Heavy-Bodied Modeling Paste for Sculptural Texture and Stone-Like Finishes

Liquitex Professional Modeling Paste is a dense, acrylic-based medium designed to build dramatic textures and three-dimensional forms on a variety of surfaces. Made from 100% acrylic polymer and marble dust, this thick, putty-like paste is ideal for artists who want to create raised, sculptural effects with a permanent, matte finish. When fully dry, it forms a hard, opaque white surface that resembles stone—strong enough to be sanded, carved, or painted over with acrylics, oils, or watercolors.

This paste can be used straight from the container to add texture, mixed with acrylic paint to tint it, or applied as a base layer to build depth in mixed media work. It’s suitable for rigid supports like canvas boards, wood panels, and sculpture bases, and is perfect for relief work, textured backgrounds, or even papier-mâché. Whether you’re looking to enhance your painting with tactile form or build standalone textures, Liquitex Modeling Paste offers a reliable, high-performance solution for sculptural expression.
