Professional-grade performance. Earth-conscious ingredients. Now available at Alabama Art Supply.

🌿 What Does “Bio-Based” Mean?

Liquitex Bio-Based Heavy Body Acrylics are the first artist-quality acrylic paints made with over 50% bio-based resin — derived from renewable biological resources instead of fossil fuels.

These innovative paints reduce environmental impact by:

• Replacing petroleum-based ingredients with plant-based alternatives

• Using no animal-derived materials

• Coming in recyclable jars and tubes

• Being manufactured in a wind-powered facility

In short, they’re designed for the artist who wants to make bold work without compromising their values.

🌿 Eco-Friendly. Artist Approved.
🎨 Buttery Texture. Bold Pigment. Zero Compromise. 

🎨 Same Vibrancy. Less Impact.

You won’t notice a difference in feel — and that’s the point. Liquitex’s bio-based formula is tested to match the same thick, high-viscosity texture and intense pigmentation you expect from their professional Heavy Body line.

These paints offer:

• High lightfastness and archival quality

• Thick, brushable consistency for texture and impasto techniques

• Full compatibility with your existing Liquitex acrylics and mediums

You can layer, blend, mix, and glaze with the same confidence — now with a cleaner conscience.

🌈 A Full Artist Palette

The Bio-Based line includes a carefully curated set of artist favorites, including:

• Cadmium-Free Yellow Light

• Ultramarine Blue (Red Shade)

• Emerald Green

• Medium Magenta

• Titanium White

• …and more!

Whether you’re working on canvas, panel, or mixed media, this sustainable line is ready for the studio. See all the colors here.

GROUND BREAKING COLOR. NO COMPROMISES.

As you unleash your creativity, do it knowing that every vibrantly pigmented brush stroke is part of a revolution. With Bio-Based Heavy Body you’re making a positive move towards a healthier planet, while getting the same Liquitex pro standard you expect. As the first ever fine art pro bio-based acrylic, there’s no limits to what you can achieve.

♻️ Thoughtfully Packaged

Every aspect of the Liquitex Bio-Based line has been designed with sustainability in mind:

• Recyclable packaging

• Labels printed with clear eco markings

• Packaged and shipped from a wind-powered facility

Even the packaging choices reflect the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility — something we’re proud to support at Alabama Art Supply.

🖌️ Bio-Based Mediums

These planet-positive mediums give you the same trusted performance—now in a more sustainable formulation:

• Gloss Gel – increase gloss, extend volume and thicken, while extending open time. Or use as a collaging adhesive. 

• Matte Gel – reduce shine, extend volume and thicken, while extending open time. Or use as a strong collaging adhesive.

• Matte Medium – give your paint a matte finish, while thinning and extending its volume. Or use as a collaging adhesive and fixative.

• Gloss Medium – give your paint a gloss finish, while thinning and extending its volume. Or use as a collaging adhesive and fixative.

All mediums are made with bio-based resin, are archival, and come in recyclable packaging.
