Rosa Gouache 3 Colours – Set F

$18.95

Gouache is a preferred paint option for colour theory for artists accustomed to working in oil or acrylic because it will have a similar tactile feel and brush handling. Plus, unlike watercolour, Gouache is opaque and cannot rely on the white of the page to light colours. White must be used to create tints and lighter colours. Always buy extra white. White is sold separately.

Set F includes:

906 Red
912 Violet
924 Yellowish Green

Rosa Gouache 3 Colours – ColourJot Set F

ROSA gouache is a thick, water-based, opaque paint with gum arabic as a binder. Colours have good coverage, mix well, and create a matt finish after drying. Even when dry, gouache is easily rewettable with water, and top layers can always be softly blended into previous ones.

ColourJot Set F includes 3 x 40 ml Rosa Gouache tubs: 906 Red, 912 Violet, and 924 Yellowish Green. Pair with any ColourJot Stencil and away you go!

ROSA Gouache Paints are made in Ukraine and are produced using high-quality pigments, including excellent covering power, smooth creamy consistency, and good lightfastness. Due to finely ground pigments, ROSA Gouache Paints are water-soluble and can be used like watercolours, allowing artists to successfully embody their ideas and go beyond the borders of gouache fine art techniques.

Key differences between Watercolour and Gouache

Gouache and watercolour are both water-soluble, but gouache is opaque, while watercolour is transparent. This difference in opacity leads to distinct techniques and applications for each medium.

Opacity:

  • Gouache: Provides a dense, opaque finish that can cover colours or paper underneath, allowing for layering and light-on-dark techniques.
  • Watercolour: Colours are visible through each other, creating luminous, layered effects.

Blending:

  • Gouache: It is less blendable than watercolour, and colours do not easily bleed together.
  • Watercolour: Allows for easy blending and mixing of colours.

Paper:

  • Gouache: Can be used on a wider range of paper weights, including thinner ones.
  • Watercolour: Typically requires thicker, textured paper to support the water and avoid buckling.
