GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Gouache is a technique of painting with opaque pigments in a water base. (It also refers to a work in this medium.) Although often associated with watercolor paints, the primary difference is that gouache is not transparent. Chalk or other white powders are sometimes added to increase a color's opacity.
