Linel Gouache Set "Matisse" - 6 Colours
This set includes six 14 ml tubes inspired by Henri Matisse, who valued Linel gouache and worked with Lefranc Bourgeois chemists. It features the six key shades needed to recreate his work La Gerbe. The extra-fine gouache is rich in pigment, with a velvety texture and an opaque, matte finish.
Painting like Matisse: In the 1940s and 1950s, Matisse painted sheets with gouache, cut them out, then assembled them into colourful compositions. Try this cut-paper technique: apply flat colour areas, let dry, then cut out shapes. The traditional binder, natural gum arabic, keeps colours vibrant over time. This set is perfect for exploring 20th-century art techniques.

FAQ
What is Linel gouache by Lefranc Bourgeois? Linel extra-fine gouache is made in Le Mans, France. It uses natural gum arabic from acacia as a binder. Pigments are carefully selected for intensity and finely ground. The opaque paint lets you layer light colours over dark ones. Diluted with water, it produces semi-transparent washes.
Can Linel gouache be diluted? Yes. Water dilution creates semi-transparent washes. Used pure, it produces opaque, matte colour blocks. Dried gouache can be reactivated by adding water.
Which surfaces can you paint on? Suitable for absorbent surfaces such as paper, wood, canvas, and board.
