Liquitex Professional Light Modeling Paste 32oz
Liquitex Professional Light Modeling Paste 32oz
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products, Liquitex Professional Light Modeling Past is a 100% acrylic polymer and marble dust lightweight putty that builds form and structure. Dries to a hard, opaque white matte finish, this modeling paste can be used on its own, mixed with color or painted once dry. Gives minimal shrinkage while being used to addy body to paint and create pastel tints. Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolors, graphite or dry pastels. Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality.
Apply with knife or tool. This modeling paste can be tinted with acrylic color to make a colored paste or be handled like a lightweight clay - for best results remove the lid to let some of the water slowly evaporate until you get the texture you want. For sculptural texture, build up in thin layers (each no more than a quarter of an inch thick), allowing each to dry. Dry slowly by covering loosely with plastic wrap to avoid shrinkage cracks. Overpaint once dry with acrylics or most other media.
To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to rigid surface with knife/trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed. To make an absorbent ground, mix 1 part Modeling Paste to 3 parts Liquitex Gesso, apply with a trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed. For flexible supports, ideally use Flexible Modeling Paste but you can mix Modeling Paste 50/50 with Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel. For paper-mache, soak paper in a 50/50 mix of Modeling Paste and Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel. Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments or aggregates.
Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media. Drying too quickly will cause cosmetic (not structural) cracks. Do not use on flexible supports unless mixed with another medium.
Use rigid supports only.
