Acrylic Pouring Paint Calculator - Online Tool

Worried that you might not have enough paint for your pour, or maybe too much paint on your canvas ?  One of my favourite acrylic pouring artists, Olga Soby, has created the perfect tool for this – the online Acrylic Pouring Paint Calculator.

This tool calculates in inches and centimeters for rectangular, square and round canvases.  How cool is that !  Before using the calculator make sure to read the whole article which explains the different factors affecting the amount of paint needed, namely, the pouring technique you plan on doing, if you plan on applying a base layer and the consistency of the paint.

1. Want to save money on your pours?
