Description

Matisse Structure Series 5 80ml Acrylic Paint is a professional artist acrylic colour of international standards. Water resistant, permanent and totally flexible in light and heavy impasto applications.

The difference between Matisse Structure Series 4 and Series 5 acrylic paints lies solely in the cost of the pigments used.

The “series” number in professional artist paints indicates the price band. This does not affect the overall quality, lightfastness, or performance of the paint itself. All Matisse Structure paints, regardless of their series number, are professional-grade and share the same high-quality characteristics:

• Pigment Quality: Only the finest quality pigments are selected across the entire range.
• Consistency: All paints have the same thick, buttery, heavy-body consistency (viscosity) ideal for impasto and textured effects.
• Lightfastness & Archival Quality: Every colour in the line carries the highest lightfastness ratings (ASTM I or II) and is of archival quality.
• Compatibility: All colours are fully compatible and intermixable with each other and the entire range of Matisse mediums.

The Role of Matisse Structure Series 5 Acrylic Paint:

• The difference in price between Series 4 and Series 5 simply reflects the raw material cost:
• Series 4 pigments are less expensive to acquire or manufacture than Series 5 pigments.
• Series 5 pigments are rarer, more historically precious, or more difficult to produce (e.g., some Cadmiums or Cobalts).

Therefore, a Series 5 tube of paint costs more than a Series 4 tube, but neither is “better” in quality than the other. The ‘series’ just indicates they are different coloured paints made using  different cost pigments.
