Liquitex - Pouring Medium
Pouring Medium
Transform thick acrylics into fluid paint that pours without cracking
Fluid puddles need to level themselves without crazing as they dry. Liquitex Pouring Medium transforms heavy-body acrylics into flowing paint that spreads evenly across surfaces, maintaining consistent color intensity while eliminating the surface tension that causes cracking in thick pours. The formula reduces viscosity without compromising adhesion, poured layers bond to substrates and resist peeling even when dried to thin films.
Mix this medium directly with acrylic colors to achieve the fluid consistency that pouring techniques demand. Paint flows freely for drips, puddles, and layered pours while retaining enough body to hold patterns as they spread. Dried films remain flexible rather than brittle, adapting to substrate movement without fracturing. Level your surface before pouring; the medium allows paint to self-level into smooth, even layers as solvents evaporate.
Choose gloss for maximum color saturation and depth, matte for non-reflective finishes, or iridescent for subtle shimmer effects. Each finish maintains the same flow properties and film integrity that make controlled pouring possible.
