Did you know,
Combining gouache and watercolour is a very popular and effective technique that adds more depth and versatility to your artwork. By understanding their main difference, you can leverage both paints according to their strengths.
- Watercolours are transparent. They work best in layers, and the white of the paper shines through to create light and airiness in the piece.
- Gouache paints are opaque. They cover the layers underneath and dry to a velvety, matte finish.
The Most Common Ways to Combine Them
- Gouache over Watercolour (Most Common Method): First, paint the base and large areas of your piece, such as skies or backgrounds, with watercolours. Once they are dry, add details, bright highlights, or cover mistakes with gouache. Because gouache is opaque, you can paint light shades on top of dark watercolour washes – this is a perfect way to add stars to a night sky or light reflections on water, for example.
- Side by Side in the Same Piece: You can use the paints for different purposes within the same artwork. For instance, paint the ethereal and light parts with watercolour, and use opaque gouache for solid, defined objects like buildings or foreground details.
By combining them, you get the luminosity and lightness of watercolour with the opacity and precise control of gouache.
