      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      MM20 Water Based Patina is a glazing medium designed to slow the drying time of the paint but keep the binding and waterfast capacity of the paint intact, no matter how little paint is used. MM20 Water-Based Patina will allow time for the free movement of the paint and contains extra binder so that only small amounts of paint can be used (as little as 5% paint) in a glaze form whilst still remaining waterfast once dry. A great way to antique without the hassle of oil-based mediums. MM20 Water-Based Patina only takes 4 to 6 hours to dry. ...Show more

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      Matisse Structure Formula paint offers a thick buttery consistency suitable for impasto, oil painting and brush stroke techniques: its high tintorial strength permits ready dilution with water or mediums to allow the artist free expression by selective use of these mediums, for the results desired. The purpose of MM8 Spreader Medium is to spread large volumes of colour over selected areas while maintaining a controlled paint viscosity. It is customary to add MM8 Spreader Medium to Matisse Colours until the required volume of paint is attained. Inversely, Matisse Colour can be added in small or large increments to the MM8 Spreader Medium but, because of the heavy-bodied consistency of Matisse Structure, lumping could occur and it is advisable to pre-dilute the Matisse Structure with a little water. MM8 Spreader Medium is a transparent flowing paste. It dries fairly "flat" and, when dry, can hardly be discerned on a painted or unpainted area, i.e. it leaves almost no stain. Its main application is for glazing where it imparts fine flow and controlled spreadability and lubrication to the paint. Used on its own, the medium does not dry waterproof and can therefore be used as an intermediary between two partially dried paint films if some water-sensitivity for wash areas is desired. Applied over a dried paint film, it gives a wet upon wet effect but will recede to an almost invisible film when dry. MM8 Spreader Medium can be used to pre-dilute Matisse Colour to infinity, thereby increasing transparency and some water-sensitivity to paint film. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish (Gloss Medium) or MM5 Matt Medium are the natural intermixes with the MM8 Spreader Medium to impart absolutely controlled water resistance. As MM8 Spreader Medium dries relatively slowly when applied over a well-primed or heavily painted area, it increases workability within the paint. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish or MM5 Matt Medium would tend to dry very rapidly when used on their own thereby defeating the purpose of carefully controlled glazing. Soft colour hues and delicate tone-on-tone transitions are obtained by using MM8 Spreader Medium. Pre-additions of 1 part MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish or MM5 Matt Medium to 4 parts of MM8 Spreader Medium are sufficient to impart water resistance to the medium. ...Show more

      MM31 Open Medium 250ML

      $17.99 AUD

      Available Stock:

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      MM31 Open Medium is formulated to be mixed with either Matisse Structure or Matisse Flow acrylic colours to assist in prolonging drying time while maintaining the consistency of the paint. When mixed with Matisse Structure, they will retain their impasto quality, while Matisse Flow Acrylics will keep th eir smooth flowing feel with added body but not viscosity. Optimal for painting outdoors or in particularly hot weather, MM31 Open Medium allows the paint to be blended on the painting surface for longer. Artists will be delighted with the way this medium makes their paint handle, so smooth and buttery. Be surprised by the glowing satin finish that this medium imparts to the paints. Mixing Ratios As little as 10% MM31 Open Medium to the paint, will lengthen the working time, allowing satisfying, smooth blends. By choosing to use smaller amounts of medium, the blending time is increased, but drying time is not drastically increased. However, a larger amount of Open Medium will dramatically increase the working time of the paint. The maximum retardation of drying time is reached with an equal mixture of paint to medium. Beyond this point, any further additions of MM31 Open Medium will result in minimal increases of drying time but may reduce waterfastness of the dried paint. However larger proportions (more medium than paint) will give transparency and will aid effective layering. As well as allowing more time to blend on the surface, paint mixed with MM31 Open Medium will stay fresh on the palette for several hours, depending both on the weather conditions and the quantity of MM31 Open Medium used. Easy to use, MM31 Open Medium will allow the reworking of areas of a painting in a way not previously possible. The gel-like consistency of MM31 Open Medium allows it to remain in place on the palette, therefore it is suitable to be brush-mixed while painting, as well as to be pre-mixed on the palette. ...Show more

      MM4 Gel Medium (Gloss Finish) 250ML

      $19.99 AUD

      Available Stock:
      2

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      Modern paint technology has facilitated the production of a true Gel Medium. The purpose of the MM4 Gel Medium is to act as a clear transparent colour extender in the production of brilliant coloured glazes and as a transparent impasto for thick 3-dimensional brush and knife applications of Matisse Stru cture. Its prime requirement is to be thick and buttery whilst remaining fully transparent. MM4 Gel Medium is perhaps the most versatile medium in the Matisse range because of its multiple effects, particularly when intermixed with other mediums. It acts as the main intermixing medium in acrylic painting when its rich buttery consistency is required for impasto work, 3-dimensional extrapolations, multi-layer work and heavy, smooth or textural glazes. When dry, it maintains the structure, brushstrokes and textural effects of undiluted Matisse Structure colours. Its inherent firm and buttery consistency makes it ideal for application by palette knife in order to achieve heavily textured grounds. Reduced with water and MM8 Spreader Medium, it adapts for thick but smooth flowing glazes. MM4 Gel Medium, because of its viscous non-spreading consistency, enables the artist to apply thick and heavily defined brushstrokes. It is well known that acrylic paints "surface" dry very rapidly but heavily imposed brushstrokes of paint take much longer to dry than thinly applied coats. The fact that the surface of the paint film dries rapidly causes moisture entrapment in the film underneath. This effect need not be detrimental to the painting as acrylic mediums are porous and allow for the gradual release of moisture during air drying. Nor does the artist experience any great problem of cracking or wrinkling because Matisse is a highly concentrated paint and once the available moisture has evaporated, the paint remains as a strong, solid, pliable and non-cracking film. Hints and tips Avoid force-drying: The application of intense heat in order to prematurely dry paintings constructed with heavily imposed layers of colours is not recommended - the surface layers of paint can seal off, permanently trapping moisture underneath. Subsequently, the painting could crack and the canvas shrink or distort. MM4 Gel Medium dries to a glossy finish. Matisse artists acrylic colours are designed to dry with a subdued low sheen. Liberal additions of MM4 Gel Medium to Matisse paint will tend to increase the gloss level of the finished work. Artists who find this undesirable can intermix Gel Medium with Matt Medium, thereby producing a non-glossy gel medium. Glass: MM4 Gel Medium can be applied directly to glass either by itself or with Matisse Colours added. Frosted glass finish: If a finish such as frosted glass is required, apply MM4 Gel Medium directly onto the glass. Clean the window first with a good window cleaner or methylated spirits, then apply the MM4 Gel Medium with a brush or sponge; the pattern formed will be dictated by the way in which the MM4 Gel Medium is applied. Apply the MM4 Gel Medium in coats no thicker than 2mm and do not force dry. Leave approx. 6 hours between coats. The resultant finish will dry clear and allow light through but will still obscure the view and is suitable for bathroom windows etc.* *(If applying to a bathroom window, apply to the inside of the window as the texture of the finish will tend to attract dirt if applied outside. If applying to a shower screen, apply to the outside of the shower screen as constant exposure to water may cause lifting. Clean with most household cleaners. Do not use window cleaner or ammonia-based cleaning products). ...Show more

      MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish 250ML

      Available Stock:

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish & Medium serves both as a gloss finishing varnish and as a glossy additive to the paint. The use of this varnish will help maintain colour intensity with a gloss finish comparable to that of oil paintings Mixed with Matisse Colours, it increases gloss and flow characterist ics. Used as a finishing varnish, it produces a strong, protective, tack-free, clear film. Pictures treated with MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish will look like work done with oil paints or shiny enamel. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish and MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish are freely intermixable to achieve a semi-gloss or satin finish. MM7 dries completely clear, is non-yellowing and it will remain totally flexible. Polymer water-based varnishes may appear to be slightly hazy whilst in solution. This is an optical effect produced by light refraction of acrylic particles suspended within the water-based medium. The effect disappears when the film is dry. Application As acrylics dry very rapidly, care should be taken to apply varnish pre-diluted with water (how much water will depend on the temperature, humidity and how thickly you apply each coat, however, a good starting point is somewhere between 10% to 20% water to medium with a maximum of 50%). Polymer Varnish, applied in very thick layers on a hot day, could trap moisture, resulting in a cloudy film which would be very difficult to correct. All Matisse painting mediums are freely intermixable, e.g. Polymer Gloss Varnish will intermix with MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish to give a subdued gloss effect; MM8 Spreader Medium will intermix with the above to offer various degrees of water resistance and flow. Nevertheless, painters are advised to use some discretion in pre-determining their selection of mediums to avoid accidentally eliminating their intrinsic qualities or beneficial effects, e.g. artists using MM5 Matt Medium would be ill-advised to finish their painting with a Polymer Gloss Varnish. After application, drying time will be approximately 1-2 hours, depending upon weather conditions. Do not attempt to speed the drying process with a heat source such as a blow dryer or fan heater, as this may cause cracking. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish is not suitable for use over oil paints. Do not allow to freeze. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish and medium is also an archival adhesive and most suitable replacement for PVA glues which will yellow and go brittle in a short period of time. ...Show more

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      Please note this product cannot be shipped and is only available for purchase in store. Matisse MM15 Matt Varnish produces a hard, non-yellowing, protective coating with a subdued matt sheen formulated to match the sheen of Matisse paint films. It is nearly invisible with one of the lowest sheen levels available whilst still remaining clear and free of haze. Unlike water-based varnishes, this varnish is removable or strippable, and can be re-dissolved in mineral turpentine, which has no effect on Matisse acrylic paints: thus a painting may be completely cleaned and re-varnished without affecting the painted surface. MM15 Final Varnish Matt Finish is an ideal varnish for use in restoration work (may be used on oil paintings). Use A minimum of two coats are recommended for a consistent subdued sheen finish. Drying time is approximately 6-8 hours depending upon weather conditions. This product is also suitable for use over oil paints after they are completely dry (approximately 6-12 months). This varnish should be stirred thoroughly as it contains a matting agent which will, in storage, tend to settle out and fall to the bottom of the container. It is clear and cannot be easily seen therefore always mix this varnish with a clean stick or mixing spatula before use. Shaking the container is not recommended as bubbles may form that can impact the final finish. Clean Up It is recommended to clean your brush as soon as you finish the application. Always clean brushes with mineral turpentine first. This will remove most of the traces of varnish from the brush. Finish by using liquid or bar of soap in the palm of your hand and scrub the brush back and forth until you form a lather. Rinse well and let dry flat. Using soap and lukewarm water will condition the brush's hair and prevent it from becoming stiff after drying due to any turpentine (or other solvent) residue left on them. ...Show more

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      MM9 Acrylic Painting Medium is a pure acrylic binder used in formulating Matisse Colours and acts as the principal paint "dilutant" when not using water. Water may be used with the Matisse colours. However, the addition of more than 30-50% water to Matisse Colours will reduce not only their colour stre ngth (which, of course, is generally the required result) but will also reduce the "binding" capacity of the Matisse colours. This may lead to the Matisse colours becoming water-sensitive. MM9 Acrylic Painting Medium is used in addition with equal parts water to ensure the Matisse Colours remain waterfast when they are reduced for glazing or any other purpose where water is added to the paint. MM9 Acrylic Painting Medium with its low sheen and good adhesion makes it a suitable transparent primer or surface conditioner for canvas, paper or board.   ...Show more

      Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

      This is an additive for intermixing with Matisse Colours (not a finishing varnish). Incorporation of the medium within the paint will reduce the sheen of Matisse to a very flat or low sheen finish suitable for work to be photographed. Resultant dried films of Matisse Colours will look more like tempera colours or gouache. The use of MM5 Matt Medium in hard edge painting, particularly in large coloured areas is most beneficial as it helps to eliminate side sheen and the unfavourable appearance of accidentally highlighted brush strokes. As Matisse Colours are highly concentrated paints, pre-determined mixtures of water and MM5 Matt Medium should be the prime factors in hard edge work. Additions of MM1 Drying Retarder or MM3 Surface Tension Breaker will further facilitate the satisfactory application of the acrylic paint over large flat coloured areas by increasing flow. MM8 Spreader Medium will have similar results in conjunction with the MM5 Matt Medium and the Matisse Professional Artist Acrylics. ...Show more
