Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache
Winsor & Newton have been producing Designers Gouache since 1935 and to this day we continue to offer the finest artists' gouache range available.
Designers Gouache colours are a range of opaque water colours, mainly used by designers, illustrators and commercial artists to create vibrant illustrations in solid colour. Gouache is also widely used in fine art as an opaque water colour.
Today the Designers Gouache range benefits from significant developments in technology and is smoother, flatter, more opaque and more brilliant than ever before.
Intermixability
All Designers Gouache colours are fully intermixable. Designers Gouache, Professional Water Colour, and Cotman Water Colour can also be fully intermixed.
Pigments
The opacity of Designers Gouache is due to the exceptionally high levels of pigmentation in the formulation, which results in both covering power and clean colour mixing. The natural attribute of each pigment adds to the level of opacity and contributes to covering power.
Matt Finish
As a result of the high level of pigmentation and the Gum Arabic binder Designers Gouache dries to a matt finish. This reduces reflection when photographing gouache art work.
Designers
Its ease of use, brilliance, quick drying and matt finish make it the most popular designers' and illustrators' colour. The opaque matt finish makes for more accurate reproduction at artwork stage as it minimizes reflections.
Fine Artists
Use it in conjunction with water colour or on its own as opaque water colour. Its brilliance and opacity give it solidity, excellent for abstract work and extra details. Strong effects also result from the contrast of working on coloured backgrounds which are left partly exposed.
Calligraphers
Gouache is used by calligraphers because of its excellent flow, opacity and permanence.
Marblers
The high pigmentation and gum arabic base make it a common choice with professional marblers.
