If you've been curious about gouache (pronounced 'gwäsh') paint, this is the perfect small scale set to test the waters! This artist quality kit includes two mixed media paper pads (one white, one black), Princeton Umbria brushes which are made for gouache use, and professional artist quality Holbein Designer Gouache in 5ml tubes. Since gouache is opaque (not transparent), we've included the black paper in this kit for extra experimentation.
