Matisse Background Colour – Burgundy (Series 2, 250 ml) is a velvety, deep wine-red hue perfect for rich underpainting, backgrounds, moody tones, and warm highlights. Designed specifically for creating versatile base layers or tinted surfaces, this acrylic delivers consistent pigment depth with expressive intensity. Packaged in a 250 ml plastic jar, it’s ideal for precise studio work or plein-air layering.

Part of the Matisse Background Colour line, Burgundy features a smooth, high-flow consistency that’s thinner than the Structure range—allowing for effortless layering, blending, and washes. With Series 2 pigment quality, it offers stable colour retention, lightfastness (ASTM I/II rating), and superior mixing compatibility. Compatible with Matisse Flow, Fluid, Ink, and Painting Mediums, it integrates seamlessly into layered and mixed-media workflows.

Use directly as a tinted base, wipe over for tonal shading, or mix with Painting Medium to adjust opacity and finish while preserving the velvety richness of Burgundy.
