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. Because they include acrylic resin, these mediums maintain or add to the stability of the paint film, and can be used in any amount desired.

I'm not sure if it would answer your needs, but here it is. Measure your canvas height and width then multiply them by each other to get the square inches. Multiply the square inches by 0.1 to get the ounces needed to cover your canvas. To convert to grams, multiply the ounces by 28. This is only a rough guide as the paint consistency will affect coverage, i.e., the thinner the paint, the fewer ounces needed. **Q: What is the effective difference between normal matte medium and the matte fluid medium?** A: The normal matte medium will only produce a matte effect on the paint. The matte fluid medium will give the same matte effect, but will also lessen the viscosity of the acrylic paint you’re mixing in making it thinner and slightly more transparent (depending on the amount of medium added). **Q: can it withstand high heat ?** A: Yes it will but I wouldn't put it outside in the direct sun. You would need a varnish for that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crystal Clear Protection with a Professional Finish *by C***. on July 25, 2025* This varnish brought my acrylic pieces to life!

Easy to use, no chemical odor, applies smoothly with a soft bristle brush, dries to a smooth, moderately glossy finish. Exactly what I was looking for. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I paint with acrylic and this was perfect. *by S***K on November 29, 2022* 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - Liquitex BASICS Modeling Paste, 250ml (8.4oz) Tube - Qlfecle Portable Mini Titanium Toothpicks Holder, 2 Pieces Stainless Steel Metal Toothpicks Reusable Toothpick for Home Outdoor - Scott® Shop Towels Original™ (75147), Original Blue Shop Towels, 9.4"x11" sheets (55 Towels/Roll, 12 Rolls/Case, 660 Towels/Case) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/126775161-basics-modeling-paste-250ml-8-4oz-tube](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/126775161-basics-modeling-paste-250ml-8-4oz-tube) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
