Description

Matisse MM30 Matt Gel Medium for artists who prefer a matt finish will love the new Matt Gel Medium. Matisse’s original Gel Medium is a long-time favourite of artists and craftspeople alike, providing texture and adhesion in a gloss finish.

The Matisse MM30 Matt Gel Medium also provides texture and depth, while remaining matt. Matisse Gel mediums are also chosen by collage and mixed media artists for their adhesive character. Now, these same valued qualities can also be obtained in a matt finish. In a 250ml Jar. Try also Global Regular Gel Medium, though this dries to a gloss finish.

Application

MM30 Matt Gel Medium acts as the main intermixing medium in acrylic painting when you require a rich buttery-like consistency. When dry, it maintains the structure, brushstrokes and textural effects of undiluted Matisse Structure colours. The inherent firm and smooth consistency makes it ideal for application by palette knife to achieve heavily textured grounds. MM30 Matt Gel Medium, because of its viscous non-spreading consistency, enables you to apply thick and heavily defined brushstrokes.

Uses for Matisse MM30 Matt Gel Medium:

• Create a matte finish: It allows artists to achieve a subdued, non-glossy finish on their artwork.
• Add texture and depth: When applied thickly, it can create heavily textured surfaces, retaining the brushstrokes and structure of the acrylic paint.
• Extend colours: It acts as a semi-clear transparent colour extender, reducing paint to create rich, matte glazes.
• Thick, dimensional impasto: The medium has a viscous, buttery consistency that is ideal for creating three-dimensional effects with impasto techniques.
• Apply with a palette knife: Its firm and smooth consistency makes it easy to apply with a palette knife to achieve heavily textured grounds.
• Use as an adhesive: It can be used as a matte adhesive for collage and mixed media work.
