Using spray paint indoors usually leads to a lot of lingering odor and that familiar woozy, lightheaded feeling. Sure, that funny feeling might seem harmless and even a little fun but it’s not good for you so it pays to paint smart. One of Liquitex’s newest products is our water-based low-odor Professional Spray Paint. These new sprays are a water-based technology that helps to keep the odor way, way down. There’s still some solvent present because we need to have a way to propel the paint from the can otherwise all you have is a pretty can full of paint and no way to use it.

Confusion starts because there are many varnishes to choose from and as work becomes more valuable, artists worry that they may damage their painting if the varnish is not applied properly.

There may be certain instances when an artist is not concerned with their work lasting a long time; maybe for a one-time installation piece or possibly they want their work to speak to the temporary nature of all things.
March 2013: Introducing Liquitex Professional Paint Markers
