Liquitex Professional Modeling Paste 8oz
Liquitex Professional Modeling Paste 8oz
Liquitex Professional Modeling Paste is a 100% acrylic polymer and marble dust putty builds form and structure. Dries to a very hard 'stone-like' opaque white matte finish that you can sand, drill or carve. Can be used on its own, mixed with color or painted once dry and gives minimal shrinkage. Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolors, graphite or dry pastels while maintaining paint adhesion, durability and archival quality.
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products. Can be handled like 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. Apply with knife or tool and tint acrylic color to make a colored paste.
Dry slowly by covering loosely with plastic wrap to avoid shrinkage cracks. If cracks appear, allow to dry and fill in with another thin layer of paste. Ensure paste is completely dry before sanding, carving or drilling into. 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 on rigid supports only
