A practical introduction to gouache painting

Viddhi Saschit’s guide brings together foundational materials advice, color-mixing recipes, and project-based instruction for painting with gouache, an opaque watercolor medium. Step-by-step photographs and templates support projects ranging from flowers and landscapes to travel destinations and phrases. Premade palettes in several colorways offer a starting point for choosing colors, while the book also addresses the creative process through encouragement to set aside judgment. The mix of setup guidance and guided exercises makes the book as much a hands-on introduction as a collection of painting prompts.
