Pebeo Crackling Effect Modeling Paste is a heavy textured, ready-to-use, opaque paste to work in dimension and obtain impastos with a crackle effect. It is ideal for a cracked effect that is out of the ordinary! It is designed to help you achieve a crackled effect when used alone or in combination with acrylic paint colours (75% modeling paste / 25% colour). Depending on the thickness of the layer, it is also possible to control the crackling amount.

In addition to the spectacular colour selection for both professionals and amateurs, Pbo offers a wide range of auxiliaries to achieve diverse techniques, applications and special effects. Used alone or mixed with the Studio Acrylic Colours, these auxiliaries were specially designed to inspire your creativity at every painting level. Whether a beginner or a professional artist, the auxiliaries allow you to experiment without limits and prepare you for the world of Mixed Media! Pebeo Crackling Effect Modeling Paste is part of the Pebeo Studio Acrylics Auxiliaries range.

A 100 ml tube of undercoat and a 250 ml tube of the modeling paste are included in the Crackling Effect Modeling Paste.

Application involves an easy two-step process. Apply phase 1 (undercoat) with a brush onto the desired surface in thin coats to increase the adhesion of the paste and encourage crackling. Allow it to dry for about 15 minutes. Then apply the pasty consistency phase 2 (modelling paste) with a painting knife on top of the dry phase 1. It will react with the base to create the desired effect. Phase 2 may be applied alone, or in combination with Studio Acrylics colours (75% Modelling paste / 25% colour). The thicker phase 2 is applied, the more cracks there will be. The drying time can vary from 1 to 3 hours depending on the thickness applied. Clean the tools with water before the paste dries onto it.

The Galeria Acrylics line consists of 60 magnificent colors in 60ml tubes and 500ml Jars making it ideal for art & design students, hobbyists, muralists, decorative painters and fine artists who work on a grand scale.

Although Galeria Acrylics are sometimes referred to as a fine grade acrylic, their high pigment levels deliver professional results with significantly better covering power than many similarly priced brands
