More recommendations

More recommendations for casein.You are able to take advantage of the rapid drying time with the ease to make changes ,the thick and thine applications, multimedia techniques and the matte finish of this water-soluble paint.  Unlike watercolor and gouache, casein can be applied thin washes or thick brush strokes, and can be modified with casein emulsion. The finished painting can be left unvarnished or sealed with a varnish.  As with any other paint their are certain steps that need to be taken to ensure the best results with casein, those steps include working on a rigid gesso prepared surface and recognizing that the painting takes several days to dry completely.  I follow similar procedures for casein as I do with oil and using the same array of warm and cool color palette of E mile Gruppe.
