Liquitex bio-based matte medium 250 ml

Manufacturer: Liquitex 

Liquitex Professional Bio-Based Medium is an innovative line of painting products that combines top quality with environmental concerns. The matte medium reduces surface gloss while increasing color depth and paint transparency, which can be particularly desirable in some art projects. In addition, the media reduces the viscosity of denser paints, improving their fluidity and extensibility, allowing more economical use of pigments. The product is semi-transparent when liquid, and becomes transparent when dry, giving artists a wide range of possibilities to experiment with visual effects.
The series was created for professional artists and art enthusiasts who want to use planet-friendly materials without sacrificing excellent painting properties. The main distinguishing feature of these media is their composition - half of the traditional resin base, which is usually entirely derived from petrochemicals, has been replaced with ingredients derived from renewable sources such as corn, soybeans, sugarcane and algae. These biological components can be reconstituted or supplemented relatively quickly through natural processes or cultivation, significantly reducing the negative environmental impact of production. Bio-Based media can also be diluted with water (preferably distilled) up to 25% by volume, providing additional opportunities for consistency manipulation.
