A matte, opaque preparation of marble dust and polymer emulsion. Dries to a hard yet flexible surface. Use to build heavy textures and three-dimensional forms. Recommended for use on supports with occasional flexing.
100% acrylic polymer and marble dust putty builds flexible form and structure
Dries to a very hard yet flexible opaque white matte finish, on supports that may be subject to some movement
Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or painted once dry
Dries more slowly than other modelling pastes
Gives minimal shrinkage
Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite or dry pastels
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
Use with
Acrylic paints & mediums
Use on
All non-oily, absorbent surfaces
Techniques
3D modeling
Sculptural applications
Mixed media
Paper-mache
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Apply with knife or tool
Tint with acrylic colour to make a coloured paste
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
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
Overpaint once dry with acrylics or most other media
To use as a slightly flexible 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 Modelling Paste to 3 parts Liquitex Gesso, apply with a trowel/roller, leave to dry, sand smooth and repeat if needed
For paper-mache, soak paper in a 50/50 mix of Modelling 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

Write a reviewI had not used modelling paste before, so had a practice on a spare board. I was able to produce various textured affects, ridges and stippling etc. If you put it on really thick it will skin over fairly quickly but can take a couple days to dry right out. It can be put on in layers to build structure to your painting, it can also be sanded when completely dry
brilliant. A really superior product.
This paste has transformed and enhanced my artwork . still learning pallet knife skills but pleased with the results.
