out under the same temperature and time conditions, with the same amount of DecoArt paint to each other in the cup and the same drying conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Test 1<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Mixing ratio 1 : 1, no addition of water or silicone, various pouring techniques<\/h3>\n<p>I did the first test with the <strong>colors Festive Green, Snow White and Baby Blue<\/strong>. The paint could be mixed very well with the pouring medium. During normal stirring, no air bubbles at all were formed and even when mixed very quickly, very few bubbles were formed, but these dissolved quickly.<\/p>\n<p>For this and all upcoming FlipCups I always layered the colors twice. The viscosity showed to be very good when stirring. After lifting the cup, the color could be distributed very well, but with hardly any cell formation. Remarkable is the very fast &#8220;skin formation&#8221;, i.e. after moving the picture the color solidifies relatively fast on the canvas. This hint can also be read on the bottle of the pouring medium and can be absolutely confirmed by me here. In contrast to other <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/best-acrylic-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>acrylic paints<\/strong><\/a> and media such as Floetrol or vinyl glue, I find this pouring medium to be the fastest in solidification. The total drying time of this mixture is about 1.5 days for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/what-are-standard-canvas-sizes\/\">canvas size<\/a> <\/strong>15 x 15 cm depending on room temperature and humidity.<\/p>\n<p>As there were no cells formed, I tried afterwards to create some cells on the freshly poured canvas with some mini-drops of silicone oil. Unfortunately, this was not possible with this medium. The silicone did not show any reaction and remained on the surface. When dried, many cracks and furrows appeared \u2013 especially in the places where I had dripped the silicone. Here it turned out that rather much paint should drip off the canvas or run down by tiling, because otherwise there is no nice surface. Also the short &#8220;opening time&#8221; of the medium plays a decisive role here.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22008\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc.jpg\" alt=\"decoart inc\" width=\"559\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-768x761.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-610x604.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-480x475.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-880x872.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-30x30.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-160x158.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-inc-500x495.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>With the same mixing ratio and the <strong>colors Santa Red, Bright Yellow, Bright Blue and Snow White<\/strong> I repeated this test but with the DirtyPour technique.

So I can conclude that the Pouring Medium is very well suited for the DirtyCup. Also on the website of DecoArt this technique is shown in the tutorial videos. But also here (without addition of silicone) no cells have formed. Existing mini cells were small air inclusions which burst after the torching.

After lifting the cup, beautiful cells were formed and the paint could be spread very well on the canvas.

After approx. 2 days drying time, minimal holes have formed in the areas of the silicone oil, but these could be evened out well with the TopCoat Finish. The cells have retained their appearance even after drying.

The surface structure is good.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22175\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe.jpg\" alt=\"decoart farbe\" width=\"942\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-610x289.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-480x228.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-30x14.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-75x36.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-110x52.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-160x76.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/decoart-farbe-500x238.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Mixing ratio 1 : 1 (PM : paint), water addition as required, no silicone, Double Swipe<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately I could not achieve any cell formation with the remaining colors in the Double Swipe technique.

As shown in the video from <a href=\"https:\/\/decoart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>www.DecoArt.com<\/strong><\/a> I have poured the TopCoat over the pictures. The milky white liquid has no inherent odor and is rather thick. After pouring the TopCoat along the upper edge I moved the pictures until the whole surface was covered. In principle, the same handling as with a Pour: tilting until the canvas is covered.<\/p>\n<p>Overnight the finish is almost completely dry and &#8220;shines&#8221; with perfect results. As the TopCoat is not really cheap in price, this is definitely compensated by the excellent result and the very easy handling. Since the varnish of pouring pictures (even for advanced painters!) can always be a challenge, the TopCoat is the best solution here. No brush strokes, dents, air inclusions, cracks or similar, but a crystal clear, clean surface gives every work of art the final perfect polish. Even without removing the silicone, the TopCoat has been shown to cover perfectly without repellent effects. It is comparable in appearance to a very thinly applied resin with a beautiful shine and is now my personal favorite for pouring pictures. Even small holes or cracks are beautifully smoothed out by this finish and even let them disappear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22093\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat.jpg\" alt=\"decoart clear pouring topcoat\" width=\"942\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-610x289.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-480x228.jpg 480w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-30x14.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-75x36.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-110x52.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-160x76.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/decoart-clear-pouring-topcoat-500x238.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>I poured along the edge as recommended by DecoArt, eradicated and poured again. Absolutely simple and perfect in the result.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>With the products of DecoArt everyone can successfully start with acrylic casting. The medium price level is absolutely justified for the strong pigments in the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2tkVB30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>DecoArt Acrylic Paint.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ZLLwse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>DecoArt Pouring Medium<\/strong><\/a> can be processed very well and easily. The mixtures with the outstanding colors have proven to be very good in handling and consistency. After pouring, drying occurs very quickly and the picture does not drip for long.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I could not achieve the cell formation promised by DecoArt without silicone. Also the common addition of silicone with the Treadmill silicone oil had negative effects on the surface structure. WD 40 is better suited here.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that DecoArt&#8217;s Pouring Medium contains hardly any silicone \u2013 in contrast to Floetrol, for example. The DecoArt medium clearly has the advantage of a short opening time and therefore the certainty that the picture will not change when drying. The control of the result is therefore given. If you want to cast without cells, this medium is very well advised anyway \u2013 especially for beginners. The high processing comfort is highly recommended for beginners. As with any medium, it is always important to find your own perfect consistency, depending on the desired end result, with a few attempts. However, these products guarantee quick success and wonderful results.<\/p>\n<p>And with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2F9Vn1n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">DecoArt TopCoat Finish<\/a> <\/strong>every picture becomes first class and rounds off the topping off with DecoArt media in perfection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have fun testing and enjoying yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>All tested products were provided to us by DecoArt, Inc.

Zimmer"},"description":"Karin Zimmer lives in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, Germany. Already from childhood on she has been working as a craftswoman, artistic\/creative and very close to nature. She likes to try out different painting and creative techniques again and again. The constant thirst for knowledge is her inner drive. After almost 20 years in the IT department of a bank as an administrator and coach, she now works independently as a wild herb pedagogue and freelance artist. She gives herbal tours, individual and group courses, and (intuitive) workshops in both areas. At the end of 2016, she discovered Acrylic and lets each of her paintings flow intuitively and with feeling. She sees her task in imparting knowledge and in triggering the pure joy of colors and structures in the viewer.
