Acrylic pouring: 4 CHEAPER pouring mediums & showing Paint mixing ratios for Fluid Art

There are many pouring medium and even more opinions. this is my view and my favourite options as well as mixing my own Pouring medium. every paint has its own thickness and therefore needs to be thinned down to the right consistency different. this shows the ratios with the paint I have. some people use water only. you can do that for playing around but I don't advise that. you're breaking up the pigments using to much water.

Hi. My name is Santana Hagedorn ans artist for acrylic paint pouring and fluid art from the Netherlands. This form of abstract and modern decorative painting is done with Acrylics brought to the right consistency with various pouring mediums, oils and additives. By moving the paint layers, playing with different tools or adding heat I create different effects. Very messy and very fun. The Paintings can be don't know canvas, MDF frames, tiles or other flat surfaces. Can also be used to make daily items and gifts unique f.ex. little boxes or ornaments.

My own pouring medium is not cheep with all the ingredients but I still had them. As soon as they are empty I will not add the ready-sold pm. The gloss is not a expensive medium but a very cheap Varnish from our dollar store. You can play around and find your right ratio. I would use floetrol and PVAc 3:1 eventually

[@ajpix]

i'm assuming because it contains pva and floetrol it wouldn't be archival then?

[@PouringArtExperience]

+a. Jones Digital I use PVAc. That's archival. It's bookbinder's glue. And floetrol is archival too as far as I know

Thank you very much, really appreciate your video tutorials, yes knowledge is power. I have watched so many videos and they don't always tell you everything even tho they sound like they are, appreciate your honesty and wanting to share the knowledge. Grateful

Thank you for taking the time to create this instructive and informational video. It answers a lot of questions I am sure many have had. Seeing the mixing up close provides a nice picture of how the mixing parts look prior to actually being mixed and finally the cohesion of them together. Nice touch. Thank you again Santana -

[@PouringArtExperience]

Leanne Crawford thanks so much. That was indeed exactly the idea. Lots of confusion out there about this. Of course it's only a snapshot but I'm happy it helped. Thanks for watching

This is a helpful video!

At last someone with brains. Thanks very good

[@PouringArtExperience]

Pamela Usher thanks a lot

[@jdmosaics]

A lot learnt from Annemarie Ridderhoff I see here....yet no mention of her help? Most paint has binder in it and there is such a thing as over binding pigments....the binder is not needed unless you are adding lots of water. Cheers

[@izzuddinmuhd3964]

Hi, i want ask can i use masking fluid in pouring art? Coz i dont have liquitex to mixing

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Izzuddin Muhd you don't need liquitex. As you can see in this video there are multiple other options. Masking fluid is not suitable. Thank you for watching

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

What does the gloss do, besides adding glossy finish? And the commercial pouring medium? Does that do anything?

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Ruth Ann Molyneaux it's options. My own pouring medium is a personal choice of what works well for me. The other options are also usable individual

[@bibiali2530]

hallo Santana - vielen vielen dank, dass du dir die zeit genommen hast und die mühe gemacht hast uns diese möglichkeiten zu zeigen - gute idee!!!!! bei der ersten variante verwendest du "Binder" - blöde frage - was ist das? was verlange ich da im farbengeschäft? ich habe gleich noch eine frage - in einem älteren video verwendest du bei einem negative space pour alkohol im weißen hintergrund (für diesen wolkigen effekt den ich so liebe...) wie viel alkohol nimmst du da z.b. für 1/4 liter fertig gemischte farbe? ich danke dir im voraus für deine antworten und wünsche dir alles liebe bibi

[@bibiali2530]

ooops die frage nach dem binder hat sich erledigt du zeigst ja eh die flasche auf der alles steht.... bin wohl noch nicht ganz wach *schäm* aba bitte das mit dem alkohol beantworten - danke

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Bibi Ali kein problem. Ich hab ein Teelöffel auf so einen Plastik Becher. Weiss nicht genau wieviel d eigentlich rein passt... Alles Liebe zurück

[@smitatoteja2983]

Hello, I want to know what brand are you using for acrylic binder?

[@PouringArtExperience]

Don't know where you live. I got it from Amazon but it's not available everywhere. It really doesn't matter so much as long as you get the paint to the right concistency

[@chef242don8]

I would prefer to hear some commentaries during the video. Otherwise, informative.

[@alejandraenrriques6383]

Hi, I want to know if I can replace Floetrol for another thing because it's not available in my country. Could it be a varnish? Thanks for the tutorial

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Alejandra JUST Enrriques these are all Pouring medium that work. No issues with Varnishing. Any painting just needs to be cured and cleaned properly. Enjoy

[@alejandraenrriques6383]

Thanks a lot, here it's hard to get some pouring medium. This is a very new technique!!! Thanks again.

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

The PVAc is archival. Means it could last for 100 years, or at least more than 50, but some PVA, like Elmers Glueall, can last a very long time too.

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

Bookbinders glue, PVAc, is pretty expensive too

[@craftycrafter1960]

Seems to get pretty extensive when you need pva, floetrol, gloss, water is it really cheaper than buying a pouring medium?

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Crafty Crafter that is only the DIY. I still had all of it. I demonstrated 3 cheeper options.

[@cielofalconchandani5250]

Hi, thanks for your video.. I am in Mexico please tell me what PVA stands for and also I can’t find foetroll here....can you tell me if I can use something else¿

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Cielo Falcon +Cielo Falcon PVA is transparent Waterbased glue for example schoolglue. PVAc is bookbinder's glue. If you don't have floetrol you can use that. There are also ready made Pouring mediums like f.ex from liquitex. These are all individual options

[@isabellac5669]

Floeterol can be found in most hardware or paint stores; paint thinner!

[@PouringArtExperience]

It's not a thinner. It's a additive and conditioner. Just saying for the purpose of terminology

[@amandahudnall324]

Why do you add the gloss into your pouring medium? I mean, what is the purpose? I’m just wondering as I haven’t seen this added into any PM before.

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Amanda Hudnall it's just a personal mixture. I add it as a counter balance to the floetrol which has a more dulling effects. But I also still had it and when empty it's not something I would urgently buy extra. Varnishing with gloss is sufficient for me tok

[@ambervanzitamore]

What's the purpose of doing all these steps, instead of just mixing your paint with a medium to get the consistency you want? I'm personally just getting into using resin as a pouring medium... If you do it in layers with different opaqueness paint, you can make it look like marble and other glass-like substances.

[@PouringArtExperience]

+Amber Van Zitamore I'm introducing 3 Pouring medium that work fine but are not on the price class as ready-sold pouring medium from for example golden or liquitex. And even with these pouring mediums you will need some water for the consistency needed. I'm familiar with resin but it's also a entirely different process.

[@jdmosaics]

Very interesting but you ended up with a PM that you need to buy all types of products for. Economically this is prohibitive to anyone doing huge amount of paintings. Liquitex Pouring Medium and paint will do what you need. This is what it was designed for...Pouring. The only reason most people are making their own is to not have to buy these expensive Artist grade mediums, hence people using hardware products that are cheaper like the gallon of Floetrol. Anyone worried about putting water in Acrylic paint has to go back and read what the manufacturers say about their products. Most Artist quality paint have good quality polymers/resins in them and can have up to 30% water added without breaking any binders down.

This type of painting is beautiful , but seems to be a lot of wasted paint and very think on the canvas.
