• Opaque vivid colours from this set of gouache paints can be used straight from the tube and reworked with water.
• Similar to watercolours, gouache paints can be thinned with water and used with a watercolour brush for vibrant, opaque results.
• This gouache paint set features intense, vivid colours that capture attention. The fast drying time aids in efficient layering and quick adjustments, making it ideal for detailed and broad-stroke artwork. Use these paints directly from the tube or rework them with water for added flexibility. Gesso is recommended for non-watercolour papers.
• The set includes twelve colours: white, yellow ochre, black, coeruleum, ultramarine, lemon yellow, vermilion, burnt sienna, burnt umber, spa green, viridian, and crimson. This variety allows teachers to encourage creativity and experimentation with various techniques. The quick drying time supports dynamic and interactive art sessions, enabling multiple projects within a single lesson.
Incorporating this set raises the profile of art across the school, supporting whole school improvement. It helps teachers offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of artistic techniques to all pupils.
