What is gouache ?
Gouache is an opaque watercolor paint. Whereas transparent watercolors allow you to see the "white" of the paper below the paint, gouache can be applied in solid colors. This allows an artist to paint in layers from dark to light.
Pronouced "goo-wash" or "gwash", from the Italian guazzo.
