Our take on the Liquitex Acrylic Gouache Essentials Set of 12, 22 ml

This is a 12-tube starter set of Liquitex Acrylic Gouache, a matte, opaque paint that mixes the flat finish of gouache with the water resistance of acrylic. Each tube holds 22 ml, enough to try the medium without committing to large tubes. The colors are a basic mixing range rather than a full palette, so it suits beginners, illustrators and sketchbook painters who want flat, poster-like color. Against student gouache it dries permanent and does not lift once dry; against heavy-body acrylic it is thinner and dries matte. Reviewers like the opacity and the flat finish but note the tubes are small and the range limited.

Pros
  • Matte, flat finish with strong opacity
  • Water-resistant once dry, unlike traditional gouache
  • Thin, creamy consistency that brushes out smoothly
  • Mixes cleanly within the set
  • Good way to sample the medium in small tubes
Cons
  • 22 ml tubes run out quickly for larger work
  • Only 12 colors, so some mixes need extra tubes
  • Dries fast, which can leave streaks on big areas
  • Not rewettable like classic gouache

Questions and answers

How is acrylic gouache different from regular gouache?
It dries water-resistant and permanent, so it will not rewet or lift like traditional gouache. The finish is matte and opaque like gouache, but it behaves more like a thin acrylic.
Can I use it on canvas and paper?
Yes. It works on canvas, canvas board, watercolor paper and mixed-media boards. Thin it with water for washes, but too much water weakens the binder.
Do I need special brushes?
No. Synthetic brushes for acrylics work well. Rinse them before the paint dries, since it becomes hard to remove once set.
Is this set enough for a full painting?
It covers a basic palette for small studies and sketches. For larger work or a wider range of hues, you will likely want more colors and bigger tubes.
Can I mix it with regular acrylic paint?
Yes, it mixes with other water-based acrylics. Adding heavy-body acrylic will change the finish from matte toward satin.
Where is the Liquitex Acrylic Gouache Essentials Set of 12, 22 ml cheapest?
