The Matisse Dry Medium 40ml in Lang Lang Sand 0.5mm is an archival, fine-grain geological texture additive specifically engineered to give artists total control over organic, textured finishes. Sourced and thoroughly purified from the natural deposits of Lang Lang, Victoria, this 0.5mm nominal-size sand provides a beautiful, even grit. Packaged in its dry, raw state by Derivan Matisse, it lets you bypass the preset density constraints of factory-mixed textures—allowing you to determine the exact tooth, body, and depth of the sandy layers you build on your canvas or mixed-media layout.
Key Features:
Fine 0.5mm Texture: The subtle, even grain size is perfect for replicating natural coastlines, gritty stone surfaces, desert landscapes, or adding a fine stucco look to your abstract art.
Purified & Archival: Thoroughly washed to eliminate all organic impurities, salts, and unbonded materials, ensuring the sand won't react chemically with acrylic mediums or cause discolouration over time.
Raw Density Control: Supplied completely dry so you can accurately manage the ratio of sand to binder—ranging from a light, scattered stone sprinkle to a solid, sandstone-like crust.
Creates an Ideal Painting Tooth: When mixed into gesso or matte mediums, it produces a beautifully rough, uniform surface that easily grabs dry media like pastel, charcoal, graphite, and coloured pencils.
Flawless System Synergy: Combines perfectly with the entire Matisse ecosystem. For an enduring bond that won't shed grains, mix the sand directly into fluid paints or sticky clear vehicles like MM2 Impasto Medium or MM4 Gel Medium.
