Description
Matisse Structure is a heavy-textured acrylic paint that is well-suited for impasto techniques. It is ideal for application with a brush or palette knife and creates striking textured effects. Brush strokes are immediately visible, making it particularly suitable for textured three-dimensional effects. YinMn Blue was discovered by chance in 2009 by Professor Mas Subramanian and Andrew E. Smith, who was then a graduate student at Oregon State University. YinMn is more environmentally friendly to produce than other blue pigments, and is less toxic than the cobalt-based blue pigments (Cobalt and Cerulean Blue). However, the pigment is very expensive to make due to the elements that it contains, and this makes it less accessible.

Blue on our blog. 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. Applied undiluted by brush or knife it gives
a rich and deep impasto finish. The colours may be thinned with
water for washes and watercolour effects.
