What is the origin of the Gouache technique?
Gouache (from Italian guazzo) is a substance using a binder (glycerin) or a gummed water-based solvent (gum arabic). Covering and opaque (unlike watercolor), it mixes easily and dilutes with water (tempera paint). Widely used by artists, the term gouache designates both the material, which is found in a tube, and the result, which is observed on the canvas. The coloring matters are diluted with water and made pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, overlap, so that we paint in both gouache and oil. Gouache is recommended for its bright, fresh and delicate tones.Some famous artists have excelled in the use of this technique, notably the Frenchman Paul Gauguin.

Origins and History
Contemporary gouache paintings have their roots in ancient Egypt and medieval Europe, where artists used opaque watercolors to create illuminated manuscripts. However, it was not until the late 18th century that gouache became a popular medium for artists. During this time, French artists such as Jean-Baptiste Pillement and Jean-Baptiste Isabey used gouache to create delicate floral and landscape paintings. In the 20th century, artists such as Raoul Dufy and Henri Matisse popularized gouache as a medium for bold, colorful paintings. Today, Contemporary Artists continue to use gouache for its versatility and vibrant pigments. The popularity of gouache has led to the development of new techniques, such as layering and mixing with other media. As artists experiment with new methods and materials, the future of gouache painting remains bright.
