Acrylic and marble putty to build textures on semi-flexible supports and create 3D forms.

What it does

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 modeling pastes
Gives minimal shrinkage
Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolors, graphite or dry pastels
Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it

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 Modeling 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 Modeling Paste and Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel
Can be mixed with acrylic-compatible powdered pigments or aggregates
