In this comprehensive beginner's guide, Zoe shares everything she possibly can about getting started with gouache painting. Why gouache? Because this exciting paint medium creates opaque effects making it more vibrant and graphic than traditional watercolours, meaning you can layer it, paint on dark backgrounds and much more. Gouache is one of the easiest of paint mediums to use. It’s very forgiving and fun to use and is also versatile. Gouache paint can mimic watercolour and can give the opacity of oil paint if used with less water. You can use it to paint large, smooth, flat blocks of background colour and the finest lines and details. Gouache paint also dries quickly too, which is a big bonus! Starting at the very start, Zoe takes you through the basics and explains what tools and materials you’ll need, then explores a wide range of techniques and finally, there are a host of fun and vibrant step-by-step projects that you can follow along with or use as a springboard for your own ideas. Zoe Ingram’s distinctive art makes this book a visual treat, as she shows you how she paints a variety of subjects, from birds and bugs, to flowers and foliage, to abstract collages, hand lettering and patterns. Along the way you’ll learn about colour theory, colour mixing, sketching, washes, mark making, line work, overlaying, working on dark backgrounds, how to get crisp edges, how to add details, different approaches to collage and even how to digitise your work so that you can create repeat patterns and custom prints. In the projects section you can follow along step-by-step as Zoe paints a very handsome pheasant, a funky beetle pattern, a trendy houseplant, colourful caterpillars, bright butterflies, jumbled geometric patterns, a striking owl, pretty florals, creative lettering, a curious cat and a free-flow abstract floral piece – after which there will be no stopping you! Beautifully illustrated, expertly explained and a riot of colour, this book will kickstart your love affair with gouache, so all that's left is deciding how to pronounce it... “gooash”...“gwash”...“goo-uhsh”?! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.5 x 11 inches | | Isbn 10 | 1446308316 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1446308318 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 128 pages | | Publication Date | March 16, 2021 | | Publisher | David & Charles | ## Images ![Oh My Gouache!: The beginner's guide to painting with opaque watercolour - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qGhldLZiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 16, 2026* Book is very nice and great condition! Better than I thought it might be! Arrived very Fast and was packed in strong envelope. Price was very good! No problems or issues with this purchase! Berta R. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much inspiring art included *by on Reviewed in the United States April 1, 2021* I loved this book! Every page is a color delight featuring stylish, modern imagery and fresh takes on painting flora and fauna. The Jumbled Geometry project comes with a gorgeous color palette to make the project easy to recreate. Zoe breaks down each of the steps on how to paint a number of items such as the cat painting and the charming potted plant image, which makes tackling these images very unintimidating. I'm thinking of doing the pretty plant image for my punch needle work. I've been curious as to how Zoe does her art, so reading/seeing her techniques on overlaying, mark-making and lettering where really fascinating. A great gouache how-to book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a colorful and inspiring start to gouache painting *by on Reviewed in the United States October 11, 2021* The colorful style and design of this book is irresistible and joyful. I think it's a good place to start if you are a beginner to gouache painting. You could do much worse--and you probably wouldn't get to enjoy all the cute animals and plants in this lovely book. The author/artist makes it fun and encouraging to play with colors, try different styles, and paint some really neat projects. What I especially appreciated were the tips on digitizing your artwork in Photoshop, to make collages, prints, etc. I've been learning how to use Photoshop, so it was nice to see this little tutorial included-- it's highly relevant for anyone making art today and putting it online. I do wish there was some info or insight about the uses of acrylic gouache too, but I guess for a beginner it's best to stick with plain ol gouache at first anyway. Of course, this book should be a springboard for all the delightful things you can do on your own. I certainly found it motivating, but I would also recommend regular studio time practice, and looking up gouache tutorials online for more in depth demos on things like blending, underpainting, layering, etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - Oh My Gouache!: The beginner's guide to painting with opaque watercolour - Get Started with Gouache: A Colorful Guide to Painting the World Around You - HIMI Gouache Paint Set, 24 Colors x 30ml/1oz with Brushes & Palette, Jelly Cup Design, Non-Toxic, Perfect for Beginners, Students, Artists(Green) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/209658894-oh-my-gouache-the-beginners-guide-to-painting-with-opaque](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/209658894-oh-my-gouache-the-beginners-guide-to-painting-with-opaque) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
