Definition och Betydelse av "gouache"

What is "gouache"?

Gouache is a type of paint that is similar to watercolor but with a more solid and less see-through finish. It is made from pigments mixed with a sticky substance and a white, chalky material that makes the paint thicker and less transparent. Gouache provides rich, vibrant colors and can be used for detailed artwork or illustrations. It is often applied to paper and is valued for its ability to be adjusted and layered to achieve different effects.
