The formula to calculate the Acrylic Pouring Medium (APM) is:
\[
APM = P \times 3
\]
Where:
\( APM \) is the Acrylic Pouring Medium (parts medium)
\( P \) is the total parts of paint
Definition
Acrylic Pouring Medium (APM): The amount of medium needed for acrylic pouring, calculated based on the parts of paint.
Total Parts of Paint (P): The total amount of paint used in the mixture.
Significance: The Acrylic Pouring Medium is essential for achieving the desired consistency and flow in acrylic pouring art. It helps in creating smooth, even layers and prevents cracking.
Example
Let's say the total parts of paint (P) is 10. Using the formula:
\[
APM = 10 \times 3 = 30
\]
So, the Acrylic Pouring Medium needed is 30 parts medium.
