Bathurst Ground marble can be mixed directly with paint, to add bulk without changing the colour and while retaining the elements that allow the paint to harden. A white transparent powder, it mixes successfully with any Matisse or Derivan medium. Larger proportions make the paint a little stringy, and this feature can be manipulated to give interesting results. Weathers well outdoors and is suitable for paintings, collage, mixed media, and on collograph plates.

The colour in this image is added to show the texture effects achieveable.
