Gouache set of 5 colours in ready-to-use aluminium tubes. This set contains the essential colours for mixing, whether you are learning about colours for the first time, or ready to mix your own custom colours. The tubes come in a sturdy cardboard box with convenient colour swatches. Talens Gouache Extra Fine is a highly pigmented paint with a matt finish. Although gouache is popular amongst artists and designers for its intense and opaque colours, they can be made slightly more transparent by adding water. Gouache is made with a high concentration of high-quality pigments and based on dextrin, which gives the paint a smooth consistency and reduces surface gloss. Use gouache to create even, matt colour blocks without visible brush strokes. Mix the colours with water to thin, mix and create smooth colour transitions. Gouache is not waterproof when dry, which means you can still rework the colours with water after they have dried. Contents: 5 x 20 ml tubes (100 White – 205 Lemon Yellow (Primary) – 397 Permanent Rose (Magenta) – 501 Light Blue (Cyan) – 703 Black Intenso) + colour mixing guide.

Gouache, Master Class – Open Stock 40ml

While the term “gouache” wasn’t introduced until the 18th century, similarly opaque water-based mediums have been used by artists for thousands of years.

In ancient Egypt, colorful pigments were bound together with honey and other binders to create an early form of gouache, and by the middle ages, Persian artists were using a rudimentary form of gouache to decorate their famously beautiful Persian Miniature paintings. In the 15th century, Albrecht Durer relied on the matte finish of early gouache to give his paintings a soft glow, and in the 18th century, François Boucher used the paint to capture the pastel colors of his famous “The Birth and Triumph of Venus”.

Gouache paint is fun and useful. It’s a historically important medium, and whether you use it alone or in tandem with other materials, mastering gouache will give you a new arsenal of ways to express yourself creatively.

About Master Class Gouache

Gouache, like watercolour, is a water-soluble colour based on gum arabic. However, as opposed to transparency and aeriality of watercolours, one of the most valuable properties of gouache is high opacity – the ability of colour to overcoat underlying layer.

‘Master-Class’ gouache is distinguished by perfect covering ability and paint layer density. The paint layer becomes matt velvety after drying. All these properties allow using it in serious art and graphic works.

These are a level above the “Designers'” gouache available in other brands.
