Description

BASICS mediums & Varnishes are developed for students and artists that need dependable quality at an economical price. BASICS mediums are mixed with acrylic paint to adjust how the paint works, feels and looks. They can be used to add texture, adjust paint flow, and alter the working properties of the color.

  • I've always had great results with liquitex, this gloss is no exception.
I love their paints, always excellent results, these cover their acrylic really well and give it a great shine as well. Bonus to the shime it will protect the pottery or painting, etc as well

I used this to seal a painting, and it worked pretty well. It gives a nice clear gloss.

  • I paint with acrylic and this was perfect.
I paint with acrylic - I used to use oils until I realized how much easier acrylic were to use and clean up. Anyhow I had never protected one of my paintings before because I was scared to use this kind of thing. I bought this and decided to be brave and try it. It was a piece of cake. I painted a quick painting to sort of test this on it and it was excellent. I used a plain brush but I think moving forward I will use foam or some other way. On my test painting it was a little scary applying it because it's sort of opaque. But once you brush it, it clears up and disappears. It goes on very smoothly and dries very fast! This will give your painting a bit of a sheen to it - a little shiny. I then used this on another painting of a photograph I once took and this is where I say now I will use a foam brush or another way to apply it. While it went on fine, you can definitely see your brush strokes in it. I did straight horizontal strokes which were even and excellent but you can see it after the fact. I wasn't a fan of that but - it does look ok and protects it nicely. If anyone has an suggestions for how best to apply this to a painting please let me know! ... show more
