Get ready for 22 gorgeous, velvety colors of the new line of DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ GOUACHE – a professional artist-grade water media that produces an opaque matte finish. Made with the same high-quality pigments and gum arabic as DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ Watercolors, GOUACHE is uniquely formulated with higher pigment loads to achieve density and opacity without adding whites or other fillers.
Whether your painting style is abstract, representational, illustrative or figurative, you’ll enjoy the creative versatility of GOUACHE. Use it to accent your watercolor paintings with deep shadows or bold pops of color. Try it with a wider variety of acrylic and oil brushes on either light or dark surfaces – explore a whole new world of artistic expression!
- Apply it as mass tone straight from the tube to get rich, full-bodied solids with single brush strokes.
- Temper colors smoothly with water to create softer lines and hazy layers.
- Mix and blend new shades to customize your palette.
- You can even scrape into it or build up light texture with mark-making tools.
GOUACHE rewets beautifully with a damp brush so you can make your own dot card swatches for traveling, sharing and plein air painting. Mask off and label squares on a sheet of watercolor paper, then squeeze a small amount of paint in each square. Once it’s dry, spread some of the color across the square.
