gouache
Matte water medium
Gouache is a type of opaque watercolor paint, or a painting made with it.
Unlike transparent watercolors, gouache dries to a matte, velvety finish that completely covers the surface beneath.
The pigments are mixed with a white chalk or gum that gives them body: She preferred gouache for its quick-drying opacity.
The word is French, pronounced roughly "gwash."
