Acrylic Mediums

Made from the same resinous binder used to make acrylics, these painting mediums will enable you to do all of the following:

  • Improve durability
  • Keep your colours brilliant
  • Extend the colour
  • Bring transparency and depth to the film
  • Improve flow and 'brush-ability'

Artists' Acrylic and Galeria have their own ranges of acrylic mediums. However, both ranges can be used together on the same painting and bring versatility and stability along with the dependable quality that artists have come to expect from Winsor & Newton.

For advice on when to use each medium, see our usage chart.
