How does acrylic pouring work?
Acrylic pouring is done with liquid acrylic paints.
Acrylic paints are usually rather thick or pasty, so in order to pour them, you have to dilute them first. This can be done in the classic way with water or, even better, with a pouring medium.
Diluting acrylic paints with water:
There aren’t quite as many techniques or options for acrylic paints diluted with water as there are for pouring medium.
This is because the paints diluted with water flow too much; they are simply too watery.
But there are also pouring techniques that are best used with such thin acrylic paints. For example, if you want to paint pictures with a hairdryer, then the paints diluted with water are perfect for this.
Dilute acrylic paints with pouring medium:
You can use most pouring techniques if you dilute your acrylic paints with a pouring medium. Every major paint manufacturer now has its own pouring medium. I personally work with Floetrol from Owatrol, which has the ideal consistency that I need for my techniques.
It also gives the dry pictures a slight shine, so I often don’t have to seal them separately.
I still have some pictures that I painted years ago; nothing has turned yellow or faded yet; this is partly due to the pouring medium, but also to the acrylic paints themselves.
The acrylic paints for the acrylic pouring techniques:
I make sure that the acrylic paints are of excellent quality; a white should still be white even after years and a red should remain red and not fade or bleach.
That’s why I only use paints from the art supply store; these usually have a high level of lightfastness, which ensures that the colors stay beautiful for years.
I use different brands here, depending on the application.
Amsterdam Acrylics by Royal Talens
Paints by Liquitex, Pebeo or Winsor and Newton, to name just a few.
Alongside the painting surfaces, such as canvas or similar, these are the main ingredients for beautiful pouring pictures.
If you want to know exactly what I use, how I calculate the right amount of paint, how to dry my paintings faster and everything you should know about this beautiful art form, then take a look at my online course. There I explain to you step by step in short videos how acrylic pouring works properly.
Acrylic pouring is not just a beautiful painting technique that anyone can do; it is also an often meditative way of painting, very relaxing and always fascinating.
Acrylic pouring never gets boring because the possibilities for working with the paint are almost limitless.
