Geting the right acrylic pour paint mixing ratio is they key to a successful acrylic pour. There are many paint mixing ratios out there but here are my suggestions for new acrylic pour aritst.
Craft Paint - 1 part paint to 1 part pouring medium
Student Level Acrylic - 1 part paint to 2 parts pouring medium
Professional or highly pigmented paint - 1 part paint to 3 + parts pouring medium.
You will need to add water after you mix the paints above to get your desired consistency.

Have you or anyone else had this issue? Do you know if other glues have the same issue?

I haven't had that with EG but I am in a high desert so humidity is never a problem. Craftsmart Glue from Michael's is my preferred glue at the moment.

@user-bg7wq4vd5e 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for this fantastic information. It is the best that I have ever seen and heard. Just one question, if you have time. I use golden and liquidex for pours. Do you half to add water and if so how much water do you use? Sandy

@LeftBrainedArtist 2 месяца назад

No you don't. You can just add more of those mediums. However, I have found that I can't get really thin consistency becaue those are both very "sticky" mediums. That is when I do add some water. The amount will very based on the paint and the amount of medium you have added and the thinness that you are looking for.

@AdiArtinFrance Год назад

Hi David, This video is very informative, regarding what you want to do if you want to keep the colors as vibrant and as true as possible. But I am a little puzzled when it comes to adding the consistency factor in the balance, depending on what technique you want to use. What type of pours can you do with the consistencies you get with your recommended mixes, and can you add as much water as you want with every single type of paint you use in these mixes? Is there more risks of binder issues if you add pouring medium rather than water, or is it the other way around, or does it depend on the paint quality? I have another issue regarding consistencies. I tried mixing some french craft paints for a split cup, I wanted a good definition so I mixed them thick. My PM was sometimes thicker than the paints themselves, so I added more of it, but some of my colors literally broke down during the drying process, and sometimes right after pouring them. I didn't try adding heavy gloss acrylic gel instead of PM, though. But how can you thicken your mixes, depending on the type of paint you want to use? I am not talking about fluid paints though, the only type of fluid paints you can get here are the golden ones, and we know they play well with almost every PM thick or thin, and with gloss acrylic gels too.

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

I have a video and a blog post about which consitencies to use for different pouring techniques - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XLhwNGDQo-U.html and leftbrainedartist.com/how-to-prepare-acrylic-paint-for-pouring/ Adding water can reduce the binders in the paint. However, with most student + paints you can add up to about 30/40% water and still have enough binders to prevent crazing (depends on your climate too). If your medium is thicker than your paint you'll have to use water or a different medium to thin it down to the right consistency. I always use water and haven't had trouble with cracking unless I was doing it on purpose or left my paints too thin.

@user-xr9wj8dx7j 11 месяцев назад

Hey there, Love your work and vids. Need some advise on using high flow acrylics such as Golden. Im struggling to find medium to paint ratios for these. I want to use flotrol as my medium but cant find any recipes for it. Thanks!

@LeftBrainedArtist 11 месяцев назад

Start with the amount of floetrol you want. eg. if you want 2 ounces of paint start with 2 ounces of floetrol. Then add color until you get just lightly lighter than the color you want as acrylic paint tends to dry a slight bit darker than it looks wet. Then add water until you get the consistency you want. You always end up having a little more paint than you need but I have found that is the easiest and more efficient way to do this.

@hawkpaul8735 Год назад

Thanks so much for this great info. I'm guessing this is for average use as some methods want different thickness of paint. Or should we use this as firm and then add water to get the desired consistency for what we are doing?

Exactly right.

@tracyblakeley2709 Год назад

Great information😊 Question foe you When you say 5 Oz for covering canvas with paint , how do you figure out how much extra for flooding canvas amount any suggestions ??

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

You take it from your total paint. If you manually cover your canvas for a base coat you can do that with say 3 ounces and then use the last 2 for your flip cup or whatever technique you use. SOme techniques use less paint because you aren't "tilting" off anything or at least not as much like the Dutch Pour.

@LeftBrainedArtist 10 месяцев назад

Liquitex basics? Absolutely a good stdent level acrylic.

@user-bj6is4zc2r 8 месяцев назад

Yes liquitex Basic. Thank you for your help.

@user-bj6is4zc2r 8 месяцев назад

What do you recommend as a Pro acrylic paint for pouring?

@LeftBrainedArtist 8 месяцев назад

@@user-bj6is4zc2r Liquitex basics will work great. A lot of peopl use Amsterdam because of the cell reactive nature of that paint. You just don't want to use craft paint (unless it is the specialty metallic or other more expensive "craft" paints)

@LeftBrainedArtist 8 месяцев назад

The pouring medium is actually way more important. That is what gives you the protection and longevity for the painting in generaly. The higher quality paint the longer the colros are going to last but if you keep your paintings out of direct sunlight any of the student plus acrylics paints are going to work fine.

@catestaid5850 Год назад

You mentioned adding water “for consistency” a couple of times. How much, though?

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

There is not a fixed. It changes with every paint and even sometimes every tube of the same paint. I add a few drops and mix and a few drops and mix until I get the consistency I want. I give a better explanation about final consistencies in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XLhwNGDQo-U.html

@jcarndt1 7 месяцев назад

what about the difference in pouring mediums ? I'm using PVA glue mixed with water 70/30

@LeftBrainedArtist 7 месяцев назад

craft paint 1:1 student level acrylic 2:1 (medium:paint) partist level paint 3+:1

@LeftBrainedArtist 7 месяцев назад

That is a general rule but once you have experience with a color you can adjust as necessary.

@jcarndt1 7 месяцев назад

Thank you @@LeftBrainedArtist

Aw, thanks Geiselle.

@giotaaus9471 Год назад

Is floetrol a pouring medium?

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

It is not a professional pouring medium but it is a replacement pouring medium just like glue can be. So I would say yes to your question.

@kathyziegenmier4009 Год назад

Where does Amsterdam come in?

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

Some colors are like the student level. Some seems to have more pigment and are more like the pro 3+ ones.

@alikijones9314 Год назад

Have a happy New year, just starting following you and trying to get more into my arts and crafts due to circumstances. Thanks for all your videos, will work my way through them. 😆 good health to you and family.

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

Thanks you so much Aliki. I hope you love it as much as I do.

@robertprescott9577 Год назад

What about Amsterdam paints???

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

Some colors are 2:1 and some are more pigmented and can go 3+:1. Just have to experiment.

@LonnieMason-zv9zg Год назад

Can you help me to understand one thing? I have basically quit paint pouring because I'm so lost in this one particular thing. The liquid seems obvious to me when you say 1 part paint to 2 parts medium. What I don't know is how to measure the tube paint. It's a solid. How do I know what 1 part paint is when I'm adding a liquid to a solid? Please, can you help an old lady out?

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

Use a cheap kitchen scale. So much easier to measure. 1oz paint and 2 ounces medium etc.

@LonnieMason-zv9zg Год назад

@@LeftBrainedArtist I will do that. Thank you for responding! I love your videos, by the way.

@sherryramirez6329 Год назад

ok but how much water then?

@valthompson9035 Год назад

As much as needed to achieve consistency. He has a video on consistency which is very good!!

@moonpixyart4562 Год назад

Usually you add a tiny amount at a time until the consistency is where you need it for your particular style of painting.

@auntiehollyd6395 Год назад

Yup they're right. I put some distilled water into one of those 4oz squirt bottles cuz it allows you to add water by the drop or squirt. Just a couple drips at a time then mix slowly and reassess.

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

You've got some great answers already. Thanks for asking Sherry.

@user-gh2im4qy4q 11 месяцев назад

What is consistency please describe

@LeftBrainedArtist 11 месяцев назад

Consistency is how the paint flows. Think water the most fluid and pancake batter as the most viscous. Those are kind of the range we use in acrylic pouring.

@Gretchens 4 месяца назад

How much water?

@LeftBrainedArtist 4 месяца назад

You use water to get to the desired consistency. It will be different for each paint and pouring medium. Ideally you make one paint the consistency you want then match the rest of the paints to that.

@Joy3LastNames 4 месяца назад

I've wasted so much paint doing this wrong. I've used glue and water, I don't like it. I use the Masters Touch Hobby Lobby pouring medium because that's all I have access to in my one horse town. I didn't know much about Flotrol and still don't understand the difference between Flotrol and the others.

@LeftBrainedArtist 4 месяца назад

What makes you think you've done it wrong? Any chance you could send me a picture and explanation at the email address at leftbrainedartist.com/contact ?

@dalialovesdoggies4361 Год назад

BUT!!!!!! FLOETROL creates cells. What if I dont want cells? 70/30 Elmers and water?

@LeftBrainedArtist Год назад

Yes and leave your paints thicker. And let them sit for a few hours after you mix them. And don't torch. Pop bubbles with a tooth pick or something.
