Bluebird Pouring medium is ready to use however with repeated use, it’s consistency will get thicker (due to contact with air) and that’s when we recommend max 20% water dilution.

Acrylics to pouring medium ratio is 80% pouring medium to 20% acrylics.

If mixing with water, do it before and then mix with acrylic colours.

We try to keep our price range in uniformity across shades, that’s the reason we market in weight instead of volume. This is a 100 ml jar in volume but the paint in it is marketed and filled according to 100 gm. Higher the pigmentation of a colour, higher the weight and hence lower the volume in 100 ml jar.

So our paints range from 75 ml up to a 100 ml in volume of certain shades.

Bluebird Polyurethane Varnish (available in both Matt and Gloss) is perfect for overcoat on acrylic and oil paintings.

It won’t crack or change the colour of the painting if it’s diluted properly with turpentine (mitti ka tail) before application (max 30%). Always recommended to test on a surface first before applying on the final artwork.

We now also have water based Varnish available called Polyurethane Clear Coat. It’s diluted with water and gives semi gloss finish.

For painting on wood our recommended products are:
1) Bluebird Wall Primer Sealer (base coat)
2) Bluebird Gloss Enamel (paint)
3) Bluebird Polyurethane Varnish (Matt or Gloss – top coat)

All the products above are to be diluted with turpentine (mitti ka tail) for better consistency. If the surface is pre-painted, it requires sanding too.

The alternate water-based paints for wooden furniture are called Chalk Paints (Annie Sloan) which is not yet available in Pakistan and we’re currently working on it.

For terra-cotta planters we recommend

1. Bluebird Gesso (undercoat)
2. Bluebird Acrylic Colours
3. Bluebird Polyurethane Varnish (Matt or Gloss) depending on the finish required (top coat)
