Daler Rowney System 3 Pouring Medium for Fluid Acrylics, 500 ml

The Daler Rowney System 3 Pouring Medium is a specially formulated additive designed for use with fluid acrylic paints. Its primary function is to alter the consistency and behaviour of acrylics to facilitate the popular pouring technique, allowing artists to create fluid, organic artworks with distinctive cellular patterns. The medium is engineered to work optimally with the high-pigment load of System 3 Fluid acrylics, ensuring colours remain bright and vibrant without becoming diluted or washed out when mixed. Key features of this pouring medium include its ability to create natural, small cells within the paint mixture without requiring the addition of silicone oil, a common but sometimes problematic additive. It is manufactured in the UK using high-quality resins, resulting in a durable, self-levelling finish that is non-yellowing, scratch-resistant, and dries to a non-tacky surface. The formulated blend prevents crazing, cracking, or bubble retention in the dried paint film, and it cures to a waterproof, glossy sheen that protects the underlying artwork. This product is best suited for acrylic painters and mixed-media artists who practice fluid art, paint pouring, or abstract techniques. It fits seamlessly into a studio practice for both beginners exploring acrylic pouring and experienced artists seeking reliable, consistent results. The 500ml bottle provides a substantial quantity for multiple projects, making it a practical choice for regular use. Its formulation supports creative experimentation while ensuring the final dried painting has a professional, archival-quality finish that is both visually appealing and physically robust.
