Once the paste is dry, what’s the best technique to use acrylics, big canvas.

I heard it can be used under real gold leaf - to give a more ‘pillow’ look - for example if you are making a calligraphy letter and want to cover it with gold leaf but want it standing proud of the paper or vellum - use this first (purists would use home made gesso) and then the size for sticking and then the gold leaf. But as gold leaf is SO thin I wonder if this paste has any grittiness to it - that would show through the gold leaf - but I guess one could sand it - but it might be a small letter one is gilding so hard to get at with sand paper after the paste dries. ( use 1, 000 girt paper - get at Lee Valley)

I'm about to try using this with oils by layering modeling paste, then acrylic gesso, then oils on top. I'm painting an abstract so any accidental cracking, etc should still look ok.

Interesting that you can use it with watercolor???? also...they are called palette knives! I wish you would actually do a painting to show us.

I'm sorry, I'm confused by your comment that you can mix it with watercolor "after it has dried". Do you mean you can apply wc over it once dried. That isn't mixing to me. Or can you mix it with wc before it's dry and applying it that way with color?
