Gouache Essentials

Gouache Essentials: Everything You Need to Create

A Versatile Medium, the Right Tools

Gouache is loved for its smooth texture, matte finish, and excellent opacity. It delivers vibrant colours and a high level of control. To get the most out of this medium, having the right tools makes all the difference. Whether it's the right brush or a suitable surface, every detail contributes to your creative success.

Choosing the Right Gouache

At DeSerres, we offer a wide selection of artist-quality gouache paints, available in individual tubes or complete sets. These paints are perfect for artists of all levels — from professionals to hobbyists. Thanks to their rich pigments and opacity, they allow for smooth layering and clean coverage.

The Ideal Surface for Painting

Paper plays a key role when working with gouache. Proper thickness and absorbency ensure the pigments perform at their best. For optimal results, we recommend our specially designed gouache and watercolour paper pads.

Expand Your Creative Toolbox

Why not combine gouache with other mediums? Use coloured pencils for subtle shading or textural accents. For clean lines and contrast, explore our collection of illustration markers. Blending media allows you to push your creative limits even further.

Optimize Your Creative Space

A well-designed workspace can greatly enhance your productivity. Investing in an ergonomic drawing table helps you stay comfortable during long painting sessions. Don’t forget essential painting accessories like palettes, water cups, or masking tape to keep everything running smoothly.
