Painting

Casein Colours

Fast drying, re-workable, water-soluble, "multi-media" colours. Few artist colours are as easy to handle or allow the artist to learn such a variety of painting techniques. All Shiva casein colors are chemically pure pigments and are permanent to light, gases, alkalies, and acids. They may be applied on almost any grease-free surface: canvas, board, wood, gesso, paper, cement, plaster, wet or dry lime walls and for painting on glass - their adhesive qualities are excellent. Where it often takes hours, before a section of an oil painting can be reworked, it takes only minutes before a layer of casein can be applied over another.
