I love this material because it has a lot of versatility and because of the matte finish of its colors but with a lot of saturation.
- To begin with, find the ideal density for your work. You can dilute it as much as watercolors or use it out of the tube to make it thick like acrylics. My favorite way to work with them is with a little water, until it feels like a liquid paste but not too watery.
- It is a paint that reactivates with water, so be careful when working in layers.
- Experiment a lot. Try different methods and techniques on a sheet just to get familiar with the material before you do any designs.
- In my experience, the brands I have liked the most are Acryla gouache which is more difficult to reactivate with water, Windsor and Newton and Himi.
