This reduces the risk that the paste will crack after it has dried. There are lightweight pastes available that are designed to work on flexible supports like canvas and paper. If you're only using a thin layer of texture paste, any flexing in the support is unlikely to be a problem.
The concern is really when you apply a very thick layer because the thicker the paste, the less flexible it is. If for some reason, the canvas or paper got knocked or jolted, it may crack. Artists use different techniques for applying paint and modeling paste in the same painting. It really is a matter of personal preference and style, so it's a good idea to experiment to see what you like.
Also, one technique may work better than another for a particular painting. Many modeling pastes can be mixed with acrylic paint. Since the paste is an opaque white, it will change the paint color, but this can be a nice background effect. In most cases, artists choose to paint over top of modeling paste. This may be done over the entire area or selectively if you mixed paint with the paste. Do be sure that your paste is absolutely dry or you will not get the true paint color and may end up picking up some paste with your brush.

Your Privacy Rights. The palette knife itself can also create many different effects, limited only by your imagination! Plastic wrap, believe it or not, generated some of the most interesting outcomes.
You might try placing a piece of plastic wrap flat across the paste and then swirling it around with your fingers; when you pull the plastic away, a crater-like, organic surface is left behind. I find that using a balled up piece of plastic wrap to poke at the modeling paste can also achieve a pleasing effect. Tape can be used to keep certain areas paste-free.
I used Japanese Washi tape, which worked quite well, but I would recommend experimenting with any kind of tape that you have on hand. In this case you will have to lay the tape down first, in any spots where you do not want any paste to appear in your final product. Then lay the paste over the tape with your palette knife be sure to leave a bit of each piece of tape accessible. Next, begin adding acrylic paint to your textures.
Regular acrylics work great, and metallic colors also look beautiful. In addition to white modeling paste, DecoArt also sells black — imagine the beautiful results you could achieve by letting a layer of black paste dry, then layering over it with a textured white surface.
Or you might try letting the paste dry with the plastic wrap still attached. Or perhaps you could use letter stencils to create words. The possibilities are endless with this versatile material.

Very handy, thanks! Tell us more! Deefletch September 26, I enjoyed reading and learning about products with such diverse uses. Beverly Weber December 5, This website gave me a great idea for my art assessment. I am student a senior student in high school, and our assessment topic is about "The Sense of Place". I really loved this website and I think it is the best. Thanks Sarah June 1, Hi Donna - Yes, you can water it down to thin it, but it may have adverse reactions. For examples, it may decrease its adhesive properties and might not take shape as well if it is too thin.
DecoArt June 14, I would like to try a mountain picture, using the paste to build up certain areas. Can I use oil paint over the top once the paste is dry? Can I use a brush to form the mountain crevasses? Thank you Barbara January 22, Hi Barbara - We haven't teated oil paints with our Media Modeling Paste since we don't make oil paints, but that doesn't mean that it won't work.
We suggest doing a small test to see if you like the effect before applying it to a project. DecoArt January 23, Hi, can you use this product on polymer clay? Will this product hold up if baked wet? Hi Theresa - You can probably use DecoArt Media Modeling Paste on clay if the clay is completely cured as we don't know how it would react otherwise.
We would not recommend baking this product. DecoArt January 25, Do you know anything about the medium that dries tacky so you can add foil to it? I don't know what it is called. Thank you for any help!
Gale February 21, Hi Gale - We believe it is called "Foil Adhesive," but we do not carry any specific mediums for foil. DecoArt February 22, I'm looking for a paste that is flexible when it has dried. I want it to be able to bend and be manipulated when dried. Does this paste have that capability or is it not flexible when dried? Donna March 29,
