Bio-Based Heavy Acrylic Set - Explore

Paint with professional-grade acrylics made from 50% renewable materials

Liquitex engineered these acrylics from renewable plant materials without sacrificing the handling properties professionals expect. The formula averages 50% bio-based ingredients, a genuine alternative to petroleum-derived binders, while maintaining the buttery consistency and strong pigment load that heavy body acrylics demand. Colors blend smoothly, hold brush or knife marks cleanly, and dry to the same durable film you'd get from conventional acrylics.

This exploration set delivers versatile primaries and essentials for color mixing experiments. Each paint provides full opacity and excellent lightfastness, performing identically to traditional formulations in wet blending, glazing, or impasto applications. The bio-based binder reduces carbon footprint during production while supporting agricultural biodiversity through renewable crop sourcing.

Liquitex packages everything in 100% recycled pots with recyclable outer materials, closing the sustainability loop from ingredients through disposal. You're working with genuinely professional-grade paint that happens to come from plants rather than petroleum, same performance, significantly reduced environmental impact. The set gives you enough paint to explore the range's handling characteristics across different techniques before committing to larger tubes.
