I am seeking a texture/sculpting/modeling paste or compound for my low-relief artwork, akin to this piece of inspirational artwork seen here in post by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh in 1906.
It needs to be a brand available in the US. It needs to have these qualities:
Water soluble
Sand-able
Matte
Mixed and thinned with water to varying degrees of thickness
Should not dry with plastic appearance
White, with capacity to be mixed with color
Multiple day workability/storage capacity
I am essentially looking for something like traditional gesso, or Plaster of Paris that has a long-term workability. Most large art brands have acrylic versions that dry with an unmistakable plastic artificial quality. I don't want gels or full-body paints. They are too lightweight, and can't be thickened to have the qualities I need.
I need something I can mix with water to behave as a clay when needed, scrape like Cold Wax with a putty knife, hold shape like Butter Cream icing, and self-level like Royal icing when diluted into a slurry.
Recipes for making one's own texture paste dry and cure too fast. I don't know what to add to extend the workability when stored.
I've tried varying amounts of ingredients for recipes combining plaster, joint compound, white glue, acrylic medium retardants, and paints. Workability is often mere hours, with no storage capacity.
Anything out there I don't know about

Je jette un oeil sur l'tat de remplissage de la bote en cours. Je vais srement fabriquer des botes en papier pour ranger l'une ou l'autre sculptures qui ont tendances se renverser dans la bote quand je la bouge. Je me suis presque dcid sur le format de mes deux prochaines botes. Ce seront probablement 2 grandes botes compartiments. Comme a, a m'en fera trois en tout, et vu que j'ai trois enfants, ce sera plus facile partager le moment venu.
Je me suis dpch de terminer mon espce de moineau color et j'ai fini de remplir la cinquantaine de pages qui restaient du petit carnet dessin que j'ai repris il y a deux-trois mois. J'avais l'impression de faire du surplace ces derniers temps et que la bote en cours n'avanait pas, je me sens mieux maintenant.

'When Brit Art was the It Art'
Remembering when, suddenly, in the final decade of the C20th, in Britain became vitally important again & considering a few high-profile pieces that became emblematic of the movement...
