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.

 

    Colours:

    •  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.

     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.

     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
