Description

Expand your creative possibilities with Holbein Acrylic Gouache, a premium opaque acrylic paint that combines the rich handling qualities of traditional gouache with the durability and versatility of acrylics.

Formulated with finely ground, high-quality pigments, Acrylic Gouache delivers vibrant, highly opaque colour with exceptional coverage and a smooth, velvety matte finish. Unlike conventional gouache, it becomes permanent and water-resistant once dry, allowing artists to build layers confidently without disturbing underlying paint.One of its standout qualities is its remarkable colour consistency. The colour you see when applied remains virtually unchanged after drying, eliminating unwanted shifts in tone and ensuring predictable results throughout the creative process.

Designed for use straight from the tube, Holbein Acrylic Gouache dries evenly to a uniform surface and offers an open working time of approximately 10–30 minutes, making it suitable for detailed illustrations, design work, fine art, and mixed-media applications.The acrylic resin binder creates a flexible, durable paint film that resists cracking while maintaining the smooth blending and mixing characteristics associated with traditional gum arabic gouache. Its quick-drying nature allows for efficient layering with clean, crisp results and no bleed-through between paint layers.Compatible with all acrylic mediums and water-soluble media, Holbein Acrylic Gouache adheres exceptionally well to a wide range of surfaces, including paper, canvas, fabric, wood, leather, stone, concrete, and plexiglass.

Manufactured in Japan to the highest standards of quality and permanence, Holbein Acrylic Gouache is an excellent choice for professional artists, illustrators, designers, hobbyists, and creative makers seeking bold colour, reliable performance, and lasting results.
