In reply to Lydia. You don't add any water to already mixed pouring paints. You use them as is. You only add water if you are using tradtional acrylic paints + a pouring medium + water to get consistency.

In reply to Sue Mcgray. No. The viscosity or consistency of the paint helps the paint not intermix too much. Thicker mixes less and thinner more. The pouring medium and the quality of paint affect that a bit too but not as much as the consistency.

Is something added to the acrylic paint to keep it from becoming one color?

In reply to Dottie. I don't think slow with tilting will be a problem with either thick or thin pouring. So glad you've found an artform you can continue your creativity with.

An artist most of my life at 77 I’ve been unable to continue due to Essential Tremor. I believe Acrylic pour may be a way of creating art once again. Looking forward to my first pour. Do you think a thicker consistency would help with my slower movements when tilting?
Your videos and website are inspiring even if I won’t be able to manage the pours.

In reply to Denise Ellen. Pouring is so fun to do Denise. I kind of envy you that you can be successful with oils and acrylics in the traditional side. Even with some practice I am horrible which is why I took up pouring.
