Notes:
“In the late 1940’s Marc-Aurèle discovered a new product in a tube, casein, a kind of gouache formed from a milk protein. Fortin was enthusiastic about this new medium and, inspired by his watercolor compositions, he experimented with its possibilities on wood fiber panels in his old studio in Sainte-Rose. Close to watercolor by its fluidity, what dazzles the artist with casein is its matte and opaque aspect. Casein hides the colors it covers, unlike watercolor which always lets the white of the paper and the underlying colors show through. To the colors available in tubes, Fortin adds one of his own. He created a specific recipe for the white. He buys cans of powdered milk that he mixes with water. This mixture creates denser impastos that he considers ideal for clouds.”
