Winter on the Creek

Although most of my current work is either oil or watercolor, in the past I've explored the use of casein. Casein paint is made using milk protein with oil to make an emulsion. The paint will keep well in sealed tubes and handles rather like oil, though it's water soluble and dries amazingly fast. In the decades before acrylic paint was introduced, casein (and also gouache) were go-to formulations because of convenience and speed.

This particular work is yet another painting of Druid Hill Creek in winter. The view is similar to others posted in the past.
