Choosing the right paint medium starts with understanding your artistic goals and the medium you work with. For oil painters, the choice between traditional and water-mixable oil mediums depends on the desired finish and workspace requirements. Acrylic artists may prioritise mediums that alter texture, drying time, or sheen, depending on their style. Watercolour painters benefit from mediums that enhance flow, colour vibrancy, or special effects like granulation. Printmakers should consider mediums that ensure even ink application and durability. It’s also essential to evaluate the quality of the medium to ensure it complements your paints without compromising their integrity.
