Arteza Acrylic Pouring Art Kit vs Nicpro Acrylic Pouring Starter Kit
Buy the Nicpro kit if you are starting out or want one box with everything for a pour session. Buy the Arteza 4-pack only if you already own pouring medium, cups and canvases and just want metallic paint. The Nicpro kit is the broader package; the Arteza set is four 120 ml bottles of paint and little else.

What reviewers say
Arteza Acrylic Pouring Art Kit
Owners of Arteza pour paints generally report good flow and strong metallic shimmer, and beginners like that no medium mixing is needed. Some pourers find the pre-mixed consistency too thick or too thin for their technique and note that metallic pigments settle between uses.
- Pours smoothly with little prep
- Metallic colors show clear shimmer on canvas
- Good bottle size for the price
- Pigment settles and needs thorough shaking
- Consistency varies between colors
- Limited color range in the four-pack
Nicpro Acrylic Pouring Starter Kit
Owner feedback on Nicpro pour kits generally centers on the convenience of getting paints, medium and tools together and on how far the medium stretches for small practice pieces. Complaints tend to focus on small paint bottles and on results depending heavily on technique rather than the kit itself.
Questions and answers
- Which kit is better for a complete beginner?
- The Nicpro kit. It includes pouring medium, cups, canvases and a manual, so you can pour without buying anything else. The Arteza set is paint only.
- Do I need pouring medium with the Arteza kit?
- Yes. The Arteza bottles are acrylic paint, not pre-mixed pouring paint. You need to add a pouring medium to get a smooth flow.
- Which has more paint in total?
- Arteza has 4 x 120 ml, about 480 ml of paint. Nicpro has 19 x 2 oz, about 1,120 ml of paint, plus 33.8 oz of pouring medium.
- Is the Arteza metallic finish worth choosing over 19 colors?
- Only if shimmer matters more than variety. Nicpro gives you far more colors and the tools to use them, but no metallic paint.
- Can I use the Nicpro kit on wood and glass?
- Yes. The listing says it works on canvas, glass, wood, tile and stone, and it includes wood slices.
- Which kit lasts longer?
- The Arteza bottles are larger per color, so a single color lasts longer. The Nicpro kit has more total paint and medium, so it covers more sessions overall.
