Winsor & Newton Designer Gouache Alternatives
Designer Gouache has opacifiers mixed with pigment to make the paint opaque. For the best quality alternative to Winsor & Newton we recommend Schmincke Designers Gouache, for the most economical alternative we recommend ShinHan.
If you are looking to increase the colour intensity in your work then we highly recommend that you try one of these ‘Artist Gouache’ brands. Artist Gouache does not include opacifiers and is just highly pigmented.
Explore brilliant opaque colours straight from the tube with Holbein Artists’ Gouache containing no opaquing agents, or Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache whose gouache paint is made with the same high-quality pigments as their watercolours, with specially formulated water-based paints that yield a satisfying matt finish.
Or try Schmincke Horadam Gouache for a gouache to match their excellent watercolour paint.
Winsor & Newton and Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Alternatives
For trusted alternatives to Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic, try Golden Heavy Body, known for its exceptionally smooth, thick buttery consistency. These paints offer excellent permanency and lightfastness. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners or dyes added. It is our bestselling Acrylic.
Lascaux Artist Acrylic is Europe’s bestselling professional acrylic and also provides an exceptionally smooth, thick buttery consistency – these colours have excellent permanency and lightfastness, with no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners or dyes added.
Jackson’s Professional Acrylic is an ideal choice for artists seeking a more affordable professional quality acrylic.
Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic Alternatives
If you’re looking for soft body acrylics, we highly recommend Golden Fluid Acrylic which are highly intense, permanent acrylic colours with a consistency similar to heavy cream. Produced from lightfast pigments, not dyes, they offer strong colours.
Liquitex Acrylic Gouache Alternatives
If you’re looking for an alternative to Liquitex Acrylic Gouache, then try Holbein Acrylic Gouache – an opaque and highly-pigmented paint which dries to a very intense velvety-matt finish. This paint behaves like traditional Gum Arabic gouache, but because it is made with an acrylic resin binder, it is water-resistant once dry.
Alternatively, Turner Acrylic Gouache is an ideal substitute. Their paints are opaque and dry quickly to a matte finish, coloured with extremely finely-ground pigment giving a fluid consistency which enables an even spread of uniform colour across large areas. You will love both these colour ranges.
Liquitex Mediums Alternatives
We highly recommend Golden Mediums as an alternative to Liquitex Mediums. Golden have the widest range of acrylic mediums, including gels, additives and effect pastes. Understanding which acrylic medium is the one you need can be tricky, so we’ve tested out all the main Golden Acrylic Mediums for you in this Guide to Mediums.
Lascaux are also a good alternative. Use alone or mix into Lascaux Acrylic colours to give a gloss, satin or matt sheen to paint.
If you’re looking for good value, then try our Jackson’s Mediums which provide great quality at an affordable price.
Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylics Alternatives
For a fantastic alternative to Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylics explore our Jackson’s Studio Acrylic range which offers great quality at an affordable price.

Available in large bottles and with a heavy body consistency, these colours dry to a beautiful satin finish and are fully intermixable with any other acrylic brand. Another very popular paint is System 3.
