Matisse Flow Formula acrylic colours are a vibrant and intense acrylic with a low-viscosity. They dry to a smooth finish with virtually no texture, making them ideal for creating blocks of flat colour and for fine brushwork. All Matisse colours have been specifically formulated to ensure that they will not fade or degrade over time under normal conditions. Each colour has had many years of testing and has been formulated to enable the optimum pigment load with a reliable consistency. The smooth, flowing finish of this paint can also be enhanced with the use of fine natural hair or soft synthetic hair brushes. They are well suited to mural work, acrylic canvas painting, geometrics, hard edge, photo-realism and fine detail brushwork.

Matisse Flow Formula acrylic colours are very versatile and can be used in a variety of techniques. Even watercolour techniques can be simulated quite easily. Matisse Flow Formula can also be used for airbrushing with the inclusion of specific mediums – see the airbrushing section of the technical guide, linked below.

Matisse Flow Formula is completely compatible with Matisse Mediums. Mixed with MM5 Matt Medium, Matisse Flow Formula is an excellent designer’s paint, ideal for flat areas of colour and for work to be photographed. Both the Matisse Structure and Flow Formulas can be used together on the same painting for different effects. The colour range for both formulas is identical. Matisse Flow Formula dries to a satin finish within minutes under normal conditions and does not need to be diluted.
