Description
ColourJot Rosa Gouache Sets
Choose from 6 sets of 3 Rosa Gouache colours in 40ml plastic jars. Pair these Colourjot colour mixing trios with your favourite Colourjot Template (sold separately).
Gouache is the preferred paint option for colour theory for artists accustomed to working in oil or acrylic because it has a similar tactile feel and brush handling. Plus, unlike watercolour, Gouache is opaque and cannot rely on the white of the page to light colours. White must be used to create tints and lighter colours. Always buy extra white. White is sold separately.

About Rosa Gouache
ROSA gouache is a thick, water-based, opaque paint with gum arabic as a binder. Colours have good coverage, mix well, and create a matt finish after drying. Even when dry, gouache is easily rewettable with water, and top layers can always be softly blended into previous ones. ROSA Gouache Paints are made in Ukraine and are produced using high-quality pigments, including excellent covering power, smooth creamy consistency, and good lightfastness. Due to finely ground pigments, ROSA Gouache Paints are water-soluble and can be used like watercolours, which allows the artists to successfully embody their ideas and go beyond the borders of gouache fine art techniques.
Key differences between Watercolour and Gouache:
Gouache and watercolour are both water-soluble, but gouache is opaque, while watercolour is transparent. This difference in opacity leads to distinct techniques and applications for each medium.
Opacity:
- Gouache: Provides a dense, opaque finish that can cover colours or paper underneath, allowing for layering and light-on-dark techniques.
- Watercolour: Colours are visible through each other, creating luminous, layered effects.
Blending:
- Gouache: Less blendable than watercolour, with colours that do not easily bleed together.
- Watercolour: Allows for easy blending and mixing of colours.
Paper:
- Gouache: Can be used on a wider range of paper weights, including thinner ones.
- Watercolour: Typically requires thicker, textured paper to support the water and avoid buckling.
