colors! I love its creamy consistency and the way it performs with my brushes. Some of the new colors have given me added enthusiasm, opeining up new creative horizons and allowing my work to evolve in new directions. I must say, I am completely sold on Matisse acrylics."
