Description

Matisse Structure Series 7 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 6 and Series 7 acrylic paints is related to the cost of the pigments used to make them. The higher the series number (e.g., Series 7), the more expensive or rare the pigment in that specific colour is to acquire or manufacture, which results in a higher price point for the artist.

Key points regarding the Matisse Structure Series 7:

• Pricing: Series 6 colours are made with pigments that are less expensive to source than those in Series 7, making them cheaper to purchase.
• Quality: The series number does not indicate a difference in paint quality, lightfastness, or performance. All Matisse Structure paints, regardless of their series number, are professional-grade, have a high lightfastness rating (ASTM I or II), and are archival quality.
• Pigment Cost: The variation in price is solely due to the cost of the raw pigment material itself. For example, pigments like cobalt or cadmium (though Matisse generally avoids these) often have higher series numbers because they are rarer or more difficult to produce.
• Paint Properties: All Matisse Structure paints share the same heavy-body, rich, impasto consistency, ideal for textured effects. The difference is in the specific colour’s pigment, not the acrylic polymer emulsion or the overall formula.
