Painting by - Stephen Quiller<br />

“I’ve used caseins for over 30 years<br />

because I love the unique velvety<br />

opaque and translucent visual qualities<br />

it offers. On many of my paintings<br />

I will work a luminous transparent<br />

acrylic underlayer and build the casein<br />

opaque and translucent layers over<br />

the acrylic. The combination of visual<br />

qualities is absolutely beautiful!”<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> and Water Media<br />

Internationally known artist, author<br />

and workshop instructor Stephen<br />

Quiller has made his mark exploring<br />

the limitless opportunities of mixed<br />

media in works that can be described<br />

as a contemporary blend of abstract<br />

and representational.<br />

“I started out painting in a more<br />

traditional way with transparent<br />

watercolor,” explains Quiller, “but I<br />

found it limited my options. I began<br />

to explore other water-based paints,<br />

and over time, I discovered a<br />

combination of media helped me<br />

better capture the spiritual essence<br />

of the landscapes I was painting.<br />

“I work with acrylics, casein, watercolor,<br />

and gouache because they’re<br />

compatible, yet have different characteristics<br />

that lend themselves to<br />

different aspects of a painting. I use<br />

casein because I love its velvety<br />

matte qualities and I find it’s the<br />

perfect medium for depicting the low<br />

winter light in the mountains around<br />

my gallery and home in Colorado.”<br />

An intuitive artist, Stephen Quiller<br />

participates in the act of painting<br />

rather than trying to dominate it.<br />

He allows the subject matter to<br />

speak to him as he progresses<br />

and tell him which media will<br />

work best at any given stage in<br />

his paintings.<br />

Quiller often does plein air paintings,<br />

but for the pieces he’ll work<br />

on later, he makes bold drawings<br />

in black crayon and makes notes<br />

about color and values. Then back<br />

in his studio, Quiller sets to work<br />

on 300lb. <strong>Richeson</strong> Premium<br />

watercolor paper.<br />

“When approaching a casein and<br />

acrylic painting, I usually begin<br />

with acrylics because when used<br />

transparently, they have a rich,<br />

vibrant glow and hold their intensity<br />

after they dry.<br />

“I tone my paper with thin<br />

luminous washes that tint the<br />

paper, rather than sealing it, so<br />

that when I come in with casein,<br />

the casein will bind to the paper.<br />

As I progress through the painting, I<br />

leave areas of the acrylic underpainting<br />

exposed so that I can use casein<br />

opaquely to diffuse the acrylic and<br />

create a cloudy veil. If I want I can<br />

also use casein for translucent<br />

layers, light over dark. Normally, I<br />

work with complementary colors,<br />

cool over warm or vice versa.”<br />

Although Quiller normally paints on<br />

watercolor paper, he’s recently been<br />

experimenting with textured hardboard,<br />

a relatively new painting surface<br />

consisting of a hardwood panel<br />

coated with ph neutral and acid<br />

free absorbent kaolin clay ground.<br />

“I find hardboard responds well to<br />

all the water media I use including<br />

casein and it has a beautiful visual<br />

quality that’s all its own. Another<br />

advantage for water media painters<br />

is that hardboard can be varnished<br />

and shown without glass.”<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> <strong><strong>Art</strong>ist</strong> <strong>Colors</strong><br />

Q: Can I paint on canvas with casein?<br />

A: <strong>Casein</strong> can be used on canvas,<br />

although only in very thin application.<br />

Since <strong>Casein</strong> in its cured state can<br />

be brittle, we recommend that artists<br />

paint on rigid surfaces. If you want the<br />

texture of paint on canvas, mounting<br />

the canvas on wood or panel is the best<br />

solution.<br />

Q: What other surfaces can I paint on<br />

using casein?<br />

A: Just about anything! <strong>Casein</strong> can be<br />

used on interior walls, metal, wood, laminates,<br />

metal, glass or ceramics. Clean<br />

the surface thoroughly and on walls,<br />

metal, wood or laminates, “prime” the<br />

surface with a couple layers of gesso<br />

or a PVA glue such as Weldbond (mix<br />

50/50 with water). For slick surfaces<br />

like glass, ceramics or metal, use denatured<br />

alcohol to thoroughly clean the<br />

surface. You can then prime the surface<br />

with a PVA & water solution as above.<br />

Q: What kind of watercolor paper<br />

is recommended for casein?<br />

A: Again, rigidity counts! You can paint<br />

on 140lb. watercolor paper if the painting<br />

will be properly framed shortly after<br />

completion. 300 lb. paper is a much<br />

better choice because of its stiffness<br />

– and properly varnished and cradled<br />

could even be framed without glass.<br />

Q: What should I use for a palette?<br />

A: Because casein will stain plastic palettes,<br />

a butcher tray, porcelain tray or<br />

a glass surface backed with a mid-tone<br />

gray paper provides an excellent mixing<br />

surface. Alternately, a disposable paper<br />

palette can be used for its convenience<br />

and ease of clean up.<br />

Q: Can I keep casein from drying<br />

on my palette?<br />

A: Keep a spray bottle of water handy<br />

and spritz the paint on your palette<br />

periodically. Covering your palette with<br />

plastic wrap (after spritzing) and putting<br />

it in your fridge overnight will keep it<br />

especially fresh. One can avoid the drying<br />

issues entirely by only squeezing out<br />

approximately as much paint as will be<br />

used at one time.<br />

Q: What grounds can I paint on?<br />

A: Rabbit skin glue, PVA glue and acrylic<br />

gesso. Just make sure there’s no oil on<br />

the grounds.<br />

Q: What kind of brushes work best<br />

with casein and what is the best way<br />

to clean them?<br />

A: <strong>Casein</strong>, like acrylic, can be rough on<br />

brushes if you don’t take good care of<br />

them! Its heavy consistency can also<br />

be an issue. Use bristle brushes or<br />

synthetic soft hair, but never use one<br />

made from sable! As with any painting<br />

medium, use the end of the brush head<br />

to pick up and apply paint: Paint getting<br />

into the ferrule of the brush can damage<br />

it! Keep your used brushes in a<br />

brush washer with the heads immersed<br />

in water until you clean them with water<br />

and dish soap. For especially stubborn<br />

colors, add a bit of ammonia to the<br />

soap before washing. Rinse very well,<br />

and be sure to “snap” your brush back<br />

to its original shape before setting it out<br />

to dry. Brush cleaners and conditioners<br />

also work well and are another way to<br />

keep your brushes usable for years to<br />

come.<br />

Q: How do I prepare a casein<br />

painting for hanging?<br />

A: You have several choices, depending<br />

on the painting surface you’ve chosen.<br />

If you’ve used paper, you should mount,<br />

matte and frame as you would a watercolor.<br />

If you’ve used a surface such as<br />

panel, wood, glass, etc., you can choose<br />

to let the casein cure for 2-3 weeks and<br />

then hand-buff with a clean, lint-free<br />

cotton cloth to bring up a satin sheen<br />

that will serve as the final surface of<br />

the painting. You may also choose to<br />

varnish a casein painting. Using a gloss<br />

varnish will produce a finish similar to<br />

that of an oil painting.<br />

Q: What about varnish?<br />

A. Varnish is a matter of preference.<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> Varnish or a gloss<br />

varnish intensifies the color. Using a<br />

matte acrylic varnish will preserve that<br />

“authentic casein” look. Wait until the<br />

surface has cured 2-3 weeks and no<br />

longer reconstitutes with water and then<br />

apply the varnish in the same manner<br />

as you would for an acrylic or oil painting<br />

(spray or airbrush application will<br />

help you avoid brush marks). If you<br />

don’t have time to wait, you can use a<br />

spray varnish (applied in light coats in<br />

a well-ventilated area) within a day of<br />

the painting being dry to the touch. The<br />

casein will continue to cure even when<br />

varnished in this manner. Be sure to<br />

follow the manufacturer’s safety recommendations<br />

when using varnish.<br />

Q: Are caseins archival?<br />

A. Yes, properly done and with a protective<br />

varnish, caseins can last longer<br />

than oils, especially oils on canvas.<br />

They also will not crack or yellow.<br />

Q: How should I apply caseins?<br />

A: You have a myriad of choices!<br />

You can apply casein “juicy” like watercolors,<br />

impasto like oils, or anything<br />

in between. A rigid surface, such as a<br />

canvas panel, is critical when applying<br />

casein thickly (to prevent cracking if the<br />

surface is flexed). You can use a painting<br />

knife, brushes, cloth or even your<br />

fingers to apply casein to your surface.<br />

Q: Are casein paints transparent?<br />

A: The degree of opacity varies from<br />

color to color, with white being opaque<br />

and affecting the opacity of other colors<br />

it’s mixed with. When you make your<br />

color chart, include a section for each<br />

color combination to be applied over a<br />

strip of a mid-tone gray. By doing this,<br />

you create an opacity reference.<br />

Q: Do casein colors mix like other<br />

paints?<br />

A: Yes! Wet casein does look about a<br />

shade darker than it will when it dries.<br />

Get to know the paint by making yourself<br />

a color-mixing chart (a good idea no<br />

matter what medium you are using!).<br />

Q: Can I mix casein with other<br />

mediums?<br />

A: Yes you can! Use casein over watercolor<br />

or gouache or as an underpainting<br />

for acrylic, pastel or oils. If using casein<br />

under oils, apply a barrier layer of<br />

Kamar or Damar varnish over the casein<br />

before the oil paint. <strong>Casein</strong> can also be<br />

used under oils as an underpainting.<br />

Q: What about glazes?<br />

A: There are three methods of glazing<br />

caseins, all of which are structured<br />

around the need to avoid inadvertently<br />

lifting a previously painted layer. First,<br />

and most obvious, is to wait a couple<br />

of weeks until the casein cures.<br />

Second is to wait until the casein is<br />

dry to the touch (just a few minutes<br />

and can be accelerated by using a hair<br />

dryer); prepare your glaze by adding a<br />

small amount of paint to water or to<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> Emulsion.<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> Color Studies & Underpainting<br />

A little goes a long way – just be aware<br />

that <strong>Casein</strong> Emulsion used “straight” in<br />

this manner will dry to a semi-gloss finish,<br />

not casein’s usual matte surface.<br />

Painting by - R. Tate<br />

www.rtatepainting.com.<br />

You can use acrylic flat varnish over<br />

this area later if you prefer or it will<br />

“even out” when you apply any finish<br />

varnish to the whole painting. When<br />

using this method, identify the area you<br />

want to glaze and using a light touch,<br />

carefully apply the glaze in one stroke<br />

only for each brush width of area.<br />

The final method is to use PVA<br />

glue such as Weldbond. Mix 1 part<br />

Weldbond to 3 parts water. This<br />

solution can be applied with a foam<br />

brush, but again, be sure to only apply<br />

the glaze in one pass over an area. If<br />

your painting is small enough, it may<br />

be easier to pour the solution over the<br />

painting rather than brush it on.<br />

Get a flat pan a bit larger than the<br />

painting. Hold the painting over the pan<br />

and pour on the water/glue solution.<br />

Tilt the painting to cover the entire<br />

surface with the solution. (Reclaim<br />

unused solution from the drip pan by<br />

storing it in an airtight container). Wait<br />

until the glue layer dries (accelerate<br />

with a hair dryer if desired) and apply<br />

your next paint glaze.<br />

Q: What is half-tone black?<br />

A: The pigment in half-tone black is<br />

more finely dispersed than in the<br />

other casein colors. Think of it as a<br />

separate, transparent color, not “pale<br />

black.” It is meant to be applied as a<br />

glaze. Use it on your color mixing chart<br />

to show the effects of half-tone black<br />

over other casein colors. For instance,<br />

half-tone black over burnt sienna<br />

results in a beautiful purple.<br />

Q. Why does the color chart show a<br />

95% color + 5% white wash?<br />

A. Adding a touch of white to your<br />

casein colors will help you control<br />

your washes. 5% white will make<br />

washes lighten gradually from opaque<br />

to transparent instead of changing too<br />

rapidly. Try it, you won’t believe the<br />

difference.<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> & Color Studies<br />

Although he had used casein in<br />

college, Robert Tanenbaum didn’t<br />

begin working with it seriously until the<br />

early 1970’s when a fellow illustrator<br />

recommended its use particularly<br />

for highlights. It was much easier to<br />

use casein instead of watercolor or<br />

gouache.<br />

With some experimentation,<br />

Tanenbaum found that casein was<br />

also perfect for tight details and textures,<br />

and that its quick drying properties<br />

made it ideal for preliminary color<br />

sketches and for underpainting.<br />

“Years ago, I learned that by doing<br />

small preliminary color sketches, I<br />

could work out the composition,<br />

colors and value patterns. I could spot<br />

problems early on, so that I could be<br />

more spontaneous with my final images,<br />

instead of laboring over them.<br />

“I think casein is the best choice for<br />

color sketches because it usually<br />

dries within a few minutes and I can<br />

make changes immediately or quickly<br />

move onto the next stage.”<br />

When doing his preliminary sketches,<br />

Tanenbaum creates a relatively<br />

detailed drawing of the figure. He then<br />

begins by laying in the casein, using<br />

the same techniques as he does with<br />

oil – applying painterly brush strokes,<br />

and blending and softening the edges<br />

before the casein dries entirely.<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> & Color Studies (con'd)<br />

When he gets his color sketch to a<br />

level he’s happy with, he’s ready to<br />

approach his final oil painting. Again,<br />

casein plays a major role.<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> & Underpainting<br />

“When I paint in oil, I still tone with<br />

casein because I can use oil as soon<br />

as the casein feels dry to the touch.<br />

If I tone with oil, I have to wait for a<br />

long time until it sets up. “For my oil<br />

paintings, I use a stretched canvas,<br />

which I re-gesso before I do a pencil<br />

drawing. The pencil takes the gessoed<br />

surface better and comes out black so<br />

I can see it through the underpainting.<br />

I spray the drawing with a workable<br />

fixative, which sets the drawing so<br />

that it won’t bleed into the paint or<br />

disappear.<br />

“Then I lay on an opaque casein<br />

passage to completely cover the white<br />

of the canvas, but I’m careful not to<br />

lay it so thickly that it becomes impasto.<br />

After that, I begin painting with oil.”<br />

As long as an artist doesn’t lay on<br />

casein too thickly, it’s an excellent<br />

choice for underpainting because it’s<br />

insoluble once it dries. The casein will<br />

easily accept the oil and will form a<br />

good mechanical bond,” explains Ross<br />

Merrill, Former Chief of Conservation<br />

for the National Gallery of <strong>Art</strong> in<br />

Washington D.C.<br />

“One thing an artist must never do<br />

is underpaint oils with acrylic paint,”<br />

says Merrill. “Acrylic paints are formulated<br />

with a ‘closed’’ surface to protect<br />

the paint from stains, grime and<br />

other pollutants. This ‘closed’ surface<br />

is non-absorbent and over time, the<br />

oil on top could actually de-laminate<br />

and come off in layers. Using acrylic<br />

gesso, however, works fine with casein<br />

or oil paint because it has an ‘open’<br />

surface to accept the paint layer and<br />

form a mechanical bond.”<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> & Egg Tempera<br />

Doug Wiltraut, an experienced egg<br />

tempera painter, has discovered<br />

the beautiful qualities casein has<br />

to offer. While egg tempera is<br />

characterized by its pureness of<br />

color and luminosity, it also has<br />

some qualities that make it a bit<br />

difficult to work with.<br />

Painting by - Douglas Wiltraut<br />

Douglas Wiltraut, one of America's foremost painters in egg tempera and dry brush<br />

watercolor. Currently the President of the National Society of Painters in <strong>Casein</strong> &<br />

Acrylic, Inc., he has been the recipient of numerous national awards. He was the<br />

subject of a feature article on egg tempera painting in both American <strong><strong>Art</strong>ist</strong> and<br />

The <strong><strong>Art</strong>ist</strong>’s Magazine.<br />

For more information on Doug and his work, visit www.douglaswiltraut.com.<br />

First, egg tempera must be made<br />

from “scratch” by the artist, and<br />

because it is made from a perishable<br />

item, new paint needs to be made<br />

each day. This presents a challenge<br />

in matching colors. Second, egg tempera<br />

does not blend easily because<br />

it is such a fast-drying medium. It<br />

must be applied in numerous thin,<br />

semi-opaque and transparent layers.<br />

Many artists use a cross hatching<br />

technique with their brush strokes to<br />

create a clean, matte finish to their<br />

paintings, but the process is generally<br />

time-consuming.<br />

While egg tempera is a unique<br />

medium with a rich history, <strong>Richeson</strong><br />

<strong>Casein</strong> paints are able to achieve<br />

some of the beautiful qualities of<br />

egg tempera without some of its<br />

drawbacks.<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> paints are made<br />

according to high quality standards<br />

so you can be sure that every color<br />

is the same each time you paint with<br />

it. There are even color charts available<br />

for you to see the colors before<br />

you buy them.<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> paints are also very<br />

blendable. They can be applied in a<br />

tight, detailed manner, or be diluted<br />

with water to create a sweeping wash<br />

across the surface. While casein<br />

paints dry fairly quickly, they remain<br />

workable for some time even after<br />

they have dried.<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> paints can also be<br />

used with a variety of other mediums<br />

including egg tempera! Egg tempera<br />

artists now have a wonderful<br />

addition to their palette with<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> <strong>Casein</strong> paints. By using<br />

the two together, some interesting<br />

effects can be achieved.<br />

What is <strong>Casein</strong>?<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> (kay'seen) is a quick-drying,<br />

aqueous medium using a milk-based<br />

binding agent, and is one of the<br />

most durable mediums known to<br />

man. Nine thousand year old casein<br />

cave paintings have been discovered<br />

in Asia, and later, the medium<br />

was used by Byzantine, Roman and<br />

Renaissance artists including the Old<br />

Masters.<br />

Detail of "A Walk in the Country" by John Molnar<br />

John Molnar (1960-2010)<br />

Born August 7, 1960, in Welland, Ontario, John Molnar<br />

died October 13, 2010 in Toronto of leukemia-related<br />

causes at age 50.<br />

At the celebration of John Molnar’s life, one of his art<br />

students recalled that John looked out on his class<br />

one day and said, “Isn’t it a miracle we’re all here?<br />

I mean, really." That pretty much sums up how John<br />

felt about his life, his students and his art.<br />

Although John had worked in commercial art, his<br />

real passion was fine art, which he began to pursue<br />

full-time in the late 1980s. Quickly becoming known for<br />

his lush landscape paintings in casein, John became<br />

the go-to person for expertise on the medium and<br />

answered questions from artists all over the world.<br />

John left a legacy of art that will keep his spirit alive<br />

forever. His death is a great loss to painters everywhere,<br />

especially in the medium of <strong>Casein</strong>.<br />

<strong>Richeson</strong> Paints are tested in<br />

accordance to: ASTM D-4236<br />

and bear safety labels to the<br />

standards issued by ACMI.<br />

While many Shiva ® colors are<br />

AP Approved non-toxic, certain<br />

colors do bear the CL label<br />

with safety warnings.<br />

Known for their versatility and array<br />

of capabilities, casein paints can be<br />

used to create a variety of effects<br />

from the rich opaques of oil to thin<br />

watercolor washes. Because casein<br />

has an exceptional integrity of color<br />

and always dries to a perfect matte<br />

finish, it is unexcelled for art<br />

reproduction. The velvety matte<br />

finish can also be buffed to a satin<br />

sheen or varnished to produce a<br />

resemblance to oils. Over time,<br />

casein pigments become resistant to<br />

moisture and as history has proven,<br />

the medium has a durability and<br />

permanence which has easily stood<br />

the test of time.<br />

<strong>Casein</strong> differs from other media, yet<br />

it shares many of the same characteristics,<br />

which make it a very versatile<br />

medium that lends itself to many<br />

techniques. <strong>Casein</strong> has the wash<br />

capabilities of watercolor, the smooth<br />

opacity of tempera and gouache,<br />

and the richer textures of oils and<br />

acrylics. Brushes dipped in casein<br />

keep their finesse, producing clear,<br />

crisp lines. Unlike oils, casein is a<br />

clean, water-soluble medium<br />

requiring no strong solvents.<br />

And because it dries quickly, it’s<br />

possible to lay on a glaze and move<br />

onto the next stage within a few<br />

hours instead of waiting for days,<br />

or even months, for oil glazes<br />

over oil to dry. In comparison to<br />

watercolors, the main advantage of<br />

casein is that it’s easily correctable.<br />

It can be removed with a cloth,<br />

brush or eraser.<br />

Helpful Tips for <strong>Casein</strong>s<br />

• Choose a rigid, non-oily surface for work<br />

• Establish correct drawing and value<br />

patterns with a thin underpainting<br />

• Dilute caseins with water to make<br />

washes & transparent glazes<br />

• <strong>Casein</strong> colors, especially reds, oranges,<br />

and yellows, tend to shift after drying<br />

• Lighten colors by adding more water<br />

or brighten them by adding powdered<br />

pigment<br />

• To correct an overly dark area, cover it<br />

with a more opaque layer of a lighter<br />

color<br />

• When working on a gessoed panel,<br />

correct any errors with an eraser or a<br />

1:9 ammonia and water mixture<br />
