What's the difference between gouache and other paints? |

 Gouache is water based non-permanent water soluble paint, somewhat like watercolour except its particles are larger, among other things it contains chalk and is opaque. Because of the particle size gouache comes to life when airbrushed. The large particles are more reflective whether brushed or sprayed but the atomizing of the spray enhances the characteristic. These colours tend to be more vibrant when wet and will dry to a flat matte finish. Bear in mind that dark colours will always dry lighter and the light colours will always dry darker. It can be painted on watercolour paper, illustration board or other paper surfaces, but not normally on traditional canvas.
