Gouache

Gouache is a water-soluble, opaque paint with a consistency and application method reminiscent of both acrylic and watercolour. It is made by mixing a pigment with a binder, is easy to use, has a wide colour palette and covers surfaces well. Gouache is suitable for beginners and professionals alike, as its covering power makes it easy to cover mistakes. Gouache also dries quickly and is easy to wash off with water.

Gouache is ideal for a wide range of surfaces, is odourless and harmless, but dries quickly and can start to crack if applied too thickly. Compared to watercolour, gouache is opaque and allows you to layer colours for a richer, more vibrant effect.

Gouache is a versatile and manageable material that is ideal for beginners and experienced artists alike, but its disadvantages include rapid drying and lower resistance to damage compared to other painting materials.
