Gouache (pronounced "gwash") is a versatile, water-based paint known for its vibrant colors, opaque finish, and fast drying times. It’s used for a vast spectrum of artistic applications, from delicate fine art illustrations to bold, graphic designs for comics and posters.
Let’s delve into a direct comparison between mediums to gain a better understanding of gouache’s distinct features.
While gouache and watercolor are similar in that they are both water-based and typically use gum arabic as a binder, their key difference lies in opacity. Gouache has a thicker consistency and higher pigment concentration resulting in a more vibrant and velvety matte finish. Watercolor is more transparent allowing you to see the "white" of the paper below the paint.
Additionally, gouache has a faster drying time but can be reactivated with water even after drying. Watercolor takes longer to dry but once it does dry, the pigment particles are locked into the paper fibers making it difficult to make adjustments.
If you're looking for an in-between, both mediums can be intermixed! You can use white gouache to add opacity to watercolor or use watercolor to thin out gouache. Gouache alone can be watered down to achieve a more watercolor-like look as well.
As mentioned before, gouache dries to a matte finish. This makes it easier to photograph or scan without creating glare. Acrylic paint, on the other hand, can dry to a glossy or satin finish depending on the brand.
Gouache and acrylics also have different levels of flexibility for making adjustments. Gouache is typically considered to be more forgiving. It is water soluble even when dry so it can easily be reactivated and reworked. Acrylic paint is water soluble when wet but water-resistant when dry. This makes it harder to rework but allows for great durability in the long run.
Acrylic Gouache is a unique paint that combines the properties of both acrylic paint and traditional gouache. However, its core features such as the binding element or matte finish align much closer to traditional gouache.

Store gouache in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use sealed containers or paint palettes with airtight lids to prevent drying.
