What Ratio of Medium to Paint Should I Use?

Mix the medium with acrylic paints in a ratio of 5% to 50%, as needed. The more medium you add, the more fluid the mixture becomes and the more it spreads.

How Do I Create Cells in a Painting?

Add a few drops of silicone oil to the acrylic paints. When you tilt the canvas, distinctive round cells form in the mixture.

Will the Medium Change the Shade of My Paint?

No. The medium only changes the consistency and fluidity of acrylic paint. It also helps prevent the painting from cracking, air bubbles from forming, and the shade from changing.

What Surfaces Can I Pour On?

Most often, a canvas, but wood and smaller decorative objects work just as well. Always place something under the canvas so the excess paint has somewhere to drip.

What You’ll Create

One medium, endless patterns.

Pouring medium changes the consistency of acrylic paints so they flow freely and form patterns on their own. The same bottle works for canvas, wood, and smaller decorative items. Only the technique changes, not the material.

How to Use

Four Steps to a smooth color effect.

You don’t need any special equipment, just a cup, a plastic spatula, and a canvas placed on a protected surface. Mix the medium with acrylic paint in a ratio of 5 % to 50 %, depending on how fluid an effect you want to achieve.

Mixing

Pour the medium into a cup with the prepared acrylic paint and stir with a plastic spatula. Use a ratio of 5 % to 50 %, depending on the desired fluidity.

Pouring

Pour the mixture onto the canvas. Place something underneath the canvas to catch any leftover paint as it drips. You can pour the shades together in one cup or separately.

Tilting

Turn and tilt the canvas to spread the paint into patterns. For fine details, use a pipette: draw up some paint and drip it onto the surface.

Drying time: 24 h

The painting will dry in about 24 hours. Speed up drying with a heat gun. To finish, coat the painting with varnish or spray for a gloss.

“I was looking for something very specific: a practical tube for carrying pre-prepared flipchart paper. I ordered one tube from Alza and it was useless. Narrow and inflexible. The one from Artmie is perfect.”

“A wide selection and reliability, but product descriptions are not always complete. For example, it would be useful to list the pigments used in professional watercolors.”
