Liquitex Pouring Medium

Master the art of liquid color! Liquitex Pouring Medium is the essential additive for creating spectacular marbling effects and fluid art on canvas, wood, furniture, or any acrylic-friendly surface. Unlike water, which breaks down the acrylic binder, this medium thins your paint to a flowing, honey-like consistency while maintaining the integrity, adhesion, and vibrancy of the color. It creates smooth, seamless pools of color without cracking or separating. Key Features: No Cracking: Formulated to dry evenly without crazing, even in thicker pours.Archival Quality: Dries to a flexible, non-yellowing, and water-resistant finish.High Gloss: Leaves a stunning "wet look" finish once dry.Extender: Maintains color opacity and extends your paint volume. Mixing Guide: A suggested starting ratio is approximately 1 cup of Pouring Medium to 1 tablespoon of acrylic color (Soft Body Acrylics or Inks mix easiest). Adjust the ratio depending on your desired thickness and transparency – experimentation is part of the fun! Pro Tips: Stir, Don't Shake: To ensure a glass-like surface, mix your paint and medium gently. Shaking introduces air bubbles which can result in a bumpy texture.Level Surface: Fluid art moves until it's dry. Ensure your drying area is perfectly level so your composition doesn't slide off the canvas.Patience: Allow at least 24–48 hours for the work to cure completely.Clean Up: Protect your workspace with plastic, as pouring can be messy!
