Word of the day: Gouache
Gouache paint offers illustrators a flat, solid color layer unlike watercolors. This water-based paint dries with an opaque, matte finish due to added chalk. The word gouache originated from Italian and French terms meaning mud or splash. Artists use gouache for strong, even colors and its forgiving reworkability with water. Its opaque quality and ease of use make it popular with students and professionals alike.
