Gouache is a water-based paint that is highly versatile and can produce bright, luminous paintings. Gouache paint is essentially a heavy watercolor paint that dries much more opaquely than normal watercolors. It can be watered down to create soft, transparent layers, and it also can be built up for a textured effect similar to acrylic paint.

Though gouache is not as well-known as oil or acrylic paints, it is the preferred medium of many artists because of its versatility and easiness to use. It is growing in popularity amongst beginner artists for this very reason. The perfect gift for beginner to intermediate artists, or anyone who is a fan of gouache!
