The Matisse Dry Medium 40ml in Lang Lang Sand 5.0mm is an archival, high-relief geological texture additive specifically engineered to give artists total control over bold, heavily structural surfaces. Sourced and thoroughly purified from the natural mineral deposits of Lang Lang, Victoria, this 5.0mm nominal-size grit functions as a small pea-gravel. Packaged in its dry, raw state by Derivan Matisse, it lets you bypass the preset density limits of factory-mixed pastes—allowing you to determine the exact density, volume, and depth of the stony layers you build on your canvas or structural layout.
Key Features:
Heavy 5.0mm Coarse Texture: The large 5.0mm grain size delivers striking physical relief, rough organic profiles, and deep cast shadows across your work, making it perfect for recreating rugged riverbeds, rocky outcrops, or brutalist abstract textures.
Purified & Archival: Thoroughly washed and filtered to eliminate all organic impurities, salts, and unbonded materials, ensuring the sand won't react chemically with acrylic binders or cause discolouration over time.
Raw Density Customisation: Supplied completely dry so you can accurately manage the ratio of coarse sand to binder—ranging from a scattered rocky sprinkle to a solid, interlocking gravelly crust.
High Tactile Contrast: Adds excellent structural body and weight when mixed with heavy-body acrylics, offering an uncompromisingly rough tactile contrast against traditional canvas surfaces.
Flawless System Synergy: Combines perfectly with the entire Matisse ecosystem. To ensure a permanent bond that won't shed grains under touch, mix the coarse sand directly into sticky clear vehicles like MM2 Impasto Medium or MM4 Gel Medium.
