Beginner Gouache Painting
Gouache is a water-based paint that is known for its opaque, matte finish. It's similar to watercolor but with a thicker consistency and more pigment, which prevents light from easily passing through, creating an opaque effect. Gouache can be applied in thin washes or thick, layered strokes, and it's often used in illustration, design, and commercial art.
