There are various types of pastes available to choose from and I just love using all the different varieties on my Mixed Media Projects. There are so many different types of pastes to choose from. Below is some basic information that may help you decide what best to use for your particular project.
PASTES
Pastes are made with polymer binder, like mediums and gels, however they have other ingredients added to make them thick and opaque. They are usually packaged in jars or tubes, and can be handled with knives or brushes. Here are several choices I like to have around my studio at arm’s reach, with a list of how I use them.
Light Molding Paste Use as a white paint in mixtures to make tints but keeping colors bright Add to paint to create fluffy absorbent textures Apply to surfaces to increase surface absorbency Apply as a “white-out” over painted areas you want to change completely Add to paint to quicken its drying time
Coarse Molding Paste Same uses as Light Molding Paste except it dries more transparent Apply over painted areas to veil or mute
Molding Paste Use in stencils for relief texture Add to paint to thicken and make more opaque Apply over surface to create smooth slightly non-absorbent surfaces
