Thanks for inspiration. Just starting to use modling paste and stencils in my paintings.

[@hopalongstudio]

You're welcome! That's fantastic! Modeling paste and stencils work beautifully in paintings. Sometimes I mix the color in and other times I paint it on top. There's so much versatility when using mediums.

Is pouring med the same as Matt medium?

[@hopalongstudio]

Great question, pouring medium is generally much thicker and more expensive than matte medium. While matte medium is used as a glue and sealant, pouring medium is often used for paint pouring and for creating even, sealed layers on a piece.
Though both have an acrylic base, the pouring medium will dry very shiny. I've never used pouring medium in place of matte medium, but if that's all you have, I would maybe try thinning it out with quite a bit of water. I'm not sure how it would actually work, I don't know if if would have the right consistency for collage. If you don't have matte medium, you could try modge podge or thinning out white glue as possible substitutions.
