FAQs
Is this gouache suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Pebeo Studio Gouache Set is excellent for beginners due to its ease of use, vibrant colors, and the included brush, allowing immediate practice.
Can I mix these gouache colors?
Absolutely. The set provides a versatile palette designed for easy mixing and blending to create a wide range of new colors.
How do I clean up after using the gouache?
Clean up is simple with water and soap. Ensure brushes and palettes are cleaned promptly after use while the paint is still wet.
What is the finish of Pebeo Studio Gouache?
Pebeo Studio Gouache dries to a characteristic matte, velvety finish.
Can I layer gouache paint?
Yes, gouache is ideal for layering. Its opaque nature allows you to cover previous layers effectively, and its fast-drying time facilitates quick layering.
How long does the paint last once opened?
When stored properly with the caps tightly sealed, the gouache paint can last for a considerable time. It's best to keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I use water with this gouache?
Yes, the formula is water-based, meaning you can thin the paint with water for different effects or reactivate dried paint on your palette or artwork.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to spread
Add a small amount of water to the paint on your palette and mix until the desired consistency is reached.
Colors appear dull after drying
Ensure you are using the paint at full opacity without over-thinning. Gouache colors typically become slightly lighter when dry, but should retain their brilliance. Check that the paint has not been applied too thinly over a dark or uneven surface.
Paint has dried on the palette and is hard to remove
While gouache is reworkable when wet, dried paint on non-porous palettes can be soaked with water and gently scraped off. For porous palettes, cleaning might require more effort.
Paint seems to be cracking when dry
This can occur if applied in excessively thick layers without sufficient binder, or if applied to a very flexible surface that is then bent. Ensure even application and consider using a primer on flexible surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The set is ready to use out of the box. Simply uncap the tubes, squeeze a small amount of paint onto your palette, and add water as needed.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Works well on paper, cardstock, illustration board, and primed canvas.
- Media: Can be used alone or in mixed media with watercolors, acrylics, pencils, and markers.
- Dilution: Can be thinned with water for washes or used directly from the tube for maximum opacity.
Care:
- Storage: Store tubes capped tightly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is properly sealed to prevent paint from drying out.
