Ceracolors Molding Paste

Ceracolors Molding Paste can be added to Ceracolors to paint thickly and to build impastos of wax. Molding Paste contains talc and while its appearance is gray, it can be tinted with any Ceracolors paint. Add Ceracolors Molding Paste to Ceracolors paint for thick, impasto-like applications of paint.

Pastes differ from gels in that they are opaque and may contain calcite (chalk), clay, talc, bentonite (diatomaceous earth), fibers, or other fillers resulting in a white to gray finish with a variety of textures and properties. Pastes can also be used to create textured foundations for painting.

Ceracolors Mediums offer artists unlimited control of Ceracolors water-soluble wax colors. Use mediums to control transparency, viscosity and consistency. Ceracolors Mediums can be thought of as colorless wax paints, as they are composed of the same or similar waxes as are Ceracolors paints. They are the “glue” or binder that dry to form continuous, durable films.
