## Description

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.

BASICS Varnishes are permanent and used to protect finished paintings.

Review: Crystal Clear Protection with a Professional Finish - This varnish brought my acrylic pieces to life! It dries to a sleek, glossy finish that enhances colors without yellowing or streaking. Super easy to apply—just a soft brush and patience. It gives my work that final “gallery-ready” polish and protects it from dust and scratches. Great quality, great value, and a must-have for any artist’s studio.
Review: I paint with acrylic and this was perfect. - 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!
