SIMSUM ARTS

Gouache is a water-based paint that has an opaque and flat look after it dries. Since gouache is a water-soluble paint, it can be reworked as it can lift up the paint after it dries. Gouache’s painting might seem unrecognised, but when implied with your style, it produces a very different outcome than the rest
