DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ GOUACHE is a professional artist-grade water media that produces an opaque matte finish. Made with the same high-quality pigments and gum arabic as DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine™ Watercolors, GOUACHE is uniquely formulated with higher pigment loads to achieve density and opacity without adding whites or other fillers.

Whether your painting style is abstract, representational, illustrative or figurative, you’ll enjoy the creative versatility of GOUACHE. Apply it as mass tone straight from the tube to get rich, full-bodied solids with single brush strokes. Temper colors smoothly with water to create softer lines and hazy layers. Mix and blend new shades to customize your palette. You can even scrape into it or build up light texture with mark-making tools.

Use GOUACHE to accent your watercolor paintings with velvety shadows or bold pops of color. Try it with a wider variety of brushes on either light or dark surfaces – explore a whole new world of artistic expression!
