surfaces on supports can be achieved by using Lascaux Modelling Paste
A & B or Structura®, depending on the desired absorbency and
texture.

Lascaux mediums and gels, the gloss level, viscosity and texture can
be modified for any desired technique. Finished works can be protected

The consistency of Lascaux Artist is designed
to offer the maximum number of uses. Undiluted, the gel thickness will
allow impastos made with brush or knife to hold their form. Diluted
with water, their high colour concentration becomes evident, showing
vibrancy and purity even in thin washes. When dry, colours become water
insoluble and can be easily overpainted in any number of layers, from
subtle glazes to heavy impastos. They dry to a hard, yet elastic semi-matt
finish.
