Smooth buttery consistency.
Can be used for screen printing, block printing and painting from impasto to water-colour effects.
 
Acrylic Painting:
-Use straight from the tubes.
- Water is suitable for dilution or clean-up.
- Both gloss and water resistance are greatly improved by additions of Derivan Polymer Varnish to the paint.
 
Poster Colour Effects:
- These are best obtained by mixing the paint with plenty of Derivan White, at the same time adjusting the sheen of the paint with Matisse MM5 Matt Medium.
- Alternatively the finished painting is treated with a coating of one of the Matisse Matt Varnishes available.
 
Watercolour Work:
- Just add water to the paint but mix it slowly to avoid foaming.
- Apply with a soft brush.
- Additions of Derivan Spreader Medium will improve brush control for delicate flat water colour glazes.
- Derivan Drying Retarder is often beneficial as it maintains water sensitivity for washes and at the same time improves flow as well as penetration into the paper.
 
Oil Painting Effects:
- Extend the paint with Derivan Impasto medium for structure and with water-based Derivan Polymer Varnish for increased gloss or desired flow-out.
- Apply with a knife or bristle brush. Derivan Student acrylic washes up in water. For stain removal, wash in lukewarm soapy water.
