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. It is similar to watercolour because it can be re-wet and the paint can become infused with its paper support. While gouache paint is similar to water colour paint, it is different in that it’s more pigmented, is heavier, and provides more of a texture when painting.

For design and illustration, where work is intended for electronic scanning and reproduction, illustration boards or a hot press watercolour paper is recommended for use, for a flat finish that reproduces well. For fine art painting, watercolour papers are recommended.

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.
