Liquitex Professional Modelling Paste is a versatile and heavy-duty medium designed for building up thick textures and creating three-dimensional forms on rigid surfaces.

It's perfect for artists looking to add substantial texture and form to their artwork.

• Can be used on its own, mixed with colour or painted once dry
• Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite or dry pastels
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
• Available in 4 Sizes – 237 ml, 473 ml, 946 ml and 3.78 L

How to Use –

• Handling and Preparation - Remove the lid and allow some water to evaporate for a thicker, more workable texture if desired. Use a palette knife, trowel, or brush to apply the paste.
• Building Sculptural Textures - Apply in thin layers, each no more than a quarter of an inch thick, allowing each layer to dry completely before adding the next. This method helps prevent shrinkage cracks. For best results, cover loosely with plastic wrap while drying to ensure slow drying and minimize cracking.
• As a Ground - Apply a thin layer to a rigid surface with a knife, trowel, or roller. Once dry, sand smooth and repeat if necessary to achieve the desired texture. To create an absorbent ground, mix one part Modelling Paste with three parts Liquitex Gesso, apply with a trowel or roller, let it dry, sand smooth, and repeat as needed.
• Mixing and Tinting - Mix with acrylic colours to create tinted modelling paste for specific colour effects. Once dry, the surface can be painted over with various mediums including acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite, or pastels.
• Creative Applications - Excellent for creating sculptural elements and textured surfaces in mixed media art. Can be used for paper-mache projects by soaking paper in a 50/50 mixture of Modelling Paste and Liquitex Gloss Gel, Matte Gel, or Gloss Heavy Gel.
