Daniel Smith Extra Fine Gouache is a professional quality water-based paint that produces an opaque matt finish. Made with the same high quality pigments and gum arabic as Daniel Smith watercolours, it is uniquely formulated with higher pigment loads to achieve density and opacity without adding whites or other fillers.

Whether your painting style is abstract, representational, illustrative or figurative, you’ll enjoy the creative versatility of gouache. Apply it as mass tone straight from the tube to get rich, full-bodied solids with single brush strokes. Temper colours smoothly with water to create softer lines and hazy layers. Mix and blend new shades to customise your palette. You can even scrape into it or build up light texture with mark making tools.

Daniel Smith gouache can also be used to accent watercolour paintings with velvety shadows or bold pops of opaque colour.

Daniel Smith gouache rewets, dilutes, and cleans up easily with water. Exceptional lightfastness and pure, natural opacity. Colours can be added to empty half pans for portability.

The Daniel Smith Primary Mixing Set contains the following four 15ml tube colours: Hansa Yellow Medium, Pyrrol Red, Ultramarine Blue, and Titanium White.
