THE PAPER THAT WORKS WITH GOUACHE

     If you are new to the realm of art, you need to know the available paints and how you can use them. Watercolour, Acrylic Gouache and many more.

 

                There are a variety of mediums in painting, but here to give the gist of the vividly used paints by artists are Watercolor, Acrylic, Gouache and oil pastels. But this all needs a paper medium that elevates the result of the drawings. The watercolour paint goes well with 240 GSM, and 300 GSM; it is ancient because even a non-artist person knows about watercolour. The next one is Acrylic paint. It gives you the surrealistic outlook of the sketch, and also it gives you the fun of learning when it is diluted with water. The level of water you use gives you the difference when it dries. It gives you a glossy finish. 

• Now let me tell you what briefly is gouache.

               Gouache combines the exciting characteristics of watercolour and acrylic paints, and it gives you the shiny look by achieving to matt finish.

               Gouache has a considerable history, having been used for at least 12 centuries. It is quite popular and widely used for illustrations, posters, and comics. Watercolour and gouache work well. The outcome of these paintings is as pretty as a picture.

• How to explore your Color Palettes?

                  If you are a beginner or an artist, this Gouache Pad will be your place to create your palette. When I was practising in my gouache pad from Menorah, I only understood how the colour mixtures gave me an en number of colours and the fun while playing with colours. Menorah has introduced a 240 GSM Gouache pad; it helped me try out for colour palette.

• Are you confused about what paper should be used?

                  Being an artist or as a beginner, you should know what paper and paints will go along. Let me tell you a few things which might help you

1. GSM- Gram per Square metre

                  The more the thickness of the paper, the density of colours pays off well. The higher the GSM goes, the thickness of the paper brings a good outcome. 70 GSM is a normal paper that is gradually used among people.

1. 60 to 120GSM

                 These are widely used, but the more standards for writing are 80 gsm, and the more it is for printing and writing

1. 140 to 300 GSM

                 The thickness of the paper is made for drawing purposes. I can tell you about Menorah. This brand manufactures products on their own for art and more. This brand of Sketchbook is handmade; it is widely popular in the art realm among artists.

                 The weight of the paper determines in what medium it will look good. Only, for this reason, the GSM is important. Menorah has a gouache pad launched; their products are specifically made for artists' needs and convenience. You can also try this brand or anything available for you to try. My best wishes to you guys to enjoy the fun in art.
