Description
The Matisse Dry Medium is a type of sandpaper that can be used to create a variety of effects in paintings, mixed media, and collage. It is made of five grades of cleaned sand and has no impurities that can affect artwork. It is best used on large canvases in small quantities, as it is quite heavy.
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. These five grades of cleaned sand contain no
impurities to affect artwork. Use in paintings, mixed media and
collage, or the finest grade on collograph plates. For best
results, do not make the mix too dry. Large quantities on large
canvases not recommended, as this sand is quite heavy. Read more
