I’ve included both Matisse and Atelier acrylic paints because they each have their own qualities, and I love having the flexibility to use both. Matisse is fantastic for its rich colours and thicker consistency, while Atelier offers a lovely smooth, workable paint that's great for blending and layering. Both are quality Australian brands, and depending on what I’m painting, I’ll reach for different colours and finishes from each range. You don’t need to buy both choose what suits your painting style and budget!
