Gouache: a perfect medium for naturalist art
Gouache is a medium that combines the best of both worlds: the fluidity of watercolours and the richness of acrylics. It is an opaque water-based medium that's not only versatile but also easy and forgiving to work with. It allows you to capture both the brilliant colours of nature and the subtle blends of light, making it a perfect voice for naturalist illustrations of birds, insects, and flowers.
