Additives:
Mediums that Change how you use paint

Transform Your Paint!

Additives enhance the versatility, performance, and creative potential of acrylic paints, making them essential tools for achieving specific artistic goals and effects.

About Additives

Additive mediums allow you to modify your standard acrylic paint into specialty paints for various applications. By incorporating these unique mediums, you can adapt your paint for different surfaces and techniques—such as painting on fabric—without needing to purchase additional sets of acrylic paints. These mediums are specially formulated to be mixed with your Matisse paint, expanding its versatility and enabling a wide range of creative possibilities.

Using additives in paint offers several benefits:

  1. Versatility : Additives can transform standard acrylic paint into specialty paints tailored for various surfaces and techniques. For instance, fabric fixative medium allow acrylic paint to adhere to textiles, print paste can be used to create silk screen printing ink, and matte medium can turn the paint into a gouache-like acrylic paint.

  2. Customisation : Additives enable artists to customise their paint to meet specific needs and creative visions. This flexibility allows for experimentation with different textures, finishes, and effects without the need for multiple types of paint.

  3. Cost Efficiency : Rather than purchasing a range of specialty paints, artists can use additives to extend the functionality of their existing paint supplies. This approach is more cost-effective and reduces the need for additional paint products.


Derivan, the markers of ‘Matisse’, is excited to bring you all the world’s best mediums for adapting acrylic paint for uses outside its original intended application.
