Artists working on unconventional supports, raw linen, wood panels, even paper, rely on this polymer to create stable painting surfaces that won't compromise their work years down the line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden","offers":[{"title":"16 oz.","offer_id":47979112726757,"sku":"22833","price":24.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz.","offer_id":47979112759525,"sku":"44981","price":14.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s22833.jpg?v=1761724165"},{"product_id":"decoart-pouring-medium","title":"Pouring Medium","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcrylic paint straight from the bottle is too thick to flow and self-level properly. This medium transforms heavy-body acrylics into pourable consistency while maintaining color intensity and preventing cracking as layers dry. DecoArt formulates this specifically for fluid art techniques, cells, blooms, and color interactions emerge naturally as thinned paints move across surfaces and intermingle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix ratios depend on your paint's viscosity and desired flow rate, but the medium extends working time considerably compared to water alone. It maintains the acrylic binder structure that water dilution compromises, so dried pours cure to durable, flexible films rather than chalky, weakened surfaces. Works across canvas, wood panels, ceramic, and other sealed substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-leveling properties handle the technical challenge of achieving smooth, even coverage without brushstrokes, gravity and surface tension do the work while you control color placement and movement.
