Prepare your color for smooth, matte, craze-free pours while lowering viscosity & increasing flexibility. A great option to achieve the Pouring Medium effect & the ability photograph without a high gloss sheen or glare.
What it does:
For smooth, flexible pours with a matte sheen.
Gives even poured puddles & acrylic skins
Results in a smooth surface, with no crazing, cracking or bubbles
Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
Maintains color opacity
Maintains paint adhesion, durability & archival quality
How to use
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
For best pours, start with with a tablespoon of Soft Body color to a cup of Pouring Medium (around 5% color to 95% medium) & adapt to suit your technique
To use with Acrylic Ink or Heavy Body Acrylic, adjust ratio to get your desired consistency
Stir gently to avoid creating foam
- if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise & disappear
Use as a regular fluid medium extender
- mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the volume & viscosity you want
Crazing & cracking can occur when the flow heights are very uneven so ensure your poured surface is level when drying
How not to use it:
Do not shake or vigorously over-stir as this can impact the smooth appearance when dry
Do not use with any non-acrylic media
Use with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic and Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic colours.
