The Caran d'Ache Gouache Studio Poster Colours 8-piece set is designed for students and professional artists seeking high-quality, water-based pigments in a portable format. Featuring a natural vegetable-based binder, these paints provide a smooth, matte finish with excellent light resistance and vibrant coverage. While they are exceptionally versatile for both opaque and transparent techniques, users should note that the paint is water-soluble and not suitable for projects requiring permanent, moisture-resistant surfaces.

It is suitable for students and amateur artists, but it is not recommended for children under 3 years of age.
Yes, as these are high-quality water-based gouache, they can generally be mixed with other water-based media, though results may vary.
The set includes 8 paint tubes and a paintbrush. We recommend using a separate plastic or ceramic palette for color mixing.
No, this is a traditional water-soluble gouache. It can be reactivated with water even after it has dried on the page.
The Caran d'Ache Gouache Studio set is developed and manufactured in Switzerland.
While they work best on paper, cardboard, and art boards, they can be used on primed canvas, though they will remain susceptible to moisture.
Add water gradually drop by drop to the paint on your palette until you reach the desired consistency for washes.
Ensure you are using high-quality artist-grade paper and not over-diluting the pigment, which can break down the binder-to-pigment ratio.
Wash the brush thoroughly with mild soap and warm water, then reshape the bristles while damp and let it air dry in a vertical position.
To begin using your set, simply squeeze a small amount of paint from the tube onto a mixing palette. To clean your brush or thin the paint, use a standard jar of water; the vegetable-based binder makes the paint extremely easy to rinse from synthetic or natural hair brushes. For best results, work on high-quality paper, art boards, or cardboard, as these materials handle water-based media without buckling. Store the tubes in the metal box with the caps tightened to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely. Keep the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
