Hi James, Thank you for all that you do and share. I learn so much every time that i read a post or watch a video clip. I also refer to "Color and Light" frequently.
I purchased a tube of titaniun white casein last week and made a few swatches on paper and masonite and after three days they reactivate with water. Is that normal? I tried tinting the casein with watercolor as well for an underpainting (on paper) and that also did not set up.
Thank you
Mitch
