Description
Stoneground Gouache 24 Set
The introductory Stoneground Gouache 24 palette contains a versatile combination of half pan gouache colours. This set features a combination of warm and cool, modern and traditional colours, as well as nine custom colours created by Stoneground in-house artists to round this palette into one perfect for an enormous range of subject matter. These half pans are also available individually.
Stoneground gouache is a water-based media that dries to an opaque, matte finish. You can apply colours in layers, allowing you to refine and define your painting as you work. Because it is water-based, you can dilute gouache with water and used it wet-on-wet in the same manner as watercolour. Conversely, the chalk content in gouache means that it won’t bloom or flow like watercolour paint. You can lighten gouache by adding white, and layer it from dark to light due to its opaque nature. Colours are easily mixed with one another and can be used interchangeably with Stoneground watercolour paint.
The Stoneground Gouache 24 palette contains 24 half pans of handmade gouache in a hinged metal palette box. Measuring approximately 8 3/4” x 3 1/2”, this compact size is ideal for travel and plein air painting.

Modern Colours
Stoneground defines modern colours as those developed and discovered after 1704, which was when the accidental discovery of Prussian Blue occurred. The colours Stoneground classifies as such, contain organic and inorganic pigments and are typically characterized by their intense and bright appearance.
Traditional Colours
Traditional Gouache colours have been used by artists for hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of years. These are primarily inorganic pigments like iron oxides, green earths, and the umber and sienna pigments of the Renaissance. In some instances, they include the modern equivalent of a traditional pigment. For example, Titanium White, which replaces toxic Lead White in artist’s materials.
