Jack RichesonJack Riches on Casein Artist Color Theory (Set of 6), 1.25 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Multicolor

I love the Jack Richeson casein paint in tubes . The colors are rich and deep and dry to a luxurious mat surface . They are milk based and clean up is easy .

I like the colors, im sorry there arnt more of them.

We enjoy painting with casein paint in that it is very different sort of a feel, similar to oil paint,but dries very fast,and becomes permanent with time.Cleans up with soap and water.

I have never made casein paints from scratch but was curious so I bought these. They are very matt and dry very quickly. But they reconstitute so you can work back into them. They are their own animal--unlike other types of paint. You can use water spray to extend the open time. Without having used other brands (I think only other brand is by the German company, Pelikan), I can't comment on their quality as a casein paint. However, I can say they are interesting to work with and the only downside is that they have a strong odor--such as ammonia or something similar. It's too bad they can't find a compatible chemical substitute. The benefit of this over mixing your own is that homemade casein paints have a very short life and these will last a long time.

Creamy texture, great pigment load and good coverage

Great consistency

As expected

I like these colors, they're my first casein set and I love working with this medium! They also smell amazing, not like acrylics or oil. My only complaint is that I have to supplement the set with a watercolor red I have on hand because the red in this set isn't a true red. Its very cool and turns purple when you add black.
