Gouache
Gouache is a type of paint that is similar to watercolour, but it has a higher concentration of pigments and is opaque. It is also known as "opaque watercolour" or "designer's colour."
Gouache is made by mixing pigments with a binding agent, typically gum arabic, and adding water to create a paint that is thicker and more opaque than traditional watercolour. Because it is opaque, it can be applied in layers to create an effect similar to that of oil or acrylic painting.
Gouache is used by illustrators, designers, and fine artists, it can be applied to a variety of surfaces, such as paper, canvas, or board. Gouache can also be rewetted and manipulated even after it has dried, making it a versatile medium for artists who enjoy the spontaneity and fluidity of watercolour painting.
