How to mix your paints for the perfect dutch pour acrylic pour painting

** please note: when speaking I mixed up the terms "viscosity" and "pigment". Viscosity means how thick the paint is and pigment means how much of the color, or pigment is in the paint. **

In this video I'll walk you through detailed steps for how I like to mix my dutch pour paints. My basic ratio is 2 parts American Flood Floetrol, 1 part paint, and water to thin. I'll show you how I measure...or don't measure...my pouring medium to paint ratio, how I mix and how I determine when the paints are the right consistency to achieve a gorgeous dutch pour painting. I'll also show you how to determine how much paint and water to add for different brands and different thicknesses of paints. Stay until the end to see how I test my mixed paints using the drip test and what to do if they don't match.

I hope you find this video helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions by dropping them in the comments section below.
