Painting in Gouache – so unusual and so rewarding!

Gouache is a very old medium that artists used through centuries. What is it about?

Gouache is something between watercolour and acrylic. It’s water-solvable (like watercolours) and opaque (like acrylic). Once dried it forms a matt soft surface that can be touched, blended and changed even after full drying, apart from acrylic, that forms a plastic film that can’t be washed out.

All these gives us opportunities to work in a unique technique, that can’t be repeated in any other medium.

A lot of famous artists used gouache in their watercolour works. Especially, white, which is very translucent in watercolours, to emphasize highlights. For example, we all know Picasso’s works in oil, but he also made a lot gouache paintings.
