Derivan : Matisse Dry Medium : 40ml : Ground Marble

Artists will be excited by the varying effects achievable with the different methods used to apply the Matisse Dry Mediums. They provide magnificent textural effects and will surprise artists and viewers alike.

Ground marble (crystalline calcium carbonate) can be mixed directly with paint, to add bulk without changing the colour and while retaining the elements that allow the paint to harden. A white transparent powder, it mixes successfully with any Matisse or Derivan medium. Larger proportions make the paint a little stringy, and this feature can be manipulated to give interesting results. Weathers well outdoors and is suitable for paintings, collage, mixed media, and on collograph plates. Use as much as needed to create effect desired.
