The Matisse Dry Medium 40ml in Black Flakes Hex is a striking, precision-cut raw texture additive specifically engineered to give artists total control over modern decorative and physical dimensional finishes. Formulated from premium coated polyester film, these gleaming hexagonal flakes provide a highly distinctive gloss-black sparkle when introduced to your artwork. Packaged in its raw, dry state by Derivan Matisse, this medium eliminates the limits of pre-mixed gels—allowing you to determine the exact density, volume, and depth of the textured layers you build on your canvas, sculpture, or mixed-media layout.
Key Features:
Raw Custom Control: Provided completely dry so you can accurately control the exact ratio of flakes to wet binder, ensuring your finishes range from a subtle, scattered sparkle to an intense, solid geometric crust.
Precision Hexagonal Geometry: Cleanly cut into uniform hexagonal shapes that catch and reflect light beautifully, adding structured visual interest that standard ground pigments cannot match.
Coated Film Durability: Made from durable, non-tarnishing coated polyester film that resists bleeding, dissolving, or losing its high-gloss sheen when mixed with heavy water-based acrylic mediums.
Flexible Application Methods: Can be mixed directly into wet paint, blended into transparent acrylic gels, or lightly sprinkled by hand straight onto a freshly painted surface as a final shimmering overlay.
Excellent Media Integration: Combines flawlessly with the entire Matisse ecosystem. It is highly recommended to mix these flakes with gloss-based vehicles like MM4 Gel Medium or MM7 Poly Gloss Varnish to fully preserve and maximize the flakes' reflective, shiny surfaces.
