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 paints have awesome thick consistency which gives brilliant texture in painting.
- The set contains 12 metallic colours in 12 ml jelly cups, yellow case.

- This set contains some lovely metallic shades which give amazing results on black paper. They are ideal for illustrations, calligraphy and give a brilliant metallic shine after drying.

- It has a unique jelly cup design with an excellent sealing lid and comes with an airtight portable box.
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.
Storage & aftercare:
- The paints once opened will tend to get dried up over time.
- And depending on the humidity, molds can sometimes form on the paints.
- Using distilled water instead of tap water and using gouache spray can help in preventing molds from forming to a larger extent
