Matisse Structure 75ml Raw Umber Deep

Matisse Structure Formula is a rich impasto paint that artists love. It is ideal for application with a brush or palette knife for striking textured effects, or combined with the range of Matisse Mediums for exceptional flexibility of application and finish.

The intense, vibrant colours of the Structure Formula paints cover the full colour spectrum, including several uniquely Australian colours. Raw Umber Deep is darker in shade than Raw Umber due to the addition of black to umber. This produces a colour similar to Bistre, a colour used by the old masters as the brown ink in their drawings. It was made by partially burning beechwood and then boiling the burnt wood to extract the colour, the watery colour result was used as ink.

Depending on the degree of burning of the wood the colour could be a yellowish brown but the most prized colour was a darker version much like Raw Umber Deep. Bistre ink can be seen in drawings from the Renaissance, in artists like Leonardo da Vinci, all the way through to the 19th century.
