Gouache is a form of watercolor that is less transparent. I used my 40% off Michaels coupon and bought an inexpensive set. I was disappointed to find that, though the paint looked different, it went on the paper just like watercolor! But perhaps I was using too much water with it. So I tried using it straight out of the tube and what a difference! When I was not happy with the bull's facial coloring, I just put more paint on top and it changed! You can't do THAT with transparent watercolor! Anyhow, here is the 5x7 result.
