Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Australian Ghost Gum

Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint (Series 1) - Australian Ghost Gum draws from the natural elegance of its namesake, a native tree known for its smooth off-white bark and spiritual importance in Central Australia. Revered by the Arrernte people as Ilwempe, the Ghost Gum is recognized not only for its striking presence but also for its healing, antiseptic properties, deeply rooted in Indigenous culture and famously captured in the paintings of Albert Namatjira.

Formulated with a balanced blend of titanium dioxide, synthetic hydrated iron oxide, and natural iron oxide containing manganese, this pigment offers a soft, ochre-tinged off-white ideal for both mixing and stand-alone use. Artists value its ability to replicate the subtle tonal shifts found in Australian flora, weathered stone, and desert light.

Perfect for landscapes, portraits, and abstracts alike, Australian Ghost Gum brings warmth and nuance to skin tones, fabrics, and natural shadows. Its opaque coverage, ASTM I lightfastness, and Series 1 value make it a versatile and reliable choice in any studio.
