Gouache Brushes: Popular Questions from Artists
What Are Gouache Paintbrushes?
Gouache paint brushes are designed for working with gouache, a water-based, opaque paint that behaves similarly to watercolour. These brushes need to be soft enough for fluid application but firm enough to handle the heavier body of gouache.
Most brushes for gouache are made with synthetic fibres such as nylon or taklon for smooth control and easy cleaning. Natural hair brushes are also used. Popular shapes include round, flat, filbert, and angled brushes, offering flexibility across techniques.
Artists use select specialist brushes for gouache to gain greater control, precision, and versatility. Gouache paint is ideal for layering, blending, and adding sharp details or bold areas of colour. Choosing the right gouache paint brush ensures smoother application and better results, whether for fine art, illustration, or design work.
‘I love the range of textures and marks you can get with watercolour gouache. You can quite clearly see brushstrokes and areas where the paint is more opaque. I find this invaluable for adding flashes of brighter colour, or working over the top of existing marks.’

How to clean gouache paint brushes
Rinse immediately after use with lukewarm water. Wash with mild soap, reshape gently, and never leave brushes soaking. Read ‘Brush Cleaning Tips’ to learn more.
Can I use gouache brushes for watercolours?
Yes, brushes for traditional gouache are often suitable for watercolour, especially if they’re synthetic. Acrylic gouache will require brushes for acrylic.
Are nylon brushes good for gouache painting?
Nylon is smooth, responsive, and easy to clean, which makes it a popular synthetic fibre for artist brushes. Other options include taklon, toray, and PBT. Learn more in ’The Development of Synthetic Brushes’.
