Gouache
Gouache
We stopped at the art store next door to Puchinella's tonight. I bought a pack of Reeves Gouache paints.
Any tips for me? As I understand it, they're like super-saturated watercolour paints? Am I even spelling it correctly?

Re: Gouche
You have to add an 'A'. Gouache!
Yes, it is much more pigmented than watercolor. It was used a lot for illustrations where the artist wanted a solid intense color. I've used gouache since I was in college until I just recently bought watercolors. Watercolors are much easier to dilute for washes.

Re: Gouache
That "a" makes the word look so much better!
I'm going to have to play with them some tonight.

Re: Gouache
Apparently without the 'a' refers to an area of the male body which shall remain nameless and forgetting the 'o' could make us very gauche. It is a very fine line we tread in the name of art!

I looked it up. I've heard other terms but not this one. It also happens to be the last name of many people on Facebook I see.
