With our Acrylic Pouring Calculator the calculation of the required amount of Pouring Paint is now very easy! You can easily enter the length and width of your painting ground and you will get the amount of paint you need for a covering layer. The calculator also offers you the possibility to specify whether you want to cover the sides of your painting ground or not.
The output values are guide values.
Further influencing factors
An important factor for the required amount of pouring liquid is the viscosity. The more liquid it is, the less paint you need and vice versa. A thicker consitency forms a thicker layer than a more liquid. The values in the pouring calculator are based on an average viscosity. If you want to pour with a very thick consistency, you can add 5% – 10% to the quantity.
Another factor is the surface of your painting ground. If you use a new canvas, which is relatively coarse, you will need more liquid than if you are pouring on an already poured painting. Using the Pouring Calculator you have the guided value for your required amount, which you can correct upwards or downwards based on your experience.

Behind acrylgiessen.com are Martina (39) and Thomas (38) Faessler, a creative couple from Zurich in Switzerland. Artistically active are both already quite a while: Martina discovered her creative streak as a child and has always been passionate about painting and illustrating. Today she works as a graphic designer and art still plays a big role in her free time. Before painting, Thomas was active for years as a sculptor/art turner and created noble sculptures and hollow vessels from burl wood using a lathe.
The two of them came to Fluid Art by chance when it came to finishing one of Thomas’ sculptures with liquid acrylic paint. Once they tried Acrylic Pouring, both of them couldn’t get away from it and through countless Pourings they gradually acquired a gossamer know-how about the Acrylic Pouring technique.
In addition to the original fluid painting techniques, other topics such as color theory and the creation of drawing tutorials were added as an extension.
