Paint and Water Dutch Pour Consistency Tutorial for how to mix your acrylic paints! So i am very aware that i said dont mix ml and grams and i did it anyway! Was not quick on my thinking feet on this one LOL. These of course are all approximations anyway and will vary depending on each brand and color you use. I do no measure in my regular practice. Something else that maybe I did not clarify well is that a scale measures ml in terms of water. It will not give you the appropriate ml of something other than water. Either way, hope you found this somewhat helpful and the consistency test at the end is the best concept to take from this video! Happy painting! As a simplified version you can use the ratio ~ 30:20 paint to water as well.

For this dutch pour technique I use amsterdam paints mostly and some winsor and newton and some arteza. They all hold up relatively well although amsterdam are the best. This does not work well for craft paints or less pigmented paints with poor binders. I do not normally measure my mixtures so this one took me some time. But when i originally started this type of pour i thought i was putting about a third water in with my paints and i realized that it was more like 40 to 50%. So i decided to make this video to help others that have trouble with figuring out the ratios and doing the calculations. I covered a lot so if i misspoke or if there is something i forgot that you would like to add, feel free to drop me a comment in the comment section!
