Modeling Paste can be used to create a textured ground for painting, for collage, for relief sculpture, etc. It dries opaque white, hard, and stiff. If its applied on paper might be in a thin layers to avoid cracking, in the following painting I used in a selective way and basically to créate the dark-spots background
This is the final result of this process
"The greatest power is often simple patience"
Main steps; Base on the topic, we need to planning, which will be our darkest colors
and mix them accordingly with an spatula, Mix those colors with modeling paste
Once colors ready spray slightly the paper to have a better adhesión (paper needs to be over a stiff surface)
The thickness of painting should be mínimum (because we are working with paper, in a canvas there is no issue with the thickness) therefore with and old and worn brush, we cover the assigned dark áreas mainly, as this is our background before modeling paste dries I added with plastic sponges different textures for rocks and brushes Note.- the color should be not so dark in order to later on paint over it and have different random colors, depending on the brush pressure
After application is dry you colors will be permanent it does not matter how much dampen again the paper surface on those painted spots, that´s why I like this technique
Now you can paint watercolor as you use to; im my case above the worked underpainting I add light colors to combine with color underpainted, and I like to lift color with absorbent paper to give many gradual colors regarding the mist on this scene, and of course you can re-define as much posible with darker tones
Wait to dry and in order to make it better I add additional modeling paste (natural color) to créate wáter texture as foam or other áreas you want to enhance for 3D likeness within this proportions,
Finally I´m layering a Green viridian glaze to uniform the whole painting keeping White tones in just some áreas to represent the light
