Mediums, Varnishes & Resins: Extend What Paint Can Do
Mediums, varnishes and resins are the tools that give artists control over how paint behaves, how a finished work is protected and how surfaces are prepared. Whether you're modifying the texture or drying time of your paint, sealing a finished canvas or working with resin for mixed media, DeSerres carries a complete selection of products for acrylic, oil and watercolour painting, as well as primers, solvents and fixatives.
Finding the Right Product for Your Technique
The right medium depends on your paint and your intention. Acrylic mediums can extend drying time, add texture, increase transparency or build impasto effects. Oil mediums adjust viscosity, gloss and drying speed. Watercolour mediums enhance flow, granulation or lifting properties. Primers prepare your surface for paint adhesion. Solvents thin oil paint and clean brushes. Varnishes and fixatives protect finished work from dust, UV and moisture. Resins open up a world of mixed media and decorative possibilities.
