Gouache paint tube Talens Extra Fine Quality 20 ml — Orient Blue (524)

Talens Extra Fine Quality gouache in a 20 ml tube delivers artist-grade, opaque water-based paint in the colour Orient Blue (524). Formulated for strong pigmentation and a smooth, matt finish, this gouache provides consistent coverage for illustration, design and fine art work. The tube format preserves paint freshness, allows precise dispensing and makes palette mixing and onsite use practical for studio and field work.

Advantages

This gouache offers high pigment concentration for intense colour with economical coverage and a velvety, matt surface after drying. The 20 ml tube ensures controlled release of paint for fine detail or larger strokes and reduces waste compared with jars. The formulation reactivates with water, allowing seamless blending, reworking and layering without gloss. Its consistency is suitable for both brushwork and mechanical application with palette knives or spatulas.

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of paint onto a palette and adjust consistency with water as needed for washes or thicker applications. Use synthetic or natural brushes depending on the desired texture; apply in thin layers for smooth, even coverage or in thicker strokes for textured effects. Allow each layer to dry to a matt finish before overpainting to prevent lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place and reseal caps after use to maintain freshness. Test colour behaviour on a sample surface before committing to a final artwork, and use appropriate paper or primed supports to prevent buckling or excessive absorption.
