Liquitex BASICS Matte Varnish, 250ml for Artists

BASICS mediums and varnishes are specifically designed for students and artists who seek reliable quality at an affordable price. These mediums can be blended with acrylic paint to modify its appearance, texture, and behavior. By incorporating BASICS mediums, artists can introduce texture, enhance paint flow, or adjust the working properties of their colors. Since these mediums contain acrylic resin, they either maintain or improve the stability of the paint film. Users can apply them in any desired quantity, making them versatile for various artistic applications.

On the other hand, BASICS varnishes serve as a permanent protective layer for finished paintings. The permanent matte varnish is specifically formulated to safeguard completed artwork. This matte varnish can also be combined with gloss varnish, allowing artists to achieve a customized sheen finish for their works. When dry, it results in a clear, non-yellowing protective layer that ensures the longevity of the artwork.

For optimal application, it is recommended to use a large, soft brush when applying varnish. This technique helps achieve an even coat, enhancing the protective qualities while maintaining the integrity of the original artwork. Furthermore, BASICS products are ACMI certified and conform to ASTM D4236 standards, which confirms their safety for educational use. This certification provides peace of mind for both instructors and students, knowing that they are working with safe materials. Overall, BASICS mediums and varnishes are valuable tools for artists looking to enhance their creative process while ensuring their work remains protected.
