Achieve Fluid Perfection with Amsterdam Pouring Medium 014
Amsterdam Pouring Medium 014 is a professional-grade additive designed to transform the viscosity of Amsterdam Standard Series, Expert Series, and Acrylic Inks for fluid art techniques. This medium is meticulously engineered to provide a smooth, self-leveling flow that allows colors to blend and interact without losing their intensity. By reinforcing the paint with additional acrylic resin, it ensures your poured masterpieces remain flexible and durable, effectively preventing the cracking or "crazing" often associated with high-volume fluid applications.
Key Features and Artistic Benefits
- Optimized Fluidity: Specifically developed to create a pourable consistency, enabling effortless "dirty pours," flip cups, and marbleizing techniques.
- Self-Leveling Properties: The medium naturally flattens as it settles, eliminating brush marks and creating a perfectly smooth, glass-like surface.
- Reinforced Film Flexibility: Increases the elasticity of the paint film, which is critical for preventing cracks as thick layers of fluid paint cure and dry.
- Maintains Drying Integrity: Formulated to integrate seamlessly with Amsterdam acrylics, it does not alter the standard drying time of the paint.
- Customizable Transparency and Gloss: While it affects the degree of gloss for a professional finish, adding more medium will increase the transparency of your colors for sophisticated layering.
- Dries Colorless and Waterproof: Appearing milky white when wet to assist in mixing, the medium dries to a completely transparent and waterproof finish that protects your pigments.
Application and Usage Guidelines
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Adjust the mixing ratio between the pouring medium and your paint or ink until the desired flow is achieved.
- Thinning: If a thinner consistency is required for specific cells or effects, the medium can be thinned further with a small amount of water.
- Tool Care: Keep your creative space efficient by cleaning all pouring cups and utensils with water immediately after use.
- Environmental Conditions: For optimal leveling and film formation, apply at temperatures above 10° Celsius.
- Storage: To preserve the quality of the acrylic emulsion, store in a cool, dry place and ensure the product is kept free of frost.
