<p>Gouache paint</p><p>The gouache pigment is composed of powdery materials, fixed with glue, and has a strong coverage. So when painting gouache, I often start with the darkest color. It can be covered layer by layer, and if the skills are good, you can also paint the same effect as an oil painting. But the color is darker when the pigment is wet, and lighter when it dries. There are also purple colors such as rose red and violet that are easy to turn out, so they are not used as a primer.</p><p><br></p><p>Watercolor paints</p><p>The color particles of <a href="https://www.union-rise.com/watercolour-paints" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">watercolor paint</a> is very fine, and the color is very beautiful after being dissolved in water, but it cannot cover the background color. Watercolor pigments such as ultramarine, ocher, earth red and other colors are mineral pigments. They are prone to precipitation when used alone or mixed with other colors. Most watercolor pigments are relatively transparent. Watercolor can enhance the transparency of objects, especially for the texture of transparent objects such as glass, metal, and reflective surfaces. Transparent and reflective surfaces are very suitable for expression in watercolor. When coloring watercolors from lighter to darker, avoid overlapping brushes as much as possible. It is best to use one-shot painting. The materials are all different. Watercolor focuses on wet and dry painting. There is a lot of water, so light colors should be used and the coverage is small. The gouache painting is heavier, and the gouache has a covering property, is relatively dry, and has a more layered feeling.</p><p><br></p><p>Which is simpler gouache or watercolor</p><p>Compared with watercolor, gouache is easier to master, because it has a strong covering power, can modify the wrong place, and the technique is relatively monotonous, allowing beginners to focus on the study of shape and color.</p><p>Whether it is watercolor or gouache, painters are required to have a certain knowledge of color theory. Only by mastering the skill of toning and the corresponding color rules can a color work be completed.</p><p><br></p><p>The difference between watercolor paint and gouache paint</p><p>Watercolor paint</p><p>1. Watercolor paint is soluble in water. When painting, it is mainly diluted with water as a medium. After it dries, you can add water to continue using it.</p><p>2. Watercolor paint is divided into solid watercolor paint and paste watercolor paint.</p><p>3. Watercolor paint is very light and thin, but the coverage is very weak. Watercolor paintings generally cannot be modified by overlapping colors repeatedly. Generally, paint from light colors and slowly transition to dark colors.</p><p>4. Watercolor paints have relatively high requirements on paper when painting, and generally choose a slightly thicker watercolor special paper with good water absorption.</p><p>5. The color material of watercolor paint is very finely ground and the price is high.</p><p>6. Watercolor paint is not suitable for more than 3 color blends. The blending of 3 colors will cause the picture to be dark and dirty.</p><p><br></p><p>Gouache paint</p><p>1. The gouache pigment is made of coloring agent, filler, cementing agent, wetting agent, preservative and other raw materials. There are many brands of gouache pigments on the market.</p><p>2. It can be diluted with water, and it can be washed off when it adheres to clothes in a short time, but it is not easy to wash after a long time.</p><p>3. The dry and wet changes of gouache pigments are very large. When wet, the saturation is relatively high. After drying, the purity, saturation, and brightness will decrease, and the color will become lighter; after the gouache works are stored for a long time, the colored parts are easy to crack .</p><p>4. Part of the color of gouache paint is not easy to cover, such as: deep red, rose red, green lotus, etc.</p><p>5. It has a certain degree of toxicity, but it will not cause harm to the human body. It should not be eaten.</p><p>6. Gouache pigments can reconcile a variety of colors, and can reconcile many intermediate colors and high-grade grays.</p><p><br></p><p>Difference between the two</p><p>1. Different pigment particles</p><p>The watercolor paint has fine particles and weak coverage.</p><p>The gouache particles are large, so the covering power is strong.</p><p>2. Different drawing methods</p><p>Watercolor requires a lot of water as a medium, and it needs to be painted layer by layer, from light to dark, from wet to dry, and generally repeat the coloring 2-5 times.</p><p>Gouache is much less than watercolor, mainly covering color, from dark to light and finally to highlight, from wet to dry.</p><p>3. The effect is different.</p><p>The watercolor effect is clear, the layering and expressiveness are even better.</p><p>The gouache effect is real, heavy, steady, and relatively easy to master.</p><p>4. Different painting tools</p><p>The tip of the watercolor pen is soft and absorbent.</p><p>The water chalk pen tip is hard and not very absorbent.</p>
