MM4 Gel Medium
Description
Matisse Gel Medium MM4
Derivan’s Matisse Gel Medium MM4 acts as the main intermixing medium in acrylic painting when its rich buttery consistency is required for impasto work, 3-dimensional extrapolations, multi-layer work, and heavy, smooth, or textural glazes.
Modern paint technology has facilitated the production of a true Gel Medium. The purpose of the MM4 Gel Medium is to act as a clear transparent colour extender. It is a transparent colour glaze, impasto that adds thick 3-dimensional brush and knife applications. Its prime requirement is to be thick and buttery, whilst remaining fully transparent.
MM4 Gel Medium is perhaps the most versatile medium in the Matisse range because of its multiple effects, particularly when intermixed with other mediums.
It acts as the main intermixing medium in acrylic painting when its rich buttery consistency is required for impasto work, 3-dimensional extrapolations, multi-layer work and heavy, smooth or textural glazes.
When dry, it maintains the structure, brushstrokes and textural effects of undiluted Matisse Structure colours. Its inherent firm and buttery consistency makes it ideal for application by palette knife in order to achieve heavily textured grounds.

Hints & Tips –
Avoid force-drying: The application of intense heat in order to prematurely dry paintings constructed with heavily imposed layers of colours is not recommended – the surface layers of paint can seal off, permanently trapping moisture underneath. Subsequently, the painting could crack and the canvas shrink or distort.
Derivan Matisse Gel Medium dries to a glossy finish.
Glass: Derivan Gel Medium can be applied directly to glass either by itself or with Derivan Acrylics.
Frosted glass finish: If a finish such as frosted glass is required, apply Derivan Gel Medium directly onto the glass.
