Derived from the Italian guazzo,
gouache is a type of paint consisting of pigment and a binding agent.
Also spelled guache, it is designed to be used in an opaque method.
Originally a term that applied to an early 16th century practice, guazzo
was the practice of applying oil paint over a tempera base, it was used
as early as the 14th century in Europe. Not to be confused with
gauche...
