Prepare your colour for smooth, wet-look, craze-free pours by lowering viscosity and increasing flexibility.
What it does
Gives even poured puddles and acrylic skins
Results in a smooth surface, with no crazing, cracking or bubbles
Dries to a high gloss, wet-look finish
Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
Maintains colour opacity
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
For best pours, start with with a tablespoon of Soft Body colour to a cup of Pouring Medium (around 5% colour to 95% medium) and 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 and disappear
Use as a regular fluid medium extender - mix as much as you like into acrylic colour to create the volume and viscosity you want
Crazing and cracking can occur when the flow heights are very uneven so ensure your poured surface is level when drying
To achieve a matte-look pour, a final application of Matte Spray Varnish over a dry Pouring Medium/Soft Body pour will give a smoother, more fluid result than using a matte paint or medium
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
