Pebeo - Studio Acrylic Silicone Oil
Create dramatic cells in acrylic pours or use as a glossy protective varnish
Cells happen when silicone disrupts surface tension in wet paint, creating those organic patterns that make fluid art compelling. This silicone oil integrates seamlessly with Pebeo Studio Acrylics and pouring medium, though it works equally well with other acrylic systems. Add drops directly to paint cups or drizzle onto wet pours, cell formation responds to how much you add and where you place it.
The formula stays transparent and resists yellowing, maintaining the clarity of your color relationships as cells develop. Smooth, glossy consistency spreads easily through fluid paint without creating drag or disrupting your pour setup. Beyond pouring techniques, this silicone oil functions as a standalone gloss varnish when you need high shine without additional texture.
Cell size and distribution vary with silicone concentration and paint viscosity. Experiment with placement: concentrated drops create dramatic cells, while light misting produces subtle crazing. The oil remains workable throughout the pouring process, giving you control over when and where cells emerge before the paint begins to skin.
