Gouache - Maimeri Gouache

Extrafine gouache colours
Maimeri Gouache is refinement. A selection of tempera paints taking its name from an old technique in which colour is rendered more reflective and opaque when mixed with premium gum arabic. The result is sedate in timbre, unique, more so than the more common tempera colours. Prized pigments that, when dry, look slightly paler than the wet tones, taking on a satiny, pearly appearance that can always be reversed. The luminous effect is highlighted through use on coloured paper or raw backgrounds of various kinds.
54 colours 20 ml. White: 60 ml

First application: 100% Maimeri Puro colour: Maimeri Puro tints are highly concentrated so some colours appear very dark when used in their pure form.

Second application: 50% Maimeri Puro colour + 50% Colourless Medium, i.e. a neutral unpigmented paste. This medium is used for thinning the tints, enhancing the flow and emphasizing the depth of the thinned colour.

Third application: 10% Maimeri Puro colour + 90% Glazing Medium to emphasize the sheen of the tint and the different degree of opaqueness between the colours.

Fourth application: 50% Maimeri Puro colour + 50% Titanium White, to emphasize the undertone of the tint and highlight the concentration.
