Professional Grade Gouache Made with Quality Pigment
DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Gouache is a professional-grade, water-based paint that dries to a matte, opaque finish. Made with high-quality pigments and gum arabic, it is formulated with more pigment for greater opacity without using fillers or added whites.
The paint can be applied straight from the tube for rich, solid color, or diluted with water for softer, lighter tones. It mixes easily, allowing artists to create a full range of custom shades. Gouache can be used for layering, blending, or building up light texture with mark-making tools.
All colors are highly lightfast, offering durable and pure results. The range includes 74 colors, covering a wide spectrum of staining and lifting qualities. The paint rewets, dilutes, and cleans up easily with water.
