How to use

Squeeze a small amount of gouache onto a palette or mixing surface. Apply directly with brushes suitable for water-based paints; synthetic or natural brush hairs both work well. For thinner washes, dilute with water to the desired transparency. For solid, opaque areas, use the paint at full body. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional layers to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use on heavyweight paper or primed boards to prevent buckling and ensure stable adhesion. Store tubes capped tightly in a cool, dry place to preserve pigment and consistency. When mixing colors, test small areas first to check drying appearance, as gouache dries to a slightly different tone than when wet.
