The Artiste Gouache Paint Set is designed for beginners, students, and professional artists who need a versatile, opaque medium that bridges the gap between watercolor and acrylic. With its 12-color palette offering a rich, matte finish, it provides excellent coverage and blendability for a wide array of artistic projects, though users should be mindful that these paints are re-wettable once dried on the palette.

Yes, gouache is compatible with watercolor and can be used to add opaque details to a transparent watercolor painting.
Heavyweight watercolor paper or mixed-media paper (at least 140lb/300gsm) is recommended to prevent buckling.
Usage depends on your painting style, but because the pigment is highly concentrated, a little paint covers a large surface area.
The pigments are professional grade, but like all gouache, it should be kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight to maintain color vibrancy over time.
Yes, you can use these on primed canvas, though it is best suited for paper projects.
You have likely added too much water; reduce the amount of water to achieve a creamier, more opaque consistency.
Apply a second layer once the first has completely dried, or use a slightly thicker paint application for better coverage.
Gouache remains water-soluble after drying. Avoid touching the surface with damp hands and consider applying a fixative spray if framing the work.
To begin, squeeze a small amount of gouache onto a non-porous palette, as a little goes a long way. Use synthetic brushes to maintain control over the paint's consistency. When storing, ensure the caps are screwed on tightly to prevent the paint from hardening inside the tubes. If the paint becomes too thick, simply mix with a drop of water. After painting, rinse your brushes thoroughly with cool water; because gouache is water-based, it cleans up easily without the need for harsh chemical solvents.
