HOW-TO
STRING GEL + POURING
MEDIUM WITH LIQUITEX
Get ready to take your pouring medium artwork to the next level with
a new technique from Liquitex! Using Liquitex String Gel as a graphic
barrier throughout your piece lends a new level of control not easily
achieved by using Pouring Medium alone. Liquitex Soft Body – the
Original Fluid Acrylic – and Liquitex Acrylic Ink allows for ultimate
fluidity as you pour, draw, swirl and create.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS!
1. Mix 10 parts Pouring Medium with 1 part Soft Body Acrylic
2. Pour over canvas to create an even layer of colour
3. Mix Liquitex String Gel with Acrylic Ink
4. Use a squeeze container, such an as old Soft Body or Acrylic
Gouache jar, to drizzle String Gel onto the canvas
5. Tilt the canvas to create patterns
6. Drop Acrylic Ink within the pattern and tilt the canvas to create
layers of colour
7. Finish with accents of string gel to achieved desired effect
8. Let dry 24–48 hours
