It works straight from the pail or blended with acrylic colours and mediums to alter working properties and visual depth. Produced in the USA by GOLDEN, this paste is formulated to retain shape while drying to a durable, paintable surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does GOLDEN Moulding Paste change the feel and look of my paintings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsed alone, the paste forms a sculptural layer with pronounced peaks and tool impressions; mixed with acrylics it creates coloured, textured passages without compromising structure.
