MATISSE STRUCTURE FORMULA

Matisse Structure Formula is a rich impasto paint that artists love. It is ideal for application with a brush or palette knife for striking textured effects. The vibrant colours of the Structure range cover the full colour spectrum, with several uniquely Australian colours.  


MATISSE FLOW FORMULA

Matisse Flow Formula has all the attributes of the Structure Formula; however, it has a thinner viscosity to allow free flowing brushstrokes or use through an airbrush (with minimal dilution). This allows Matisse Flow Formula to be used for fine brushwork with or without water dilution, providing a fine flow with a low-sheen finish and good levelling properties.  


MATISSE FUILD FORMULA

Matisse Fluid is our most liquid-like paint. Highly pigmented and lightfast. Perfect for dripping and pouring techniques. Matisse Fluid is also completely compatible with the Matisse range of paints and mediums, allowing you to either, blend them together or use on the same artwork.  



MATISSE INK FORMULA

Matisse Inks come in 22 stunning and intermixable colours, including metallics and irridescents! These bright, intense colours are heavily pigmented for use in many applications, including calligraphy, pen and wash, technical drawing and airbrushing as well as watercolour techniques on paper and painting on prepared canvas. Matisse Inks are fully compatible with the other Matisse ranges of artist colours for mixing and layering.

DRY MEDIUMS
