When selecting a paint medium, it’s important to consider your preferred medium, desired effects, and working environment. For oil painters, traditional mediums offer rich finishes but may require ventilation due to solvents, while water-mixable oils provide a safer, convenient alternative. Acrylic artists should assess whether they need mediums to slow drying, build texture, or enhance gloss. Watercolour painters often look for mediums that control flow or add vibrancy to their washes. It’s also crucial to evaluate the compatibility of the medium with your paints and techniques. By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a medium that complements your creative goals and elevates your work.
