Did you know you can use Liquitex Pouring medium as a background for an acrylic painting? With a few simple tricks you can create something both realistic and abstract!
- Make sure you let your pouring medium portion dry for at least 3 days before you paint your subject over it.
- Use a glazing medium instead of water to thin your acrylic paints so that the paint will bind to the pouring medium. If you thin the paints with water, it won’t stick!
- Use a high gloss varnish over the finished painting to even out the gloss between the subject and the pouring medium.
