Acrylic Pouring Medium

How to use?

Bluebird Pouring medium is ready to use however with repeated use, it’s consistency will get thicker (due to contact with air) and that’s when we recommend max 20% water dilution. Acrylics to pouring medium ratio is 80% pouring medium to 20% acrylics. If mixing with water, do it before and then mix with acrylic colours.

Pouring Techniques

1. Ring Pour (Dirty Pour)

This is an acrylic pouring technique in which all colors are poured into the same cup or container and then poured onto the painting surface.

Each color is mixed individually, together with the pouring medium and water. The ratio is approx. 1:1:<1. For better cell formation, two to three drops of silicone oil can be added per color.

The color mixtures are then stacked on top of each other in a container.

Maybe stir just a little bit

Then the contents of the container are carefully poured over the painting surface.

The painting ground is moved back and forth until the paint has spread over the painting ground and the result corresponds to the ideas.
