The Matisse Dry Medium 40ml in Natural Mica Flakes is an ultra-premium, naturally shimmering mineral additive specifically engineered to give artists complete creative control over organic, iridescent structural layers. Composed of raw, layered silicate mineral flakes, this dry medium catches and reflects light with a soft, metallic-like glint. Packaged in its raw, dry state by Derivan Matisse, it lets you bypass the preset density constraints of factory-mixed glitter gels—allowing you to determine the exact volume, density, and physical depth of the crystalline textures you build on your canvas or mixed-media layout.
Key Features:
Organic Mineral Iridescence: Unlike sharp, synthetic plastics or metallic glitters, natural mica flakes provide a highly sophisticated, multi-tonal pearlescent sheen that beautifully mimics rock formations and geological mineral veins.
Raw Density Customisation: Supplied entirely dry, letting you choose the exact ratio of mica flakes to paint or gel binder—ranging from a scattered, shimmering morning frost to a dense, solid crystalline crust.
Layered Silicate Structure: The flakes possess a naturally sheeted, uneven geometry that interacts beautifully with ambient studio light, creating elegant visual movement as the viewer changes angles.
Excellent Media Integration: Blends smoothly into heavy-body acrylics, fluid glazes, or structural gessoes without bleeding or dissolving under water-based mediums.
Flawless Ecosystem Synergy: Integrates seamlessly into the entire Matisse ecosystem. To fully preserve the natural transparency and bright light-reflection of the flakes, it is highly recommended to blend them into gloss-based vehicles like MM4 Gel Medium or MM7 Poly Gloss Varnish.
