The Matisse Structure Intro Mini Set 5 x 12ml is a pocket-sized, professional-grade introductory collection specifically curated to introduce artists to the rich world of high-viscosity impasto painting. Formulated by Derivan Matisse, this compact layout features five essential foundational colours from the premium Structure Formula range. Ideal for exploratory colour mixing, travel studios, workshops, or testing out thick texture styles, these 12ml tubes deliver heavy-body, crisp handling that holds sharp peaks and distinctive palette knife marks with pure brilliance.
Key Features:
High-Viscosity Impasto Formula: Engineered with a thick, buttery body that holds high structural form. When applied unthinned with a brush or palette knife, it creates deep dimensional textures that remain standing without sagging as they dry.
Pure Foundational Mixing Palette: Comprises a balanced selection of essential clean primaries, an opaque white, and a deep shading black, enabling you to master the basics of colour theory and tonal values.
Artist-Grade Pigment Performance: Contains the exact same archival, lightfast, and highly concentrated premium pigments found in the full-sized Matisse tubes, ensuring no loss in quality despite the miniature sizing.
Flexible and Water-Resistant: Cures to a tough, highly flexible, water-resistant paint layer. It won't crack or grow brittle over time, even when built up in heavy multi-layered configurations.
Total Ecosystem Versatility: Interlocks smoothly with all Matisse mediums. It can be easily thinned with water for transparent washes, mixed with MM4 Gel Medium to increase translucent volume, or fortified with dry texture aggregates.
