Jack Richeson, Shiva Series Casein Paint, 1.25 oz., Titanium White (Pack of 3)

Casein differs from other media, yet it shares many of the same characteristics, which make it a very versatile medium that lends itself to many techniques. Casein has the wash capabilities of watercolor, the smooth opacity of tempera and gouache, and the richer textures of oils and acrylics. It dries quickly to a velvety, matte finish and over time, it becomes resistant to moisture. Unlike oils, Casein is a clean, water-soluble medium requiring no strong solvents. As it dries quickly, it is possible to lay on a glaze and move on to the next stage within a few hours instead of waiting for days, or even months, for oil glazes over oil to dry. Acrylics can become gummy and resinous unless you buy retarders and mediums. It can also gum up your brushes, making fine detail hard to achieve. Brushes dipped in Casein keep their finesse, producing clear, crisp lines. Casein (kay'seen) is a quick-drying, aqueous medium using a milk-based binding agent, and is one of the most durable mediums known to man. Known for their versatility and array of capabilities, casein paints can be used to create a variety of effects from the rich opaques of oil to thin watercolor washes. Because casein has an exceptional integrity of color and always dries to a perfect matte finish, it is unexcelled for art reproduction. Casein is compatible with popular painting mediums including watercolor, gouache and can be used as an underpainting for medium for oil painting and acrylic painting Dilute caseins with water to make washes & transparent glazes
