Key Features
  • Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
  • Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
  • Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
  • Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
  • Transfers printed images or use as a glue when collaging with lightweight materials
How to Use
  • Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become
  • Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
  • Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
  • This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
  • To fix pastel, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water and apply with an atomizer or airbrush

MEET LIQUITEX BIO-BASED HEAVY ACRYLIC

WHAT DOES BIO-BASED MEAN

Let’s dive in. The resin base of a typical pro acrylic medium is made from 100% petrol-derived ingredients sourced from fossil fuels and other non-renewable substances. For Liquitex Bio-Based we’ve 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.


As well as the resin, every other ingredient that has a bio-based alternative has been replaced and we’ve avoided any components or pigments derived from animals. As more bio-based ingredients become available, we’ll incorporate them.

This is exactly what I

"This is exactly what I have been looking for. I used Liquitex as a student as it was regarded as a high quality acrylic by lecturer. Years later and I am looking for a paint which is less damaging to the environment. I use it alongside watercolour and gouache and find the Bio based acrylic works for me. I look forward to more colours being added but in the meantime I will enjoy using them."
