Gouache and watercolor are both water-based paints that are commonly used in painting and illustration.
I love both of them so much because:
- Both are water-soluble paints, meaning that they can be easily thinned and mixed with water to create a range of effects.
- Transparent or opaque: Both gouache and watercolor can be used in transparent or opaque applications.
- Drying time: Both gouache and watercolor dry relatively quickly.
- Layering: Both gouache and watercolor can be layered to create depth and texture in a painting.
- Blending: Both can be blended and the results are unique and unpredictable!
Gouache and watercolor share many similarities due to their water-based nature, making them versatile and popular among artists.
