Liquitex Basics 250ml Light Modeling Paste

An airy, lightweight acrylic putty to create heavy texture and 3d forms in places where weight is a factor.

What it does:

• Dries to a hard, opaque white matte finish.
• Can be used on its own, mixed with colour, or painted once dry.
• Can be used to add body to paint and create pastel tints.
• Can be handled like a lightweight clay.
• Can be painted with acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite or dry pastels when dry.
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality.

How to use it:

• Fully intermixable with all liquitex products - basics and professional.
• Use on rigid supports only.
• Apply with knife or tool.
• Mix with acrylic colour to make a tinted paste.
• For sculptural texture, build up in thin layers, 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.

How not to use:

• 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.
