Description:

 

  • 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.

  •   The set consists of 18 beautiful pastel colours. Each jelly cup has 30 ml of gouache paint in it.

 

High-quality pigment: 

  •  The paints in each cup are very thick, highly pigmented, vibrant and creamy. 

  •  It is made of high-quality pigments. The colours don’t become muddy or dull. 

  • If the paint dries, you can add the water and reactivate the gouache.

  • This set has 18 pastel shades which are perfect for painting sunsets, landscapes, realistic art, illustration art, mixed-media art and much more.

 Eco-friendly and non-toxic: 

  • These gouaches are made of eco-friendly paint materials. They are easily washable and non-toxic for kids to adults.

Design:  

  •  It has a unique jelly cup design with an excellent sealing lid and comes with an airtight portable box.

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.
