Learn how to paint with gouache! This versatile, fast-drying water medium, also known as opaque watercolor, is simple to set up and easy to clean up.

The colors are rich & exceptionally vibrant because each tube has a high concentration of pigments. Use it in multiple ways, including travel sketching, color studies on the go, or paint your own miniature masterpiece!!
