What do you need for acrylic pouring/fluid painting?

In acrylic pouring or fluid painting, diluted acrylic paints are cast on the canvas using various techniques. This results in quite random results. Every picture is unique.

----------------
1. acrylic paint
----------------

You can use what you like here. Acrylic paints from brand companies usually have a thicker consistency and therefore lower consumption. Cheap brands are often thinner, you need a little more color. These are the bands I mainly use.

Look for what suits you and your wallet. Possibly. you have to adjust my Pouring recipe, which comes down below with your acrylic paint something.

---------------------
2. The Pouring Medium
---------------------
The only pouring medium I used was a 60/40 Glue & Floetrol mix with a bit of water.
The Pouring Medium ensures that the acrylic paint is fluid and pourable. There are now many varieties available. Liquitex is also a good option, even without silicone oil beautiful cells are possible.

--------
3. Water
--------

Only acrylic paint and casting medium is usually not enough, the colour must be made a little more liquid, but I use normal tap water. In the end, the ready-mixed colour should flow evenly off the stirring tool like warm liquid honey.

---------------

4. Final treatment
------------------

If the pictures have dried after about 3-5 days, the acrylic paint will not shine as well as when wet. To restore this shine, use the Pouring Medium. But you can also use a special gloss varnish to create even more shine.

Otherwise, you only need a canvas in its preferred size and a few cups to touch the colours.

----------------------
My acrylic pouring recipe
----------------------

1 part colour
1 part Pouring Medium
1/2 part of water

!!! Important, the canvas must first be primed with Acrylic Pouring Medium or paint otherwise, the edges absorb too much paint.

----------------------------------------
Cast acrylic - quantity calculation
How much colour is needed for his canvas?
----------------------------------------

Approximately 0.3 grams per square centimetre, this is the complete mixture meant. Suppose you have a canvas of 40 x 40 cm = 1600cm2. Calculation 1600 x 0.3 grams = 480 grams of the complete mixture so all colors, pouring medium and water added up.

For a 40x40 cm two-color image, the mix looks like this:

Rounded up to 500 grams so that no later color is missing:

100 g of colorful paint
100 g of fluid medium
50 g of water

100 g white color
100 g of fluid medium
50 g of water

On the bottles is usually a millilitre indication, you can take that in grams, 250 ml color is not exactly 250 g, but the difference does not matter.
