Who this list is for
This checklist is for first-time acrylic paint pourers working at home, not in a studio. It’s set up for one person making three small, 8 x 10 inch canvas panels. If you’re curious about paint pouring but don’t want to overbuy or miss something basic, this list keeps it simple and focused.
How to use this list
Start by clearing a flat workspace and covering it with the disposable tablecloth. Set up your rimmed baking tray to catch drips, then place the plastic canvas risers on the tray. Put your three stretched canvas panels on the risers so paint can run off the edges. Use painter’s tape to wrap the canvas edges if you want clean sides. Lay out your fluid acrylic paint bottles, pouring medium, and silicone oil. Mix paints in the clear plastic cups using the wooden stir sticks—gloves and an apron help keep you clean. Keep paper towels nearby for quick cleanups. When finished, move wet canvases onto the cardboard drying board.
Common mistakes
Don’t skip the baking tray or risers—paint will run everywhere if you do. Avoid using regular acrylics without pouring medium; they’re too thick. Beginners sometimes forget gloves, making cleanup a hassle. Also, don’t pour leftover paint down the drain; let it dry out on a towel and toss it.
What is on this list
You’ll need three stretched canvas panels, four bottles of fluid acrylic paint, a 16-ounce pouring medium, and a small bottle of silicone oil. The list also includes twelve clear plastic mixing cups and twelve wooden stir sticks for mixing. For prep and cleanup: nitrile gloves, an apron, a disposable tablecloth, paper towels, and a cardboard drying board. Use the rimmed baking tray and plastic canvas risers to set up your workspace. Painter’s tape is optional for neat canvas edges. Cross off anything you already own.
After you finish
Let your panels dry flat on the cardboard drying board for at least 24 hours. Clean up any drips from the baking tray and toss disposable items. Store leftover paint and pouring medium tightly sealed. Wipe down your tools if you plan to reuse them. Double-check your workspace for stray paint before putting everything away.
