Richeson Casein Paint

Richeson Casein Paint is a fast-drying, water-soluble paint made from a milk protein binder (casein), offering a unique matte, velvety finish with excellent coverage and rich, vibrant color. Known for its versatility, it can be used in techniques similar to watercolor, gouache, or even oil painting once dry, as it becomes water-resistant and can be layered without lifting. Ideal for illustration, fine art, and design work, Richeson Casein Paint adheres well to a variety of surfaces including paper, illustration board, canvas, and wood panels. It’s particularly valued for its vintage aesthetic, archival quality, and the ability to rework or refine details even after drying.
