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.
