Add texture, depth and three-dimensional effects to your artwork with Pébéo Studio Acrylics Modelling Paste, a ready-to-use artist medium designed for creating relief, impasto and sculptural effects.

Part of the genuine Pébéo Studio Acrylics Auxiliaries range, this versatile modelling paste can be applied with a painting knife, shaped while wet and painted once dry. It retains the marks and impressions made by your tools, allowing you to build everything from subtle textured backgrounds to dramatic raised artwork.

Suitable for canvas, cardboard, wood, metal and many other compatible surfaces, it’s a versatile addition to any artist’s or crafter’s collection.

Create Raised & 3D Effects

Pébéo Modelling Paste allows you to build physical dimension directly onto your artwork.

Apply the paste in thicker layers to create:

Relief Effects, Impasto, Raised Patterns, Textured Backgrounds, Sculptural Details & Dimensional Artwork

The paste retains the marks created by your painting knife and other suitable tools, giving you plenty of freedom to experiment with different textures.

Ready to Use

There’s no complicated preparation required.

The modelling paste is supplied ready to use, allowing you to apply it directly to your chosen prepared surface.

Use a painting knife to spread, shape, scrape and sculpt the paste until you achieve your desired effect.

Retains Tool Marks

One of the key characteristics of modelling paste is its ability to retain the marks created during application.

Create ridges, peaks, grooves and sweeping patterns with a painting knife, or experiment with suitable texture tools to produce your own distinctive surface.

Once dry, these details remain visible and can become an integral part of your finished artwork.

Retains Its Volume

Pébéo Studio Modelling Paste is designed to retain its volume after drying, helping preserve the raised effects you’ve created.

Once fully dry, the paste forms a stable textured surface that can be painted and incorporated into the rest of your artwork.

Designed to Resist Cracking

When correctly applied and allowed to dry, the modelling paste is designed to retain its shape without cracking, providing a reliable foundation for textured artwork and dimensional effects.

Always allow thicker applications sufficient time to dry completely.

Mix with Acrylic Colours

Want to create coloured texture directly?

The modelling paste can be mixed with acrylic colours while moist, allowing you to incorporate colour into the paste before application.

Mixing with colour may slightly alter the original colour and characteristics of the paint, so experimenting with small amounts first can help you achieve your preferred result.

Alternatively, allow the modelling paste to dry and then paint over the textured surface.

Multi-Surface Application

This versatile texture medium is suitable for a wide variety of compatible surfaces, including:

Canvas, Cardboard, Wood & Metal

It can also be used on many other appropriately prepared painting supports, making it ideal for traditional artwork, mixed media and craft projects.

Paint When Dry

Once the modelling paste has completely dried, the raised surface can be painted to bring your texture to life.

Use acrylic colours to emphasise raised areas, add shading and highlights or create layered effects across the sculpted surface.

Easy Tool Clean-Up

After working with the paste, clean your equipment promptly while the product is still wet.

Painting knives, brushes and suitable tools can be cleaned using soapy water.

Avoid allowing the paste to dry onto your tools.
