Details

Technique: Gouache. Its name is derived from the Italian guazzo, and is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water. A binding agent, usually gum arabic, is also present, just like in watercolor. Gouache differs from watercolor 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. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective properties.
