Hear why resident artist Eileen Ferara loves Liquitex Bio-Based Heavy Acrylics

It’s a formula based on materials derived from renewable, biological sources, instead of from fossil fuels and other non-renewable substances. These renewals come from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane and algae and can be regrown or replenished relatively quickly through natural or farming processes.


Bio-based products positively impact climate change in all sorts of ways – from giving an alternative to petroleum-based products to reducing carbon footprint and supporting biodiversity.


Watch Johny, Liquitex' Research & Development Chemist, explain more.
What’s changed? Typically, acrylic paints and mediums have a resin base made from 100% petrol-based acrylic. Liquitex Bio-Based has halved this, replacing ingredients with ones from renewable, biological sources. As well as the resin, every other ingredient that has a bio-based alternative has been replaced and we’ve avoided any components or pigments derived from animals.


Why not 100%? Getting to 100% bio-based isn’t technically possible right now for an acrylic. With the ingredients currently available, an average of 50% is the highest achievable composition for acrylics that are lightfast, archival and pro-quality - on par with our professional acrylic ranges. But we’re not stopping here. As more renewable options become available, we’ll push further.

I really love this paint.

Liquidex Bio based acrylics

These paints, although quite expensive, are great to work with and true to their colour. In the short time I've used them they have held up to their predecessors. It's encouraging to see a company trying to be more environmentally conscious.
