Working with gouache is a fast, easy way to do studies for larger paintings, helping you with color relationships and composition, but you’ll also find that adding your notes and thoughts turns your gouache journal itself into a work of art. Gouache paint is similar to watercolor, but it is modified to make it opaque. Gouache can be rewetted and dried to a matte finish, and the paint can become infused into its paper support, like watercolor. Contact Ed Higgins directly with any questions ed_higgins@icloud.com.
