But it is still light enough to tear and cut easily to build up layered collages. You can add acrylic paint to all of the molding pastes to tint them. But the pastes are white and therefore they lighten the color that is added. I first build my textures with the molding paste and then paint them with fluid acrylics. This also allows me to blend and glaze with the color, getting a good mixture of color and texture.
My favorite thing to do with molding paste is to stencil with it. You can use either plastic or brass stencils to do this. You will get a sharper definition of your image with the brass stencils. But sometimes, the plastic stencils are a better choice because you get a better integration with the surface.
For background textures I prefer less definition. For textures that I am going to use as a focal point I like the higher definition of the metal stencils. The best tool that I have found for stenciling with molding paste is a plastic palette knife. The handle of the knife keeps my fingers out of the paste and the flexibility of the knife allows me to push the molding paste down into the open areas of the stencil.
I then scrape it over the stencil evenly with the palette knife. Once it is spread evenly over the stencil, I take the side of the knife and scrap off the excess paste.
The only paste then left, is that which is in the open areas of the stencil. The other areas of the stencil have been scraped almost clean. Once you have reached this stage, carefully and slowly lift up the stencil.
You will have a raised image on your paper or canvas! For a slightly different technique, put a small amount of molding paste onto your substrate before putting down the stencil. Then proceed as above. When you pull up the stencil it will pull away some of the previously laid paste and you will get the image from the stencil on top of another texture see Asian Woman collage for an example of this technique.
In addition to stencils I also put push and scrape molding paste through sequin waste and various types of produce bags. Using these things you can get various shapes of texture, circles, square and diamonds. To accomplish this, I use two pieces of paper.
Spread the molding paste on one piece of paper rather thickly. Place another piece of paper on top of this and twist slightly. If you are not pleased with the way that it looks, just do it again!
For variety, I like to coat the paper with black gesso first. Depending on the thickness and type of modeling paste you're using, you might not be able to use certain types of supports.
For most modeling paste, it's best to use a rigid support such as wood or board. 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. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
Oh my gosh, I was SO intimidated when I started using texture paste. Fast forward a couple of months and I am a texturing nut! If it isn't stuck down I am adding a wee bit of texture to it! Okay, this is going to depend on where you live.
In Florida where I live, the fastest it will dry is an hour… if it is thick then I have to wait overnight. There are so many things that this depends on… do you close the lid? Did you put a damp paper towel over the top of it before you closed it up? Or are you derpy like me and just throw caution to the wind and leave it all kinds of open? It is already dry-ish and tends to be super fussy about having it's lid open.
Okay, let's talk chemistry for a wee minute! The manufacturers of texture paste do A LOT of work to get it to the perfect consistency. Inspo School holiday fun: easy craft ideas for kids.
