Acrylic Mediums

Acrylic Mediums — Extend, Texture & Transform Your Acrylic Work

Acrylic mediums give you extraordinary control over how your paint behaves — altering its consistency, finish, drying time, and texture to suit your technique. Whether you want to create luminous glazes, build impasto texture, slow down drying time, or add an iridescent sheen, there's a medium for it.

• Glazing & flow mediums — thin paint for transparent layers and smooth, even coverage without losing colour intensity
• Texture mediums — add body, grit, or structure to your paint for expressive, tactile surfaces
• Retarders — slow drying time for easier blending and wet-on-wet techniques
• Iridescent & interference mediums — add a pearlescent or colour-shifting shimmer to any acrylic colour
• Gels & pastes — build impasto texture, create relief effects, or use as a collage adhesive
• Varnishes — protect finished work with a gloss, satin, or matte finish

Mediums can be mixed directly into acrylic paint or applied as standalone layers. They're compatible with all acrylic paints and open up a huge range of creative possibilities for painters and mixed media artists alike.
