Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Australian Leaf Green

Matisse Australian Leaf Green (Series 1) captures the rugged elegance of Australia’s native landscape with a deep, transparent green inspired by dense bush foliage and iron-rich soil. Unlike the vivid emeralds and golden greens of European palettes, this uniquely muted hue is grounded by the inclusion of Naphthol Red, lending it an earthy undertone that reflects the subdued richness of native flora and shaded undergrowth.

Crafted from a blend of Copper Phthalocyanine, Naphthol Carbamide, and Diarylide Yellow, this transparent green excels in layering, glazing, and mixing. Australian Leaf Green shines in landscapes, botanical studies, and nature-inspired abstracts, where subtlety and depth are essential.

Mix it with Titanium White to achieve the soft blue-grey tones of eucalyptus leaves, or blend it with Burnt Umber for deep, earthy brown-greens reminiscent of forest understories. Paired with Cobalt Blue or Ultramarine, it brings moody, shadowed greens to life, perfect for twilight scenes and misty foliage. It also serves as a natural neutralizer for bright or saturated tones, grounding compositions with quiet strength.

With its ASTM II lightfastness, transparent finish, and refined versatility, Australian Leaf Green is an indispensable choice for artists seeking to express the organic complexity of the Australian environment.
