U.S. Art Supply Professional Gloss Pouring Medium 32oz (Quart) - Improves Paint Flow & Cell Effects Creator, Viscosity Adjuster for Art Acrylic Painting 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Overview
U.S. Art Supply Professional Gloss Pouring Medium (32 fl oz) is a water-based acrylic medium formulated to improve paint flow, increase leveling, and produce glossy, transparent finishes ideal for fluid art. Designed for artists who work with acrylic pouring, cells, and fluid techniques, it thins acrylic paints without breaking pigment binders and helps reduce cracking by adding flexibility to the dried film. The quart size gives hobbyists and working artists enough product for multiple canvases or practice pours, while the gloss sheen enhances color depth and clarity. Use with silicone or other cell additives and a torch for dynamic cell formation; clean up is simple with soap and water while the medium is still wet.
