Been studying gouache and honestly it’s got serious issues as a medium. The whole point compared to watercolor is the opacity, but that opaque additive reduces the stability of the gum arabic binder. That means if you paint on it with a later color it lifts up and mixes.pic.twitter.com/p8fWaJXjJM
There is a watercolor medium called shellac soap which would solve it, so I might try that, but there’s other problems: 1. It changes value significantly so that it’s always middle value. 2. Colors are either intense or mud, no real control over it.
The value change means that everything you want dark goes light, and everything you want light goes dark when it dries. If you want a light part you have to paint on almost puree white. If you want dark it has to be allost black.
The color intensity is why illustrators and fashion designers love it. Everything just looks like a cartoon so doing realism is difficult. If you do try to dull a color down it goes gray almost instantly.
The advantage of gouache seem mostly to be: 1. It photographs insanely well. 2. It works like pastel and oil paint but is used like watercolor. 3. You can put it on some very trash paper and it’ll still look good. Other than that I think it’s not as good as watercolor.
