Good quality gouache colour is a combination of pigment and gum arabic. Gum arabic is the binder that holds the pigment, giving it that perfect creamy 'flowing' consistency. (NB some cheaper brands may have chalk added to the pigment which in turn effects the 'flow and the brilliance of colour'). As a result of the high level of pigmentation Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache dries to a matt finish. This reduces the reflection when photographing the work.

Every colour within the range has an individual formulation to take advantage of each and every pigment characteristic and ensure tube stability.

One of the natural attributes of gum arabic - the binder used in Designers Gouache is that it is quick drying. This faster drying allows quick working techniques and preliminary sketching to be done. Also as with water colour, work can be finished quickly and as a result travelling with work is made much easier.

Lascaux Gouache is a unique acrylic-modified tempera paint for use in art and design as well as in education. This colour programme consists of 34 balanced hues, including silver and gold. Lascaux Gouache is characterised by its purity, brilliance, depth of colour and lightfastness. • Highly concentrated • Lightfast, permanent and non-yellowing • Dries to a velvety, elastic water-soluble finish • Thick and smooth consistency • Excellent covering power • Hues remain intensive even when heavily diluted • Adheres well to various supports • Barely lighter in colour when dry • Highly concentrated and extremely yielding Lascaux Gouache can be applied to all absorbent materials - eg. paper, cardboard, canvas, wood, plaster etc. Because it is highly concentrated this paint retains its intensity even when diluted 1:1 or more. Thus, this tempera colour can be applied undiluted and opaque or diluted with water to obtain different glazings in any desired shade. Thanks to a special binder, Lascaux Gouache applies with unusual ease and suppleness. A previous layer of colour can be over painted at any time without being dissolved by a subsequent paint layer. This set contains the following colours:Lemon Yellow, Gold Yellow, Signal Red, Carmine Red, Ultramarine, Prussian Blue, Emerald Green, Ochre, English Red, Black, White and Purple Red.
