FAQs

What is the recommended paint-to-medium ratio?

The recommended ratio is typically 1:1, but this can vary. Adjust the ratio based on your paint type and desired effects. Start with a small batch to test the consistency.

Can I use this with any type of acrylic paint?

Yes, it is compatible with most acrylic paints. However, it's always a good idea to test on a small area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.

How do I clean my brushes and tools?

Clean your brushes and tools with soap and water immediately after use. Avoid letting the medium dry on your tools.

What techniques can I use with this medium?

You can use various pouring techniques, including the dirty pour, flip cup, and direct pouring.

How long does it take for the artwork to dry?

Drying time depends on the thickness of the paint layers, the humidity, and the temperature. Allow sufficient time for the artwork to dry completely, usually several days.

How should I store the pouring medium?

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent it from drying out.

Why are cells not forming in my artwork?

Cell formation can be enhanced by adding a silicone additive to the paint mixture. The ratio of medium to paint can also impact cell formation. Experiment to find your ideal balance.

Troubleshooting

Paint is cracking after drying.

Adjust the paint-to-medium ratio. Ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly with the medium and that the layer isn't too thick. Proper ventilation and drying conditions are also important.

Paint isn't flowing properly.

Check the consistency of the paint mixture. Add more pouring medium if the paint is too thick. Make sure the canvas is level.

Cells are not forming.

Use a silicone additive to encourage cell formation. The amount of medium can also affect cell formation. Experiment and find a good ratio for your medium and paint.
