Gouache is loved by many artists because of its versatility as well as its ability to create paintings that are bright and luminous. Gouache is water-based and can easily be watered down or built up to create soft layers or build up texture.
الوان جواش is quite thick and dries to an opaque, matte finish.
Painting with gouache is very convenient because it dries quickly and doesn’t
reflect light. This means that gouache does not require you to wait very long
between applying each layer and that your final result will be quite vibrant.
Gouache paint is made by mixing natural or synthetic pigments with water and
gum arabic.
It may come as no surprise to you that gouache is different
from other paints mainly by composition. As we mentioned above, gouache shares
some qualities with both watercolor paints and acrylic paints, and in a way
functions as something in-between the two.
Gouache is a lovely and forgiving medium to work with and
provides very vibrant and consistent results. Ideally, gouache should be used
on papers such as watercolor paper or thicker drawing papers. Illustration
boards can work very well with gouache paints too. Unfortunately, you would
want to avoid attempting to use gouache anywhere else, at least in the
beginning, as it may be hard to get the paint to sit on other surfaces.
