Jack Richeson 120533 37-Ml Artist Casein Colors, Set of 6

Description

Casein is a quick-drying, aqueous medium the use of a milk-based binding agent, and is likely one of the most durable mediums known to man. Nine thousand year old Casein cave paintings have been discovered in Asia, and later, the medium was used by Byzantine, Roman and Renaissance artists including the Old Masters. In 1933, Casein pigments in tubes were developed by Ramon Shiva who relied on the expertise of the artists who used them to help perfect his high-quality paints. Today, Jack Richeson and Co., Inc. manufactures Shiva’s Casein colors and is dedicated to bringing back the original quality and formulation of the pigments. Known for their versatility and array of capabilities, Casein paints can be utilized to create quite a few effects from the rich opaques of oil to thin watercolor washes. Casein paints may be applied to almost any rigid, non-oily surface such as canvas panel, illustration board, heavy watercolor paper, plaster, metal, wood, masonite, or canvas, or linen mounted on masonite. And they may be able to be reworked or layered repeatedly and be used for underpainting. Because Casein has an exceptional integrity of color and all the time dries to a perfect matte finish, it is unexcelled for art reproduction. The velvety matte finish will also be buffed to a satin sheen or varnished to produce a resemblance to oils. Through the years, Casein pigments turn into resistant to moisture and as history has proven, the medium has a durability and permanence which has easily stood the test of time.
