Jack Richeson & Co Shiva Series Casein Paint Set – Portrait Palette, 9 x 37mL Tubes – Artist Grade, Opaque Water Media, Professional Fine Art Paint

The Jack Richeson & Co Shiva Series Casein Paint Set – Portrait Palette is a professional, artist-grade casein paint set curated specifically for portrait painters and fine artists who demand control, versatility, and long-lasting performance. This 9-color set includes 37mL tubes of cadmium yellow light, cadmium orange, cadmium red scarlet, rose red, burnt sienna, raw sienna, raw umber, chrome oxide green deep, and ivory black—carefully selected to support accurate skin tone mixing and natural color harmony. Casein (kay-seen) is a quick-drying, aqueous medium made with a milk-based binding agent and is regarded as one of the most durable painting mediums known. It offers remarkable flexibility, allowing artists to paint rich, opaque passages similar to oil paint or dilute with water to create thin washes and transparent glazes like watercolor. With exceptional integrity of color and a naturally matte finish, casein paint is especially valued for portraiture, illustration, and art reproduction. Once dry, it becomes moisture resistant and is compatible with watercolor, gouache, and mixed media workflows. It also serves beautifully as an underpainting medium for oil and acrylic painting. Ideal for studio work, plein air painting, alla prima studies, and fine art illustration, this Shiva Series casein paint set delivers professional performance rooted in traditional techniques.
