New in Our Shop: Gouache Paints!
When Daniel Smith launched their new line of gouache colors, we knew we had to try them.

We’ve been listening! So many of you have asked us about gouache that we decided to explore more for ourselves. Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint that is compatible with watercolor but is formulated with a high pigment load and dries with a matte finish. Check out the video at the top of this post for an introduction to this medium and some tips for using it in our palettes.
