when dry. This medium maintains no colour shift from wet

colour shift from wet to dry when used with Winsor &
Newton Artists’ Acrylic.

alkyd painting.
- Clear
Gesso
Made from unpigmented clear resin which provides
excellent tooth but dries completely clear. You can make
your own coloured gesso primers by the addition of

suitable for acrylic, oil and alkyd painting. It is also
suitable for making a pastel surface on paper.

- Modelling
Paste
This modelling paste is lightweight and flexible so it
doesn’t shrink or crack. It increases opacity, body
and structure and is ideal for carving, sanding and
building extreme textures. It can be used to build up
depth in layers, and either overpainted when dry or mixed
with colour (due to high opacity may lighten certain
colours). It provides an even matt finish.

allowing the application of areas of flat, even colour
