	Gouache Paint and Paintings - Aboriginal Art Online
		Gouache is a heavy, opaque watercolour paint which has been used for centuries in fine art and and also in design applications.
		Gouache consists of pigments in a water-soluble binder (gum arabic) with preservative and plasticiser (glycerine).
		Gouache is thinned with water, the same as watercolour or acrylic paint, and applied with brushes.

		A gouache painting is a watercolor done in opaque instead of transparent coloring; whites and pale tints are obtained by mixing titanium or Chinese [zinc] white with the colors instead of by utilizing the white of the ground.
		Gouache pigments are ground with a greater proportion of vehicle to pigment, and when they are painted out, the result is a continuous paint film of appreciable thickness rather than the thin wash or stain produced by watercolor.
		Gouache colors have a certain robust solidity which gives the effect of an impasto paint layer, heavier than that which actually exists and, therefore, the paint need not be piled up thickly.

	Gouache - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gouache (from the Italian guazzo, "water paint, splash") or Bodycolour (or Bodycolor, the terms preferred by Art historians) is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water.
		Gouache differs from watercolour in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present.
		It was used as early as the 12th century in Islamic art and as early as the 14th century in Europe.

	handprint : gouache & bodycolor
		Gouache was probably introduced to England by painters with French ancestry, such as Joseph Goupy (1689-1763) who was drawing master to the family of George I, or by painters who became influential in England after a career on the Continent (such as Marco Ricci, 1676-1729, Francesco Zuccarelli, 1702-1788, or Charles Clérisseau, 1722-1820).
		For this reason, gouache pigments are not ground as fine as watercolors, because gouache is typically not used in thin washes or tints — instead, it is diluted with white paint.
		However, gouache should not be used with acrylic paints: some colours react chemically and may change hue or turn lumpy when mixed with acrylic chemicals; mixing with acrylic medium also turns the finished gouache colors glossy.

		Gouache can be used thinly, like transparent watercolors, but it is generally used as a matte, opaque paint.
		Gouache is made from pigment, binder (usually gum arabic) wetting agents, other minor additives, and a preservative.
		Gouache is available in tubes and cakes, but cakes are neither as bright nor as practical as the tube colors.

	Diana M. Graham on Watercolor & Gouache
		In early modern times, gouache (defined as body color made opaque by the addition of white pigment) was used for manuscript illumination and transparent wash only for coloring pen and ink drawings.
		Gouache pigments, when painted out, result in a continuous film of appreciable thickness rather than the thin stain produced by watercolor.
		Graham gouache relies on high pigment loads to produce body and opacity, leaving the addition of white to the discretion of the artist.

	Article- What is Gouache
		Gouache is easily mixed with all watercolor products, and most acrylic colors, although mixtures should be tested before use as results will sometimes vary.
		Gouache can also be mixed with acrylic medium to form a “cheap acrylic”; which is well suited for textures, washes, bases, covering large areas.
		It should be noted that gouache has many qualities similar to tempera paint, including its tendency to crack if it is applied too thickly.

		Gouache has a greater proportion of binder to pigment than is found in transparent watercolors; for this reason, gouache produces a continuous paint film of considerable thickness and is not as suitable for washes.
		Gouache films are less vulnerable than those of transparent watercolor because they are thicker, but paintings should still be protected through proper storage and curation.
		The brilliance and luminosity which are characterisitic of gouache come from the surface of the paint film and not, as with transparent watercolors, from the white paper below.

	Buffered Watercolors and Gouache.
		The gouache pastel feel look you are referring to is not so much the result of the paint I use, but the choice of a certain color palette that I decided to adopt.
		Gouache has MANY advantages, most of which are known by technical illustrators, but not by "normal" airbrush artists.
		Prepared gouache (right out of the tube) is nearly always colored pigment mixed with white, but also requires additional white (or other colors) to be mixed with it because rarely are there any PURE colors in nature.

	American Artist: Expand Your Options by Adding Zinc White Gouache to Transparent Watercolors
		Many watercolorists avoid using Chinese white or zinc white gouache with their transparent watercolors because they think they might appear to be lazy or breaking rules.
		But there are just as many artists who like expanding their range of creative options by changing the physical appearance of their paints with the addition of opaque white paints.
		Because the zinc white gouache adds such variety to the appearance of the paints, Bowen finds it easy to work with a limited palette of colors.
