Winsor & Newton - Designers' Gouache Introductory Set

Designers' Gouache Introductory Set

Master flat color techniques with ten essential professional gouache hues

Water-soluble for easy cleanup, but engineered for flat, matte coverage that photographs beautifully and scans without glare. This matters for illustration work destined for reproduction, where consistent color density and sharp edges determine professional results.

Ten 14ml tubes provide genuine working quantities of carefully selected pigments. The palette spans primaries for color mixing fundamentals, Primary Yellow, Red, and Blue establish your foundation, while Spectrum Red and Permanent Yellow Deep extend your range. Ultramarine delivers the deep blue illustration work demands, Forest Green handles natural subjects, and Yellow Ochre provides essential earth tones. Ivory Black and Zinc White complete the set with the opacity control that makes gouache distinctive.

Winsor & Newton formulates these paints with finely ground pigments suspended in gum arabic, creating the smooth, even consistency that allows precise brushwork and clean color transitions. The medium rewets easily, so you can reactivate dried paint on your palette rather than wasting it. Use it straight from the tube for maximum opacity, or thin it for transparent washes that maintain more control than traditional watercolor. Designers, illustrators, and animators choose gouache when opaque, reproducible color matters more than atmospheric effects.
