PEBEO Nancy Wood Ultimate Pouring Medium 500ml

Pebeo Ultimate Pouring Medium is a 2 part medium that allows artists and beginners to create the fluid pouring acrylic technique with control. It is a new, unique water-based acrylic medium, that has been designed by artist Nancy Wood with Pebeo. It consists of an acrylic pouring medium and a catalyst, which interact with each other to create controlled and reliable results with less wastage. It is much easier to control than other acrylic pouring mediums on the market. The catalyst produces cells and a lace effect in the acrylic paint.,Kit contains a 500ml pouring medium and 30ml catalyst.,Each Ultimate Pouring Medium kit contains a booklet with instructions and access to Nancy Wood's how to videos. How to use,Before you begin, you will need some acrylic paints, a rigid painting surface that it suitable for pouring acrylics on to, (they will need to be primed first with an acrylic gesso), or a canvas, some paint pouring measuring cups a stirrer and most importantly, a palette knife (a range of sizes and shapes will help produce different effects). To create your fluid acrylics, in a measuring cup, add 10% to 15% maximum, of acrylic paint to the Ultimate Pouring Medium. Use a separate cup for each colour that you want to use. Stir the mixture well. It should have a thick creamy consistency that just flows off the stirrer. If you aren't using Pebeo Studio Acrylics, then you may have to adjust the ratios slightly. Now make the catalyst mixture. Use a very small cup, like a plastic shot glass. You really don't need much of the catalyst. Use a ratio of 40% catalyst mixed with 30% acrylic paint and 30% water. Stir it thoroughly and aim for a creamy thick consistency that is slightly thicker than the pouring medium mixture (it should be pourable from the cup but not drip off your stirrer). If you need to, you can add a tiny bit more water to the catalyst mixture if it is too thick. Make your separate colours in different cups.,It is now ready to use! Simply pour the pouring medium and acrylic paint mixture on to your surface. If you are using different colours, you can pour them on top of each other or next to each other, depending on what effect you would like to produce. Next, it's time to create some cells! Coat the blade of your palette knife with you catalyst mixture (if using more than one colour, add them next to each other on your palette knife). The catalyst mixture shouldn't drip off the palette knife (if it does, it's not thick enough). Now, gently glide the palette knife over the surface of the poured acrylic, trying not to cut into it too much. Watch the natural chemical reaction occur and create the cells / lacey effect with extraordinary results!,You can build more layers of the catalyst / lacey pattern over the top and the original layer below will not move.,It will take at least 48 hours to dry and will dry to a beautiful satin finish.
