Matisse incorporates a selected range of permanent artist quality painting mediums which allow for all basic techniques encountered in acrylic painting. Formulations of Matisse, based on current chemical know-how combined with cutting edge technology, have produced a quality impasto, more flexible paint, superior to the brand you are probably using now.

Matisse is a professional artist acrylic of international standard. It is water-resistant, permanent and totally flexible in light and heavy impasto applications. Matisse has carefully developed the formula for these acrylic colors based on current chemical know-how and cutting edge technology, and the result is a high quality impasto paint that is perfect for the fine arts. Apply undiluted with a brush or a knife to create a rich, deep impasto technique. These colors may be thinned with water for washes and watercolor effect. Use Impasto Medium with Structure for a brilliant high gloss glaze. Use Matt or Gloss Medium for adjusting surface sheen.

Matisse Flow Formula Acrylics

Lower viscosity acrylic colors, ideal for mural painting, fine brushwork and folk art!

  • Available in 75 ml, 500 ml and 1 Litre
  • Compatible with all Matisse Mediums
  • Australia's finest acrylic colors

Matisse Flow Formula has all the attributes of Matisse Structure, but it has a thinner viscosity to allow free flowing brushstrokes or use through an airbrush (with minimal dilution). This allows the paint to be used for fine brushwork with or without water dilution. This paint gives a fine flow with a low-sheen finish and good levelling. In fact, Matisse Flow Formula is highly suited to mural work, acrylic canvas painting, theatre backdrops, geometrics, hard edge, photo realism and more. Fine detail brushwork, poster color and watercolor techniques can be simulated easily. Matisse Flow Formula is compatible with all Matisse Mediums.

Matisse Acrylic Mediums

Highly pigmented, low-tooth gesso for various applications!

  • Clean with soap and water
  • Built-in sealer protects surfaces
  • Build your art on a strong foundation.

Matisse Background Colors are all-purpose, pure acrylics that can be applied to almost any surface. These colors can also be used with stencils, design painting, or simply as a flat decorative wall and ceiling paint. Apply direct from the jar and clean up with water. Background Colors will not only cover and create a great surface to paint on, but will also seal the surface with its built-in sealer. Matisse Background spreads easily with a brush or a roller and dries fast to a matte-velvet finish. They even make an ideal colored gesso. Colors come in 250 ml "stack up jars" with a selection of the most popular colors available in 4 litre pails.
