Holbein Acryla Gouache 20ml

Holbein Acryla Gouache is an highly pigmented opaque acrylic based gouache paint which is lightfast, permanent and dries to a velvety-matte finish. It moves, reacts, blends and feels like traditional Gum Arabic gouache but because it is made with an acrylic resin binder it is water resistant once dry. Because it is made with an acrylic resin binder it does not have a fragile paint film and is compatible with any water soluble medium (which means you can paint watercolour over Acryla Gouache and it does not move or bleed). It is water soluble whilst wet and water resistant once dried. It can be mixed with other acrylic or traditional gouaches, as well as with watercolours.

Acryla Gouache is great for grounds and layering. It is compatible with all water-soluble media and possesses excellent light resistance.

Holbein’s Luminous Colours offer brilliance and high chroma in a unique modern palette of colours. However, because they contain fluorescent dyes and fugitive pigments, they will fade and the colours will be affected by exposure to ultraviolet light. Therefore, we recommend using a varnish with UV protection, to not keeping your painting in direct sunline or for works that are temporary, or that are meant to be reproduced and used in a digital or printed format.
