- 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.
