Description
The Signature Gouache Paints Set 12pc x 12ml gives you 12 well-balanced colors, offering enough tonal range for illustrations, sketches, student work, crafts, posters, greeting cards, and mixed-media art — all with that classic gouache opacity and finish. Gouache is often described as “opaque watercolor” — it combines the fluid, water-based ease of watercolors with the solid, rich coverage of acrylic or poster paints With gouache, you get a matte, velvety finish, strong pigment density, and the ability to work in bold flat colors or soft blended washes depending on how much water you use.
What makes Gouache Paints Set 12pc x 12ml special is its vibrant opacity and velvety finish. Unlike watercolors that appear transparent, gouache covers surfaces completely, even with thin layers. This strong coverage is perfect for artists who love working with clear shapes, flat graphic blocks of color, or designs with crisp, defined edges.
🌟 Why The Gouache Paints Set 12pc x 12ml is Valuable
✔ Rich, Opaque Colors with Great Coverage
Because gouache contains a higher pigment-to-binder ratio and often includes inert fillers (like chalk) to increase opacity, even a small amount gives solid, flat colors that cover well on white or toned paper.
This makes the set excellent when you need bold, flat areas of color — ideal for illustrations, comic art, graphic work, posters, and design-style paintings.
✔ Versatile: Water-Based and Easy to Reactivate
Gouache is water-based and can be diluted with water or used thick for opaque layers. Even after drying, many gouache paints remain water-soluble — letting you re-wet, correct, or rework sections if needed.
This flexibility is great for experimentation and quick adjustments, especially for students and creative learners.
✔ Matte Finish — Great for Scans, Prints & Mixed Media
Because gouache dries matte, there’s no glare — useful for artworks meant for scanning, photography, or mixed-media design where a flat, non-glossy finish is preferred.
You can also combine gouache with ink, pencil, markers, colored pencils or collage material once dry.
✔ Fast Drying & Convenient for Quick Projects
Gouache dries faster than oils and doesn’t require complex setup or mediums: just water, paper, and brushes. This makes it ideal for quick illustrations, class assignments, art journaling, sketchbooks and daily creative practice.
✔ Suitable for Many Skill Levels
From beginners and students to professional illustrators — gouache’s forgiving and flexible nature makes it easy to learn, yet powerful enough for serious work.

🖌️ How to Use Gouache Paints Set 12pc x 12ml : Step-by-Step Guide
-
Use good quality paper, heavy sketchbook, illustration board, mixed-media block or hot-press paper for best finish.
-
Squeeze a small amount of gouache on a palette. Gouache is pigment-rich — a little goes a long way.
-
Add water to achieve desired consistency:
-
Apply paint in thin layers; allow each to dry before adding new layers to prevent cracking or lifting.
-
Gouache can be rewet even after drying (unless sealed) — useful for blending or corrections.
-
Once satisfied with the work, you can seal or varnish artworks (especially if they’ll be handled or exposed) to improve longevity.
-
Clean brushes with water immediately after use — gouache is water-soluble and easy to wash away.
