Deli Gouache Colors, 12ml, 5 Shades – Pack of 5

Gouache is a water-based paint that dries to a matte, opaque finish. It blends easily on paper, can be re-wet, and layers well. It dries differently from watercolors (more opaque) and from acrylics (dries permanently with a different texture).

Heavyweight paper (such as watercolor or illustration paper) is ideal. You can also use gouache on illustration boards or primed surfaces. Avoid very slick plastics unless you prime them first.

Squeeze a small amount onto a palette, add a little water to adjust transparency, and blend with a brush. Build up color in light layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding more for rich, even coverage.

Yes. Gouache is typically water-based and non-toxic, making it suitable for school and hobby projects. Always supervise young children and avoid ingestion.

Tighten the caps after use and store the tubes upright in a cool, dry place. Clean brushes with mild soap and water, and rinse thoroughly to keep your brushes in good shape.

Gouache can be re-wet with a damp brush or a light mist of water. Gently work the area to reactivate the paint without over-diluting it.

Absolutely. Gouache layers well over pencils, ink, and markers, and can be incorporated into mixed media. Allow each layer to dry to prevent smudging when adding other media.
