Gouache
is opaque watercolor. It is manufactured in much the same way
as transparent watercolor. While they both are comprised of
pigment, wetting agent, and a binder, gouache additionally receives
an inert white pigment and higher levels of concentrated pigment.
The
result is a paint with a smooth, matte finish that can be at
times almost velvety in appearance. It can be used in conjunction
with other water-based media such as acrylic, transparent watercolor,
ink, and markers, as well as the dry media of pastels, and color
pencil. Because the pigment is finely ground, gouache is well
suited for use in an airbrush.
