Casein Still Lifes of Dolls







In my studies of the history of illustration I often saw casein paintings, including many originals in the cavernous attic of my friends Walt and Roger Reed's old Illustration House headquarters on Water St. in Norwalk , Conn.. I was eager to try this milk emulsion based medium, but it was obsolete and could no longer be found in art stores by the time I came along.
Recently this medium was reintroduced by the Jack Richeson Co. under their Shiva brand, and I immediately purchased a set of colors and began to play. I love the peculiar handling characteristics and warm matte surface of this medium!
For the past several years I've done an image or two of spooky character dolls for the Halloween window of the Arts Prescott Co-op Gallery . I love the designs of the Tim Burton stop motion characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride films and usually paint still lifes of one or more of the articulated dolls I have. Above are a few of them.

Hello Bret! I first saw your style of life drawings in a DRAW magazine. It left me with a great impression. I've started to do sketching again after a very long time off. Thanks for a little inspiration! I added your blog to mine so friends of mine can see where I want to get to. Thanks again!

Regards!

Love the colors on these. I've always been curious about casein too, does it handle differently than say, gouache?

I intended to send you a tiny remark to be able to thank you once again with the unique things you've contributed on this page. It's quite surprisingly generous with people like you to allow freely all a few people could possibly have sold as an e book to make some dough on their own, primarily since you might have tried it in case you wanted. These suggestions as well acted to be a great way to be aware that some people have the identical keenness really like my own to see much more on the subject of this problem. I'm certain there are millions of more pleasant situations ahead for individuals that start reading your site.
