Gouache is an opaque paint with characteristics of both acrylic and watercolour, often described as "opaque watercolor." It creates vibrant, luminous art.
Gouache is pronounced "gwahsh," "goo-ahsh," or "gwash."
Use Gouache Stix directly for bold colour, blend with water for a watercolour effect, or mix colours with a brush or finger. They work on paper, wood, and other surfaces, and pair well with Watercolour Brush Pens and acrylic paint pens for added detail.

Hello I am Jodi, wonderful to meet you
In today’s fast-paced, modern world, we are over-worked, over-connected and under increasing levels of pressure, stress and overwhelm. Many are looking for ways to opt-out, slow down and reconnect with what truly matters, but don’t know where to start.
These gouache stix are so creamy and vibrant. They’re great for making backgrounds and also adding a pop of colour to a final piece. I also found them useful to use a wet brush straight from the stix onto the paper. That way makes for a great watercolour effect.
Thank you for your positive review!
We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying our Pastel Gouache Paint Stix. We designed them to be creamy and vibrant for a playful and fun experience, just like a child's creativity. We love the idea of using them for backgrounds and adding a pop of colour to final pieces. And using a wet brush straight from the stix for a watercolor effect is a great tip!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Happy creating!
