Info
Solid Solutions Acrylic Pouring Medium 1 Litre is a water-based, high-gloss, self-levelling pouring medium for artists who pour regularly. It improves the flow and consistency of acrylic paint for fluid art, helps colours blend and marble, and dries to a clear, high-gloss, flexible and water-resistant finish that does not yellow or dull colour transparency. Add silicone oil for cells, or use it on its own as a high-gloss glaze. Proudly Australian owned and made.

How to use pouring medium
1
Prepare your workspace
Work on a flat, level, protected surface and raise the canvas slightly so excess paint can drip away.
2
Mix paint and medium
Mix 1 part acrylic paint with 1 to 2 parts Pouring Medium, for example 50 mL paint to 50–100 mL medium. Start closer to 1:2 for heavy-body acrylics; 1:1 is often enough for fluid acrylics. Stir slowly until smooth and free of lumps.
3
Check the consistency
Aim for warm honey or pouring cream: the mix should flow off the stirring stick in a smooth, continuous stream without being watery. Add a very small amount of water only if you need extra flow.
4
Pour and tilt
Pour from a layered cup or colour by colour, then tilt the canvas to move the paint. Add a little silicone oil if you want cells.
5
Dry level
Leave the piece flat to dry. Most pours are touch-dry within 24 hours and fully cure over several days, then can be varnished.
