Whether you’re looking for your next artistic challenge or are simply wanting to dip your toes into the world of painting, gouache paint is a medium that’s great to experiment with. A type of opaque watercolour paint, gouache paints are typically available in one of two formulas: traditional gouache and acryla gouache. Traditional gouache is quite similar to watercolor paints in that they are best used with slightly absorbent materials, such as watercolour paper, while acryla gouache paints share more characteristics with acrylic paints, meaning they can be successfully applied to a variety of different surfaces. If you’re wanting to apply gouache on canvas, each formulation will give you different results. Half the fun of making art is experimentation, and this is certainly true of gouache paints!
While gouache paints are great to use on their own, they work well alongside watercolour paints and other mediums. Have fun layering colours, juxtaposing paint finishes and discovering how this type of paint best works for you. Traditional and acryla gouache paints behave a little differently too, making finding the best gouache paint for your art style an experiment in itself.
