Pébéo Studio Gouache 220 ml

Paint matt areas of colour for illustrations, colour studies and models. Pébéo Studio Gouache Super Maquette is opaque water-based paint with a creamy consistency. You receive one 220 ml tube in your chosen colour. Choose brushes, a palette and paper separately.

Choose a colour for your work

These four colours are individual additions to your palette, rather than a complete primary mixing set. Add white for lighter mixes; use black for dark accents and contrast. Mix Studio Gouache colours on your palette before applying them.

• 11 Permanent white: for white areas and lighter colour mixes.
• 22 Lemon yellow: a bright yellow for lively colour accents.
• 26 Ivory black: for dark areas, lines and contrast.
• 45 Spring green: a cool green shade for green areas of colour.

Painting on paper and card

1. Choose paper, Bristol board or card suited to the amount of water you intend to use. Make a small colour sample on the same material first.
2. Apply the paint directly for opaque areas, or add water a little at a time on your palette to adjust the intensity.
3. Let the sample dry before judging it against your intended colour. Mix enough of the same shade on your palette for the next area.

Drying and judging your colours

Allow a few hours to dry, depending on dilution and paper weight. The paint dries matt. White and ivory black have very good lightfastness; lemon yellow and spring green have good lightfastness. This describes the colour’s resistance to light, rather than guaranteeing an unchanged painting in every setting.
