Liquitex Modeling Paste for Art and Craft, 237ml (8-oz)

Liquitex provides a wide variety of acrylic mediums to spark creativity at all stages of the painting process. One of these options is Liquitex Gel Mediums, designed to add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques and to increase color volume and transparency. The gels dry slower than thinner paint films, offering more workable time, and can modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways while enhancing adhesion and durability thanks to the acrylic resins they contain. Liquitex gel mediums are perfect for adding texture, enhancing color, and increasing transparency in your work.

Another notable option from Liquitex is the Modeling Paste Gel Painting Medium, which is made of marble dust and 100% polymer emulsion. This marble paste can be used to create heavy textures on rigid supports and produce three-dimensional forms. It dries to the hardness of stone, allowing for sanding or carving when fully dry. If the top of the container is removed and some of the water is allowed to slowly evaporate, the Modeling Paste can be handled like clay, achieving a clay-like consistency. It adheres to any non-oily absorbent surface and can be applied with various tools, such as a palette knife, trowel, paintbrush, or cake decorating tips, to produce different effects.

For applications, it is recommended to apply the Modeling Paste in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next layer, and if cracks appear, allowing to dry and then filling in with an additional thin layer. It should be dried slowly by loosely covering it with plastic wrap to prevent shrinkage cracks and applied at a thickness less than 1/4". Additionally, it can be mixed with acrylic colors to produce a colored, tinted paste and painted over with acrylic or oil colors once dry. For sculptural purposes, it can be applied to a rigid support straight from the container or mixed with various gel mediums for flexible support.

Finally, Liquitex's Modeling Paste Gel Painting Medium is a lightweight, non-toxic product that conforms to ASTM D4236, making it safe for educational use. It comes in an 8-oz / 237ml jar and is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums. The dimensions of the jar are 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.7 inches.
