ABOUT GOUACHE:
-
Gouache paint is similar to watercolour, but it is opaque & a versatile medium. It is often described as an “opaque watercolour”.
-
Gouache is made up of natural pigment, water and a binding agent (like gum arabic or dextrin).
-
Gouache can also be used as ‘watercolours’ if diluted with water but will not look very vibrant.
-
Gouache when mixed with a little and the right amount of water gives a very vibrant, rich and opaque finish to the final painting.
-
Gouache is thick and dries quickly. However, even if the paint dries, it is easier to re-wet the paint, unlike acrylics, by just spraying or adding little drops of water.
-
When gouache dries it gives a matte finish. It is non-shiny and non-reflective.
-
The main advantage of gouache is that it can be layered and reworked, unlike watercolours.
-
If there is a small mistake in the painting, it will be very difficult to correct when using watercolours because of its transparent nature.
-
However, Gouache, when it dries, becomes opaque and hence it is easier to correct mistakes in gouache paintings as you can layer a darker colour over a lighter colour and vice-versa when using gouache.
-
The base layer needs to be dry before you apply the next layer of paint.
-
Gouache, being a versatile medium, works well on any watercolour paper with a fine texture, drawing papers (140 GSM & above), stretched canvas, MDF board, cardboard, wood & toned colour paper.

Storage & aftercare:
-
The paints once opened will tend to get dried up over time.
-
And depending on the humidity, moulds can sometimes form on the paints.
-
Using distilled water instead of tap water and using gouache spray can help in preventing moulds from forming to a larger extent.
