Renowned for its brilliance, opacity, and great tinting strength, Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache is a finely ground, water-based paint, well suited to illustrations with pen, brush, or airbrush. All Designers Gouache colours are fully compatible with Winsor & Newton Artists' and Cotman watercolours.
For fine art painting, watercolour papers are recommended. For design and illustration, where work is intended for electronic scanning and reproduction, use illustration board or a Hot Press watercolour paper to get a flat finish that reproduces well.
