Selecting the right paint medium is a critical step in achieving your artistic vision. The medium you choose determines the texture, finish, and overall quality of your work. Oil mediums can refine the flow and drying time of your paints, while water-mixable options offer convenience without sacrificing vibrancy. Acrylic mediums add versatility, enabling artists to experiment with finishes and textures. Watercolour mediums enhance the fluidity and intensity of washes, creating dynamic effects.
