Liquitex Professional Bio-Based Heavy Acrylic Paint

Liquitex Professional Bio-Based Heavy Acrylic Paint is the world’s first professional grade acrylic paint made from renewable biological sources. Crafted with an average of 50% bio-based ingredients, this innovative range is a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based acrylics, without compromising the premium quality that Liquitex is known for.

Just like Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics, this paint boasts a rich, buttery texture that retains brushstrokes and knife marks beautifully, yet thins down easily with water. It handles smoothly, offering vibrant, lightfast colours that mix seamlessly and dry quickly. Plus, all colours in this range are fully compatible with other Liquitex acrylics and mediums, making it easy to integrate into your existing palette.

Liquitex didn’t stop at eco-friendly paint. The jars are also made from 100% recycled materials and are easy to clean, so you can reuse or recycle them with ease. No animal-derived pigments, like Ivory Black, are used in this bio-based formula, making it a vegan-friendly choice.

Available in 40 colours in 75ml jars, with select colours also in 500ml sizes.

Bio-Based paints are made from renewable resources like corn, soy, sugarcane, and algae—materials that can be naturally replenished through sustainable farming. This reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional acrylics and supports biodiversity. By choosing Bio-Based, you’re opting for a lower-impact, sustainable art medium that doesn’t sacrifice quality.
