Description
The Matisse Dry Medium is a type of glass bead that can be used to create a variety of effects on paintings, mixed media, and collage. The different methods used to apply the beads produce different results, and it is suggested that they be mixed with other mediums to achieve the desired effect.
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 smooth round glass beads are principally
composed of silicon dioxide. They can be used on paintings, mixed
media or collage. For best results mix with Gel Medium, or Gloss
Varnish and Gloss Medium to maintain brightness. Because they are
absolutely smooth it is suggested that art works using these glass
beads are varnished with either Gloss Varnish and Gloss Medium, to
securely seal the beads to the support. Read more about this medium
