Casein Experiment

"A Walk in the Woods," casein on panel
This painting is an experiment in casein. Casein is a kind of paint made using milk protein (casein) in an oil emulsion. It's an older medium that's made a bit of a comeback in recent decades. In some ways casein is like acrylic paint--rapid drying in particular, durable when dry--and it photographs very well. Back in the early to mid-twentieth century casein was the medium of choice for many. 

This painting is an imaginary landscape done a few years back to practice with the medium. I don't think I've posted this one before.
