I had been reading some interesting things about casein, a paint that is made from milk protein and thus is water-based - so I decided to give them a try. The obvious benefit is the ability to use water for thinning and clean up. Also, the paint dries pretty quickly but can be re-worked a bit even after dry. This may not have been the best day to try a water-based paint (sometime in March, 2007), as the temperature was hovering just above freezing. However, it worked pretty well - the casein paint has a matte finish when dry and that suited the overall tone of this day pretty well. I haven't used the caseins since, there's just not enough time right now.
