“I’ve used caseins for over 30 years because I love the unique velvety opaque and translucent visual qualities it offers. On many of my paintings I will work a luminous transparent acrylic underlayer and build the casein opaque and translucent layers over the acrylic. The combination of visual qualities is absolutely beautiful!” --
STEPHEN QUILLER, on painting with casein
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. 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 & Co., Inc. manufactures Shiva’s Casein Colors and has brought back the original quality and formulation of the pigments.
