Gouache

Gouache is a wonderful opaque paint, similar to that of watercolour, that is made up of high quality pigment suspended in water with gum arabic as a binder.

Gouache has been a favourite of illustrators and designers for many years thanks to its high opacity, excellent colour strength and the speed of application with which it could be applied.

It was also favoured with 20^th century animators as it would provide an excellent method colouring a cel thanks to its solid, opaque coverage.  We stock excellent quality gouache ranges such as Winsor & Newton Designers’ Gouache in tubes as well as sets to get you started.

Gouache sets are extremely popular with illustration and design students as it is the perfect way for them to begin working with this versatile paint.
