MM38 Acrylic Thickener (Rheology Modifier) 250ml

$26.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

An alternative to adding gels and other impasto or building mediums to paint which work by imparting their own thicker bulk to a paint mix. This medium actually chemically thickens the paint. It is a rheology modifier, that is, it changes the flow and viscosity of the paint, it will thicken the paint wi thout losing any colour. Some colours may show a reduction in sheen in the dried film which can be adjusted with a varnish once dry.  Application / Use Just add a few drops to the paint and stir in - it will need to be stirred in very well - use within 24 hours of mixing in - in case too much medium has been used and the paint thicken beyond a usable consistency. As a general rule 2-3 % should be enough to thicken the paint - any more than 5-7% (depending on the original viscosity) will not continue to thicken the paint but possibly start to thin it down again.  Method: Each consistent of paint will require a different amount to be added to reach the same consistency and even within the same range and consistency - different colours may require differing amounts of medium. Compatible with all Matisse acyclic colours.  Drying Time The thickness of application of this product will determine the length of drying time. For a thin coat, a standard estimation is 48hrs, but prevailing atmospheric conditions upon application may influence drying time (humidity, heat, cold, etc.). WARNING do not force dry or use in temperatures above 30℃ as premature skinning may occur trapping water in the coating resulting in an opaque or cloudy finish. ...Show more

MM10 Gesso 250ML

$18.99 AUD

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

MM10 Gesso is a great permanent flexible primer for canvas, board or even paper. An intense white ground with an excellent tooth for easy paint manipulation. Matisse Gesso is a water-based product and can be thinned down with water. Use equal parts of water to Matisse Gesso when working on raw canvas/li nen. If working on canvas, Matisse Gesso will tighten the canvas, making a firmer ground to paint on. Use MM10 Gesso is suitable for creating a surface for both acrylic and oil paints. When priming for acrylic paints, two coats of gesso are recommended to ensure complete coverage. For oil paints, it is advisable to seal the surface first with MM5 Matt Medium or MM12 Clear Sealer, and then apply a minimum of 3 coats of gesso. As the oil in oil paints is readily absorbed by the gesso, a stronger sealed layer is needed to ensure the paint does not absorb through the gesso and onto the actual canvas. Matisse Gessoes contain Calcite grounds (calcium carbonate) which help to protect canvas from destructive gases given off by oil paints over their life-span. Application It is recommended that MM10 Gesso be applied with a spatula or blade on canvas. If applying with a brush mix with equal parts water, especially for the first coats when being applied to raw canvas/linen (alternatively use MM27 Low Viscosity Gesso). The application method can also affect the tooth. For a rough textured tooth, apply with a coarse bristled brush. For a smoother finish, apply with a soft bristled flat brush and sand the dried surface lightly with fine grade moist wet/dry sandpaper after each application. The moisture will minimise the amount of dust created when sanding. Coats take between 1-3 hours to dry, depending upon weather conditions. ...Show more

MM13 Fabric Fixative 250ML

$19.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

A great idea for the all-round artist. A way in which, if you feel like painting on fabric and making it last, you need not buy a whole range of fabric paints. MM13 Fabric Fixative mixed with Matisse Colours, preferably Flow Formula, will become permanent on T-shirts or most other garments after heat fi xing. Mix equal parts of Fabric Fixative and Matisse Flow Formula Acrylic, then paint and let dry before you heat-set with an iron to become wash-fast. Heat-set by ironing on the reverse side of the painted area or put a tea towel over the painted area and heat-set with an iron (see below). Do not allow the iron to make contact with the paint. Some synthetic fabrics are non-absorbent and thus not suited for paint application. It is possible to thin the paint with water and achieve stain effects or delicate watercolour brushouts. Test your fabric choice beforehand. Although white in colour, this product will not alter the paint colour when blended in the correct ratios. Drying time is approximately 2- 5 hours, depending upon weather conditions and the thickness of application. Avoid the use of heavy layers and thick textures, as these may crack or peel over time. Do not allow to freeze. Heat Fix Times & Temperatures Please note heat fixing times and temperatures are subject to vary depending on the accuracy of the settings in the appliance to be used. The following is a guide only: Cotton, calico, linen, rayon 4-5 minutes at 140°C - 180°C Synthetics, nylon, polyester, tetron, acrylic 5-8 minutes at 115°C - 130°C It is important to remember that valuable projects always warrant a test. Heat fixing tests should always be done on the fabric to determine temperature and time required to make the image fast (permanent) but without scorching the particular fabric. Test by heat fixing a trial strip and washing on a heavy duty cycle. ...Show more

MM9 Acrylic Painting Medium 250ML

$19.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

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

MM1 Drying Retarder 250ML

$18.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

Additions of MM1 Drying Retarder may be used in watercolouring, water wash effects, stain painting and hard edge techniques where it assists in pigment wetting, rapid colour diffusion and penetration. On raw canvas, the addition of 3-5% MM1 Drying Retarder, pre-diluted with water, will improve the mixin g of inorganic pigments, oxides, earth colours, titanium dioxide and metallic pigments. MM1 Drying Retarder will slow the evaporation of water from the paint. However, excess amounts of MM1 Drying Retarder (over 10%) will severely slow “cross linking” of the acrylic. Therefore, even though the paint may look dry (and indeed all the water will have gone from the paint), it will not have “cross linked” or “cured” so it is able to be re-wet, i.e. with a wet brush or cloth. This allows the Matisse acrylic colours to be used just like watercolours. ...Show more

MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish 250ML

$19.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish can be used as a final varnish over a dried, well-cured acrylic painting when a flat, matt or very low sheen is required (and the use of MM15 Matt Varnish (turps-based) is not appropriate). Most suitable as a protective coating particularly over large works exposed to damage in public galleries, commercial paintings required for floodlit photographic reproduction and paintings that would be improved by eliminating unbalanced glossy highlights. Although white in colour, MM6 Polymer Matt Vanish dries completely clear and is non-yellowing. Application It is recommended that this product be stirred thoroughly before application, as it contains a matting agent that can settle at the bottom of the container. Avoid shaking the container as this can cause bubbles to form that may affect the finish. Do not allow to freeze. Add approximately 20% water to increase the flow of MM6 Polymer Matt Vanish and apply with a soft bristled brush to minimise brush streaks. On application, this varnish may appear to be slightly white, but will become transparent as it dries. It is important to apply the product rapidly and not keep working the surface as it begins to dry. Doing so can result in white patches as the brush scratches the drying varnish. A minimum of two coats is recommended for a consistent matt finish. MM6 Polymer Matt Vanish is not suitable for use over oil paints. Drying time is approximately 1-2 hours, (leave 24 hours before re-coating) 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 over time. Also exercise caution when applying any polymer varnish in very thick layers on a hot day, as moisture can become trapped in the drying surface, causing a cloudy finish that is very difficult to correct. Although MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish can be used in a mixture with Matisse paint, its effect within the paint would not be as pronounced as when using MM5 Matt Medium which contains a far greater percentage of flattening agents. Both the MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish and the MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish can be mixed together to achieve a range of semi-gloss or satin finishes – or simply use the MM28 Polymer Satin Varnish. Varnishing A varnish is a clear coat applied over the top of an artwork. It has two main functions - to give an even sheen to the work, which will in turn help to bring out the full intensity and beauty of the pigments, and to protect it from several different areas of attack such as wear and tear and airborne grime and chemicals. ...Show more

Derivan Pouring Medium 250ml 1DM25POM

$21.99 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

Derivan Pouring Medium is your perfect marbling paint to create beautiful peal-able decal style designs that can be attached to non-porous surfaces such as windows, glassware, candles, tiles, jewellery, mirrors or mixed media works. Pouring Medium is water based and non-toxic. Pouring Medium is remarka bly easy to apply: the plastic nozzle allows you to draw easily even lines or pour uniform flat washes or a combination of both to create amazing marbled designs. Mix Derivan Pouring Medium with highly pigmented acrylics paints or inks. After 24 hours, your creations can be peeled off.  They can be removed and repositioned as often as wished on numerous objects with smooth and non-porous surfaces. Application / Use There are many application methods for this product, providing the artists with a myriad of possibilities. It can be tinted with the addition of Derivan Ink or Derivan Acrylic Paint. Using ink will maintain transparency and a glossy finish, while the use of acrylic paint will make the final result more opaque and less glossy. Only a small amount (less than 10%) of either paint or ink is required.  If you are using Derivan Pouring medium for acrylic pouring techniques, you can adjust the viscosity by adding up to 20% water to it. As this product is white in the container, the addition of colour will initially produce a pastel blend, but this will develop into a bright, transparent colour after the drying process is completed. This drying time must be taken into account when applying multiple layers of colour if the artist wants to see how the colour will develop between layers. If Derivan Pouring Medium has been applied and bubbles have developed (while the coating is still wet), a pin can be used to release the air from larger bubbles. This is not always practical for multiple, smaller ones. These may be able to be removed with a spray application of isopropyl alcohol, which is readily available in pharmacies. After decanting into a small spray bottle lightly spray the isopropyl alcohol onto the wet surface. It will immediately break the surface tension and release the bubbles. Be aware that the medium itself will also spread slightly. In Mixed Media Derivan Pouring Medium can also be used to create transparent polymer/acrylic layers that can be peeled away and added to mix media artworks when applied to a non stick surface such as PP (Polypropylene) or PE (Polyethylene) plastic sheets.   ...Show more

MM37 Self Leveling Medium 250ML

Category: Matisse Acrylic Mediums 250ml

MM37 Matisse Self Leveling Medium is a clear product that when applied to a surface or as a paint additive will automatically spread and create a smooth, glossy finish with minimal surface texture. It is ideal for high gloss thick varnishing, pouring and marbling techniques. Apply with a brush, palette knife or jug.  Can be tinted with Matisse Flow Acrylics or Matisse Inks. Application / Use There are many application methods for this product, providing the artists with a myriad of possibilities. It can be tinted with the addition of Matisse Ink or Matisse Flow Acrylic Paint. Using ink will maintain transparency and a glossy finish, while the use of acrylic paint will make the final result more opaque and less glossy. Only a small amount (less than 10%) of either paint or ink is required.  If you are using Self Leveling Medium for acrylic pouring techniques, you can adjust the viscosity by adding up to 20% water to it. As this product is white in the container, the addition of colour will initially produce a pastel blend, but this will develop into a bright, transparent colour after the drying process is completed. This drying time must be taken into account when applying multiple layers of colour if the artist wants to see how the colour will develop between layers. If Self Leveling Medium has been applied and bubbles have developed (while the coating is still wet), a pin can be used to release the air from larger bubbles. This is not always practical for multiple, smaller ones. These may be able to be removed with a spray application of isopropyl alcohol, which is readily available in pharmacies. After decanting into a small spray bottle lightly spray the isopropyl alcohol onto the wet surface. It will immediately break the surface tension and release the bubbles. Be aware that the medium itself will also spread slightly.MM37 Self Leveling Medium can also be used to create transparent polymer/acrylic layers that can be peeled away and added to mix media artworks when applied to a non stick surface such as PP (Polypropylene) or PE (Polyethylene) plastic sheets. Method: After colour has been added to the medium  and left to stand, it can be poured onto plastic ring binder sleeves and left to dry. Once dry and peeled, the soft, plastic-like formations can also be easily cut with scissors to any desired shape. Unfortunately, acetate sheets or glass surfaces are not recommended for this process as the medium will adhere to the surface, therefore standard plastic ring binder sheets are ideal.Hint Small objects such as beads and thread can also be embedded into the surface. Simply add the objects to the wet medium and allow to dry. In Varnishing MM37 Self Leveling Medium is archival and can be used over any acrylic painted surface (as long as it is thoroughly dry) to create a high gloss, resin-like coat of varnish. It can be applied by pouring but this technique is recommended only for the application on rigid substrates. It is impotrtant to remember that since Matisse MM37 is a water based medium, it is not suitable for use over oil painted surfaces. The use of a brush is recommended when varnishing flexible surfaces to avoid "pulling" due to surface tension of the product. Method: Create a masking tape border around the edges of the board to keep the medium from dripping down the sides, and leave the tape in place until the medium is dry. Then, simply pour on and gently roll the board to allow the medium to flow and coat the entire surface. Let this coat of medium dry and remove the tape. Any ridges that formed along the edge against the tape wall can be trimmed with a scalpel or hobby knife. Larger areas that cannot be rolled may need to have the medium gently brushed over the surface. A soft-bristle brush is recommended and a light touch is required as over brushing and manipulating the medium excessively for long periods as it is curing, can affect the smoothness of the finish. In terms of application, one coat of MM37 Self Leveling Medium gives the same finish as approximately two to three layers of a standard acrylic gloss varnish. This medium has been formulated so you can adjust the viscosity. You can add up to 20% water to thin this product. DO NOT ALLOW TO FREEZE. Drying Time The thickness of application of this product will determine the length of drying time. For a thin coat, a standard estimation is 48hrs, but prevailing atmospheric conditions upon application may influence drying time (humidity, heat, cold, etc.).WARNING do not force dry or use in temperatures above 30℃ as premature skinning may occur trapping water in the coating resulting in an opaque or cloudy finish. Finish Matisse MM37 has a HI-Gloss finish and may become more so with thicker or multiple applications. Clean-Up Clean brushes, palette knives, jugs and hands with warm, soapy water. ...Show more

Folk Artists Although not formulated for Folk Art use, many decorative painters have contacted us to let us know how much they like using this product to prepare craftwood pieces. We have been told that by applying a coat of this and sanding before your first coat of Matisse Background Colours will help to quickly reduce 'furry' routed edges. You can even apply MM26 Transparent Gesso between coats of Background colours, as it is relatively transparent, and shows little to no brush strokes when applied straight from the bottle. This is useful when you find a particular piece rougher than you expected. However, you should not use MM26 Transparent Gesso as a top coat. ...Show more
