Highly-rated acrylic medium praised for its excellent quality and value. Customers said it provides "smooth strokes", dries quickly, and offers beautiful matte or gloss finishes. Works well for glazing, layering, and as a binding agent. Some noted a slight yellow cast when used as varnish. Described as cost-effective compared to premium brands while delivering reliable performance.
- Allows smooth strokes & dries quickly allowing you to continue without colour mixing
- After experimenting with other popular brands I find that it is the best
- One thin slightly diluted coat gives a classy matte finish. Love it!
It allows smooth strokes & dries quickly allowing you to continue without colour mixing .
The finish is a soft sheen, nice.
This is my first time using the Glossy Medium & am very happy .
Excellent quality,Moses well with opus essential paint and adds a beautiful finish to my work
Excellent quality: one thin slightly diluted coat gives a classy matte finish. Love it!
Has a bit of a yellow cast when using as varnish but good value compared to other similar products.
I have relied on this product for over 25 years and it has stood the test of time,
a most reliable product.
Worked as expected
I buy gallons of Opus acrylic medium every year and after experimenting with other popular brands I find that it is the best. In my case I use it as a binding agent and appreciate its high tack ability.
Much less expensive than Liquitex and Golden Brands. Has a slight yellow cast when dry but doesn't substantially impact overall colour.
Excellent for layering glazes to create depth and for sealing one colour before applying another colour over top.
Good product for giving paint a nice luscious ease with a brush. Paint stays wet longer and creates a nice shiny finish for end result.

High flow, does the job, similar to other acrylic mediums I've used
Always pleasantly surprised when an opus brand can stand up to the Big Guys….
I asked the staff for help with this concept I had of epoxying gloss photographs so they could be mounted on a wall; it didn’t work. I’m sure this may have a use but it wasn’t for what I needed. There are also no instructions.
Opus Acrylic Mediums
I paint in both oils and acrylics. Acrylics are for masochists and require many special tricks. Mediums are extraordinarily important in acrylics as water causes more problems than it solves, most times so extending time or spread is entirely dependent upon extra medium. I have found Opus mediums as good as any I've used and adding medium allows for the paint to hold a bit more water when covering large areas in a short time. Time is the enemy using acrylics... extenders always cause me more problems than they fix so I use mediums to extend time and spread. Painting with a horizontal canvas can reduce running of thinned paint when covering large areas.
Love Opus Art. Service is great and product never disappoint
Great quality and price. I like the Opus store brands.
I’ll let you know when I start using it.
I use the mediums primarily in collage process and they work great for my process
I have been using this product for a long time and i'm always happy with it!
I have used both the gloss and matte Opus Acrylic Mediums with my work, they are cost effective in comparison to bigger name brands, and they work great for use with the acrylics in my studio. They have mixed tried and true with both the Opus Essential Acrylic line of paints as well as Golden Heavy Body, Fluid, High Flow and Open!
