About this material

Holbein Artists' Gouache is an opaque watercolor that you thin with water and that covers the colors underneath. The colors are bright, stay clear when mixed, and dry to a matte finish. Most tubes are 15 ml, and each color is sold on its own. Sets in 5 ml tubes come in 12 and 18 colors. Sets in 15 ml tubes come in 12, 18, 24, and 84 colors, and there is also a 5-color set of basic colors. There is also a series of Japanese colors called Irodori, with a 12-color set for each season: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The paint covers well, so you can paint over colors that are already there. You can also use it together with Holbein's transparent watercolors.

Translated from the Japanese original.
