Liquitex Basics 250ml Modeling Paste

A thick acrylic putty to create texture on rigid supports and make 3d forms.

What it does:

• Dries to a hard 'stone-like' opaque white matte finish that you can sand or carve.
• Can be used on its own, mixed with colour, or painted once dry.
• Can be painted with acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite or dry pastels when dry.
• Can be handled like clay.
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality.

How to use it:

• Fully intermixable with all liquitex products - basics and professional.
• Use on non-flexible 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.
• If cracks appear, allow to dry and fill in with another thin layer of paste.
• Ensure it's completely dry before sanding or carving.
• 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.
