This video is about five reasons why you should try gouache over oil and acrylic. In this video I have explained five advantages of gouache paint while painting the portrait of a girl. The first advantage is that the gouache paint dries quite fast and as a result it allows layering of paint easily. It was helpful for painting the skin tone of this portrait where I layered a lot of different colors together in order to capture the lifelike skin tone. The second advantage with gouache is that it is an organic medium because it doesn’t contain any solvent or any such things, it contains gum Arabic as a binder which is a natural extract so for those people who are searching for an organic medium to paint with, gouache is an excellent choice. The third advantage is that, it is water based and thus it is resoluble. Apart from this, it is also very handy for cleaning the brushes and palette because it doesn’t require any extra solvent or cleaner. The most significant advantage with gouache is that it allows infinite blending time, which is very essential for realism because it requires a lot of blending in order to attain a particular effect on a certain area. With gouache, a painted area can be reworked after a gap of several days because the colors are instantly activated once a damp brush rolls over the surface of painted area. The other important advantage that you get using gouache is that it dries matte and as a result it is very easy to photograph your finished piece.
To understand the whole process with more details, watch the full video.
