In this book, gouache, a classic technique-used by Turner,
Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Picasso, Gris, Braque, Matisse and Miro,
among many others often compared to watercolour, acquires a new
dimension, as it offers a bolder approach to contemporary artists,
illustrators and graphic designers. Gouache erases the boundaries
between 'proper painting' and the spontaneous charm of watercolour,
combining the advantages of both techniques. Diluted, gouache is
almost like watercolour, but when used on its own, it can be
applied in opaque layers with a matte surface reminiscent of
pastels. Soluble in water, it is rather forgiving and allows for
corrections and revisions, and finally, the fine grain of the
pigment it contains makes detailed drawings possible. Award-winning
illustrator Aljoscha Blau shares his many years of experience,
offers material recommendations, tips for swift success,
suggestions on composition, the use of colour, tools and processes.
And he spices it all up with his own illustrations, which are both
an incentive and a feast for the eyes...
