Description

Matisse Structure Series 6 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 5 and Series 6 acrylic paints is the cost of the pigments used.  Series 6 colours are more expensive to produce than Series 5 colours. The series number indicates the price band, not the quality or performance of the paint.

Understanding Matisse Structure Series 6 Number:

Matisse, like many professional art brands, uses a series number system to categorize their paints based on the cost of the raw pigments.

• Pigment Cost: Series 5 colours are made with pigments that are less expensive to acquire or manufacture compared to those in Series 6.
• Price Point: Consequently, paints in Series 6 have a higher retail price than those in Series 5.
• Quality: The series number has no bearing on the overall quality of the paint. All Matisse Structure acrylics, regardless of their series number, are a professional-grade paint. They have a high lightfastness rating (ASTM I or II), and are archival quality.
• Paint Properties: The handling characteristics, such as viscosity (thick, impasto consistency), are consistent across all series within the Matisse Structure line. The difference is purely economical and linked to specific colours (e.g., unique colours or pigments might fall into higher series).
