gouache

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

gouache

Painting medium in which watercolour is mixed with opaque white pigment. Applied in the same way as watercolour, gouache gives a chalky finish similar to that of tempera painting. It has long been popular in continental Europe, where Dürer and Boucher were both masters of the technique. Poster paints are usually a form of gouache.
