Gouache tempera paints of the highest quality contain a high amount of natural pigment, which guarantees bright and intense colours after drying. The very thick consistency guarantees excellent opacity and at the same time fine shading possibilities. They are suitable for paper, cardboard, cardboard, wood, glass. Abrasion resistant, non-staining, non-cracking after drying. To achieve the greatest colour intensity, do not dilute with water. Individual colours can be mixed with each other to achieve a wider range of colours. By dampening the canvas with a wet sponge and applying the colours, a slow blending effect can be achieved.
Use:
The tempera can be applied with a spatula onto card or wood. This technique is only recommended in order to achieve a crackled affect; the built-up blobs of paint crack because the outer layer dries more quickly than the layer beneath.
Splashing a painting with a toothbrush is an effective way of creating texture. To obtain bigger splashes you can use a round paintbrush dipped in plenty of paint which can be tapped firmly against the handle of another paintbrush or with the fingers.
Apply the tempera to different-shaped sponges directly from the bottle or from a palette with a mixture of the chosen colour. Then press the sponge onto a surface, like a stamp, to leave its imprint. Rinse the sponge out before the paint dries to remove any paint residue.
- Painting with three colours
A great variety of colours can be achieved by using blue, magenta and yellow and mixing them together.
