An artist working on a watercolor using a round brush.

Watercolor refers to both the medium and the resulting artwork. The traditional and most common supportâmaterial to which the paint is appliedâfor watercolor paintings is paper.

Opaque Watercolor. Gouache is a unique painting medium. It is a water-based paint that can be used like watercolor with thin washes, but it is opaque enough to be used like acrylic. These characteristics allow gouache to be used in a variety of different ways on a variety of different surfaces.ouache can be reactivated when water is added, so each layer reactivates the color underneath a bit. When used as a watercolor, transparent washes can be used. Although, even coverage of pigment is a bit harder to achieve with gouache. I suspect this is due to the larger particles of pigment in gouache.
