Description
Winsor & Newton have been producing Designers Gouache since 1935 and to this day we continue to offer the finest artists' gouache range available.
Designers Gouache colours are a range of opaque water colours, mainly used by designers, illustrators and commercial artists to create vibrant illustrations in solid colour. Gouache is also widely used in fine art as an opaque water colour.
The Designers Gouache range benefits from significant developments in technology and is smoother, flatter, more opaque and more brilliant than ever before.
This ideal starter set has a selection of ten 14ml tubes including Primary Yellow, Permanent Yellow Deep, Spectrum Red, Primary Red, Ultramarine, Primary Blue, Permanent Green Middle, Yellow Ochre, Ivory Black, Zinc White. Actual contents may vary.
Intermixability
All Designers Gouache colours are fully intermixable and, an opaque water colour, can be used with Winsor & Newton water colours for a matt, flat colour effect.
Pigments
The opacity of Designers Gouache is due to the exceptionally high levels of pigmentation in the formulation, which results in both covering power and clean colour mixing. The natural attribute of each pigment adds to the level of opacity and contributes to covering power.
Surface sheen
As a result of the high level of pigmentation and the Gum Arabic binder Designers Gouache dries to a matt finish. This reduces reflection when photographing gouache art work.
New Cadmium-Free Colours
Bright and vivid colors. Full and matt coverage. Formulated by chemists and approved by artists, this new range precisely matches the physical and chemical characteristics of cadmium-based paints, but without the cadmium. Available in Lemon, Yellow Pale, Yellow Deep, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Scarlet
Who Uses Designers Gouache?
Designers
Its ease of use, brilliance, quick drying and matt finish make it the most popular designers' and illustrators' colour. The opaque matt finish makes for more accurate reproduction at artwork stage as it minimizes reflections.
Fine artists
Use it in conjunction with water colour or on its own as opaque water colour. Its brilliance and opacity give it solidity, excellent for abstract work and extra details. Strong effects also result from the contrast of working on coloured backgrounds which are left partly exposed.
Caligraphers
Gouache is used by calligraphers because of its excellent flow, opacity and permanence.
Marblers
The high pigmentation and gum arabic base make it a common choice with professional marblers.
