€16.50 €14.99 €1.51 (9%)
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 color or painted once dry
Can be used to add body to paint and create pastel tints
Can be overpainted with acrylics, oils, watercolors, 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 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
