Re: Casein vs. gum
Can't speak about casein+acrylic but, as I understand it, the binder itself is not clear(ish) like gum. Therefore I expect to get more opaque layers with casein (especially so when combined with the potential of using a lot of pigment) -> quite the opposite of gum. Analogy would be gouache painting (casein) vs. watercolor painting (gum)... And what I saw up today (all web representations) seems to support my theory. OTOH, I could be completely wrong -> I'll see how it goes for me soon.
