It
is my experience that artists often discover opaque watercolor
after having spent some years exploring one or more of its popular
cousins: watercolor, oils and acrylic. In many ways gouache
embodies the finer qualities of these media while avoiding many
of their limitations.
Gouache
resembles watercolor most in its appearance fresh out of the
tube and onto the pallet. But it is more closely related to
oils and acrylics in its behavior in the painting process. Consequently,
it is often the artists who have worked successfully with transparent
watercolors who have the hardest time making the transition
to gouache.
