Casein paints are fast-drying pigments made from milk proteins, and even though they tend to have a glue-like consistency, they can easily be thinned with water to suit your needs as an artist. Our casein paints are brought to you by Richeson, a brand that is known for its vast selection of paints, brushes, canvases, and easels. The Shiva Casein Colors by Jack Richeson are available in a wide variety of colors, though they can also be purchased in sets of six. These casein paints have the wash capabilities of watercolor, the smooth opacity of tempera and gouache, and the richer textures of oils and acrylics. The brilliant color dries to a velvety matte finish, which makes it ideal for illustration work.
Our other casein art supplies are brought to you by Stephen Quiller, a brand known for its palettes and instructional books. The brand has released one book entitled Casein Painting with Stephen Quiller, which acts as a definitive guide to all the possibilities that casein painting can offer. Stephen Quiller is an American Watercolor Society Award Winner who, in this book, takes you through all his own painting processes, beginning with color harmony and relationships and ending with a gallery of his own work paired with quotes from his own journal. If you're interested in dabbling with casein art supplies, this book is a must-have for your instructional bookshelf today!
