## 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. 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. BASICS Varnishes are permanent and used to protect finished paintings.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work on airdry clay when i make a dish?**
A: After the clay is dry, yes.

**Q: How much Gloss Varnish do i need to properly coat an 18"x24" Canvas?**
A: There is a formula for paint coverage on YouTube that specifies the number of ounces/grams needed to cover a canvas.  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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best varnish for acrylic paintings!
*by L***D on November 16, 2025*

I've used tons of different varnishes for my acrylic paintings and they all had their issues, but this is the best varnish by far! The texture is so smooth and doesn't leave lines! I use a soft camel mop brush. It's got the perfect amount of shine to it and is super durable! The bottle size is great for doing many many projects because it goes a long way! It's thin enough to be workable and doesn't leave a sticky residue after it's fully cured! I even used it to cover some dowels that I made into dotting tools and I can still use a damp cloth to wipe the paint off them without the varnish coming off! I'm going to buy the matte and satin versions too for different projects! Liquitex is definitely the best! It even works for my air dry clay projects!
