A planet-positive way to give your paint a finish, while thinning and extending its volume. Liquitex Bio-Based Medium can also be used as a collaging adhesive and fixative. Characteristics: Increases colour depth and transparency Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow Extends colour further without affecting acrylic stability Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality What does bio-based mean? The resin base of a typical pro acrylic paint is made from 100% petrol-derived ingredients sourced from fossil fuels and other non-renewable substances. For bio-based products, Liquitex halved this, replacing ingredients with ones from renewable, biological sources. These come from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane and algae which can be regrown or replenished relatively quickly through natural or farming processes. At Liquitex, every ingredient that has a bio-based alternative has been replaced and they’ve avoided any components or pigments derived from animals. As more bio-based ingredients become available, they’ll incorporate them.

Fluid acrylic mediums let you adjust how paint spreads, transmits light, and reflects it once dry. Mixed with colour, they can make thin applications easier and increase transparency without relying on excessive dilution with water. They are useful for glazing, a technique that involves applying transparent layers while allowing underlying colours or details to remain visible. Your choice of finish contributes to the result: matte medium reduces reflections, gloss medium adds sheen, and satin offers an intermediate finish. Effects vary with the formula, the amount added, and the opacity of your chosen paint. Follow the manufacturer’s mixing recommendations and let a test sample dry before assessing its appearance. This allows you to compare transparency, flow, and sheen before incorporating the mixture into your composition. To explore other ways of adjusting your colours, browse our acrylic mediums collection. Our mediums, varnishes, and resins selection also includes products for preparing, modifying, and finishing your artwork.
