Gouache is an opaque paint with characteristics of both acrylic and watercolour, often described as "opaque watercolor." It creates vibrant, luminous art.
Gouache is pronounced "gwahsh," "goo-ahsh," or "gwash."
Use Gouache Stix directly for bold colour, blend with water for a watercolour effect, or mix colours with a brush or finger. They work on paper, wood, and other surfaces, and pair well with Watercolour Brush Pens and acrylic paint pens for added detail.

Hello I am Jodi, wonderful to meet you
In today’s fast-paced, modern world, we are over-worked, over-connected and under increasing levels of pressure, stress and overwhelm. Many are looking for ways to opt-out, slow down and reconnect with what truly matters, but don’t know where to start.
I finally tried the gouche sticks, & I absolutely love them. I practice on the small Thankyou board we get with each order. I loved them so much, I used all my red from the Classic gouache sticks. I can no longer see them as an option to order, only the pastel ones. I hope they haven't been discontinued
Hi there,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you love our Gouache Paint Stix. Our team is constantly working to improve our product offerings and unfortunately, the Classic gouache sticks have been discontinued. However, we do have the pastel set available for purchase. We hope you continue to enjoy creating with our products!
Best,
Customer Service Team

Love these paint stix
Such a great range of colours and so lovely to use. My 3yo granddaughter and I have a lot of fun using these paint stix and they dry very nicely.

Lisa Cotter
Beautiful colours
These are really unique with such a lovely range of colours, the idea is they can be used on paper without the need of water, they blend easily and dry fast so mess free art for kids and adults alike, you can use them with a little water for extra blending or even rub them onto a plastic palette with water and use them like watercolours, easy to layer, can draw over the top of them with pencil or even acrylic markers, or glitter watercolours if careful! would make a wonderful gift.
