Lefranc Bourgeois Study Gouache, 5 x 80 ml
Box size: 20 x 14 x 4.3 cm - Tube capacity: 80 ml - 5 colours
Gouache is an opaque water-based paint from the tempera family, like watercolour. This Lefranc Bourgeois set includes five 80 ml tubes: primary yellow, primary red, primary blue, white and black. Rich in pigments, the study gouache offers highly saturated colours, ideal for mixing. Its creamy texture is easy to apply. Recommended for art schools, it helps teach colour starting from the primaries.
Uses: Apply it thickly in paste form, in thin layers, or diluted with water for effects similar to watercolour. Its opacity lets you paint light colours over dark ones. The finish is matte and velvety, suitable for solid colour areas. It cleans up with water and has no odour. Suitable for beginners, school projects, design and illustration work.

FAQ
What is the difference from watercolour? Watercolour is translucent and applied in washes. Gouache is opaque and mainly applied as paste. Diluted with water, it can also produce a transparency close to watercolour. It dries faster than watercolour.
Which surfaces and brushes work best? Paper is the main surface. Any watercolour paper works if thick enough to avoid warping. Cardboard and wood also work if the surface is not greasy. Coloured papers give nice effects. Choose soft, water-loving brushes like watercolour brushes (squirrel hair, synthetic).
What are gouache’s limits? It has little binder: it applies in thin layers and does not suit thick texture effects. Unprotected, it remains vulnerable to water. It is not suited to very large formats. A dried tube can be reused by mixing with water.
