With the popularity of our new Turner Acrylic Gouache<\/a> paint, a lot of artists have been asking ‘What is Acrylic Gouache?’<\/p>\n

Acrylic gouache is opaque, matte acrylic paint. The opacity means it has excellent coverage, the acrylic binder means it is waterproof when dry, so you can overpaint without smearing and the matte finish gives a velvety surface. Like acrylic, it also sticks to many surfaces with great adhesion. It is called gouache because it has a similar look and coverage to traditional gouache, but it is different because it is waterproof after it is dry and traditional gouache is not.<\/p>\n
