Acrylic mediums are substances that can be mixed into acrylic paint to modify its consistency, allowing artists to create thicker or thinner layers of paint as desired. Not only that, but acrylic mediums also offer various finish options. Whether you want a glossy sheen, a matte effect for a subtle touch, or something like a satin finish with a simple addition of the medium, you can transform the look and feel of your artwork, adding depth and dimension to your paintings.
Focus Gloss medium and varnish enhance the natural sheen and luminosity of acrylic paint. Gloss medium also makes paint thinner and more transparent. As a varnish, it protects paintings from dust, dirt, and UV radiation.
Sizes: 30mL and 250mL
Focus Matte Medium and Varnish give the painting a subtle, non-reflective finish. You can also mix gloss and matte mediums together in equal parts to achieve a semi-gloss. As a varnish, it protects paintings from dust, dirt, and UV radiation.

Focus Modeling Paste is opaque white and has a heavy body. It is more flexible than gesso. It can add texture and dimension to the paint, which makes it suitable for stenciling (for journal making) or sculpting. Artists can mix modeling paste with regular acrylic to make the paint thick enough for impasto painting, but it whitens the paint. Size: 30mL and 100mL

A Focus Flow medium is an additive used to break up the surface tension of the water. It makes the paint easier to glide. It chemically changes the consistency of the paint without reducing color strength or compromising the finish. Suitable to water-based paints like gouache, tempera, watercolor, and acrylic.
Focus acrylic retarders slow down the drying time of the paint, giving painters more time to use the wet-on-wet technique. It is important to note that acrylic retarders are glycerin-based and do not contain any acrylic binders. Mix a few drops only with your acrylic paint, a maximum of 5%, and adjust later to obtain your paint's consistency and prolonged usability without overdoing it.
