Brand: Matisse
Rating: 4.9 (8 reviews)

Create the perfect low-tooth base for a variety of media. Matisse Background Colors are made with a combination of high-grade acrylic paint and professional-quality gesso. 

Highly pigmented and lightfast, they can be applied with a brush or roller onto most surfaces for underpainting, home décor, scenic design, upcycling, and more for a flat, matte finish. 

These intermixable, non-toxic paints have a medium viscosity. They’re opaque and cover surfaces in one coat. Apply them to wood to create a smooth, sealed surface. To avoid cracking, don’t apply layers over 0.5 mm thick. 

Mix these colors with Matisse Transparent Gesso to create a colored primer with extra tooth for paint and pastels.

Matisse Background Colors are packaged in recyclable jars. Clean up with water.

Specially formulated to be mixed with Matisse Background Colors, Matisse Transparent Gesso is the perfect primer for paints and other media that need a base with extra roughness, or “tooth”. 

Combine one part Transparent Gesso with two parts Background Colors to create a colored primer. Add more gesso (up to equal parts) to vary the tooth for a variety of media. Apply the mixture to paper, board, or canvas to create a brilliant surface. It also tightens canvas to make the surface firmer. 

Ideal as a primer for soft and oil pastels, this flexible, transparent (though not totally clear) gesso makes paint manipulation easier. It shows little to no brush strokes when applied straight from the bottle.
