Liquitex Professional Light Modelling Paste 473ml*

Liquitex Professional Light Modelling Paste 473ml. An airy, lightweight acrylic and marble putty to build heavy texture and 3D forms in situations where weight is a factor.

Key Features
100% acrylic polymer and marble dust lightweight putty builds form and structure
Dries to a hard, opaque white matte finish. Gives minimal shrinkage.
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 overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolours, graphite or dry pastels

How to Use
Can be handled like a lightweight 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
To use as a ground - apply a thin layer to a rigid surface with a 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 the paper in a 50/50 mix of Modelling Paste and Gloss/Matte Gel/Gloss Heavy Gel
