Description
Gouache is very comparable to both acrylic paint and watercolour paint but is its own entity. Gouache paint is opaque but becomes translucent when water is added. Just as in watercolour, the binding agent has traditionally been gum arabic, but since the late nineteenth-century dextrin has also been used.
Gouache dries to a matte finish similar to watercolour paint, but it dries to an opaque painting in a superficial layer style such as acrylic or oil paints.
The opacity of gouache comes from the white pigment or chalk that is added along with the coloured pigment and binder in order to make it less transparent.
