Gouache paint tube SMARTMAX Designers Gouache 37 ml — Zinc White

SMARTMAX Designers Gouache 37 ml — Zinc White is an opaque zinc white gouache formulated for illustration, design and mixed-media work. The 37 ml tube contains a high-pigment, smooth-consistency paint that dries to a matte finish, allowing for precise details, layering and effortless corrections on paper, board and suitably prepared surfaces. The formulation is intended to maintain good coverage and mixing behavior when combined with other gouache colors or water-based media.

Advantages

The Zinc White delivers strong opacity and reliably covers darker tones, enabling effective corrections and highlights. Its smooth, creamy consistency spreads evenly and allows for controlled brushwork and fine lines. Quick matt drying reduces waiting time between layers and supports rapid workflow. The tube packaging preserves freshness and enables economical dispensing of paint for both small details and larger areas.

Suitable for

• Illustration and character design
• Graphic design mockups and concept art
• Mixed-media work on paper and board
• Layering, highlights and corrections in fine art
• Color mixing and tinting other gouache shades

How to use

Squeeze an appropriate amount of paint from the tube onto a palette or mixing surface. For fine details, use a small, pointed brush; for larger areas, use a flat or round brush. Thin with water to adjust opacity and flow, keeping in mind that increased dilution reduces coverage. Apply in thin layers for controlled matt finishes and allow each layer to dry before adding subsequent layers to avoid reactivation and unintended blending. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use on quality, sized paper or primed board to prevent excessive absorption and to maintain color integrity. Store tubes capped and away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For extended work sessions, mix a small amount of paint with a retarder or extender formulated for water-based paints to slow drying if needed.
