Matisse: Vibrant Australian Paints for Every Artist

Matisse is crafted by Derivan, based in Australia. They are a brand with a rich history of producing artist quality paints since 1964.

Founded with a commitment to creating non-toxic, artist-grade paints, Derivan has grown to become a leader in Australian art supplies. Matisse paints reflect this dedication, offering artists highly pigmented, lightfast acrylics that capture the colors of the Australian landscape.

Known for their excellent quality acrylic paints, Matisse products are made to the highest standards, with each batch carefully tested for consistency and quality. Their unique formulas provide artists with colors that allow for a range of techniques and experimentation.

Matisse Structure Acrylics are particularly popular, designed for artists who enjoy working with heavy body paints. These acrylics hold their shape well, making them ideal for impasto techniques. The Flow Acrylic range offers a softer, more fluid consistency for detailed work and layering.

With a focus on vibrant colors and a dedication to artist satisfaction, Matisse products bring the spirit of Australian art to studios around the world.
