LIQUITEX Pouring Medium, 237ml - For smooth puddles and pools of colour, graphic stripes, otherworldly effects and wet-look drips, you'll want to try pouring! -- DIRECTIONS Mix one heaped tablespoon of Soft Body Acrylic with one cup of Liquitex Pouring Medium in a large bucket or bowl Use a palette knife to gently and smoothly mix the colour and medium - blend gently to avoid making bubbles and let it sit for 10 minutes for any to disappear Using a funnel, take the mixture and pour it into a squeeze bottle or the applicator of your choice - pitchers or tubes can be used for a variety of effects If you're mixing a custom colour, do it before adding to the medium, to ensure colour uniformity in the pour Place your surface on a level work table and pour the mixture directly onto it in the style of your choice Always work with a level surface to avoid uneven results and surface tearing If your space is prone to dust, cover your work with a big cardboard box or similar, to stop airborne particles settling on the surface and damaging the perfect, super glossy finish Pour evenly over the surface, allowing at least one day of dry time. Two days is recommended for thicker paint films TIPS Create multicoloured compositions in one session, by prepping several colours together. Apply the next colour directly after the first pour to achieve sharp dots or concentric circles Using a palette knife or fork, drag and blend multiple colours across the surface for a marbled effect Turning the support on its side creates thin drips. Play with the movement so that the paint runs down the surface for free-flowing effects Apply additional coats over set layering for interesting colour build-up effects For sculptural applications, create an acrylic skin by pouring onto a glass surface - treat the surface with a mould release or quick release spray for easy removal when dry. Peel off carefully when fully dry; then sew, glue, hang or roll for different sculptural effects Do not mix water into Pouring Medium as you will weaken the acrylic strength
