Successful acrylic pouring depends on matching the right medium viscosity to your intended finish and technique. These curated sets eliminate guesswork by pairing specific Liquitex pouring mediums with complementary Soft Body colors that work particularly well with each formula.

The Pouring Mediums Trial Set delivers exactly what experimenters need: 4 oz bottles of gloss, matte, and iridescent mediums. Testing all three finishes side-by-side reveals how each affects color intensity, cell formation, and surface character without committing to full-size bottles. Gloss enhances vibrancy, matte subdues shine for contemporary aesthetics, and iridescent adds dimensional shimmer that shifts with viewing angle.

Ready-to-pour sets combine 8 oz medium bottles with three 2 oz Soft Body colors chosen for their mixing compatibility and visual impact. The Matte set pairs flat-finish medium with Bright Aqua Green, Medium Magenta, and Yellow Light Hansa, a triad that produces clean secondary mixes and maintains that sought-after contemporary matte surface. The Iridescent set includes Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Yellow Medium Azo, and Naphthol Crimson alongside the shimmer-infused medium, creating pours with built-in luminosity that catches light across the dried surface.

Each set provides proper medium-to-paint ratios in quantities that support multiple experimental pours. Learn how different mediums affect flow patterns, drying time, and final appearance before scaling up to larger projects.
