Matisse Structure acrylic is a rich impasto paint that artists love. Available in 95 colours, this paint is ideal for application with a brush or palette knife for striking textured effects, or combined with the range of matisse mediums for exceptional flexibility of application and finish.
A new pigment has been made available in the raw materials market, currently referred to as Yin Min Blue. As part of Derivan’s philosophy, primarily as traditional “colourmen” in the traditional practice of artists paint manufacturing, we are currently developing this pigment into a new hue of blue artist acrylic, which will become part of and complement the current range of Matisse Artists Acrylics. It will sit alongside other synthetic inorganic pigments like Ultramarine Blue, Prussian Blue and Phthalo Blue. While the pigment manufacturers believe this pigment to be extremely permanent, we are also undertaking further tests to ascertain this pigment’s lightfastness rate. It is important to remember this is a very new pigment, in whichever way discovered, and final classification and characteristics in artistic terms have to be allocated in the process of testing, developing and manufacturing.
