1. Gouache

   Gouache (; French: [ɡwaʃ]), body color, or opaque watercolor is a water-medium paint consisting of natural pigment, water, a binding agent (usually gum arabic or dextrin), and sometimes additional inert material. Gouache is designed to be opaque. Gouache has a considerable history, having been used for at least twelve centuries. It is used most consistently by commercial artists for posters, illustrations, comics, and other design work. Gouache is similar to watercolor in that it can be re-wetted and dried to a matte finish, and the paint can become infused into its paper support. It is similar to acrylic or oil paints in that it is normally used in an opaque painting style and it can form a superficial layer. Many manufacturers of watercolor paints also produce gouache, and the two can easily be used together.

1. gouache

   Gouache is a type of paint that is similar to watercolor but which is typically much more opaque. It is made by adding a white pigment to watercolor paint, which gives it a heavier, more solid appearance on the canvas. Gouache can have a matte finish and is often used for its ability to create smooth, flat color fields that are difficult to achieve with watercolor. It is frequently used for illustrations, designs, and poster artwork.
