Winsor & Newton 14ml Designers Gouache Primary Colour Tubes Set - Pack of 6 (Multicolor)

Q: I can not understand what the difference is between "opaque watercolors" and gouache paints?

HelloOpaque watercolours are the same as other watercolour, the pigment in them alter the transparency/ opacity of the paint; generally speaking, yellows are transparent whereas darker colours like violet or blacks are more opaque. A difference between watercolour and gouache is that gouache is a chalkier paint making the colours are more opaque.Hope that helps.Kind regardsTegan

Q: I make greeting cards and stamp and color on fabric. Does this have to be used with water color paper or can it be used on card stock and on fabric?

Hi there :) Do not use it on fabric. Watercolor in any form is not a permanent paint like acrylic. Even if it's for quilting or a wall hanging, watercolor and Gouache (which is essentially just opaque WC) isn't meant for fabric use, it will wash away when exposed to water and it will not hold up to any kind of handling on fabric. Use acrylic for such purposes. Card stock will be fine. Watercolor and gouache likes paper. The only thing stopping you would be if the paper is too lightweight and thin to handle water based media. Look for 140-200lb. cotton rag watercolor paper, it makes beautiful cards I hear. Regular cardstock if heavy, can handle light washes.

Q: Is the primary set good for a beginner?

Yes this primary set is good for a beginner. This set is best when mixing colors, where as other sets, when mixing you will not get true color mix.

Q: is the designer set of primary watercolor gouache light fast or should I be getting artist sets??

Designers gouache in general is made to provide bright and convenient colors but they’re not always lightfast. They’re often used for quick temporary works. If you use a lot of water, the paint’s lightfastness may be affected. (This also applies to any brand of watercolor or gouache.) If you want lightfast/archival gouache paints, research M Graham Gouache on their website. They explain about their unique paints. They have a color chart with lightfast information and most of them are lightfast. I was able to ask for samples from them and they’re really nice paints. I don’t know if M Graham does samples during the pandemic. I got their samples a little over a year ago. Basically, they make their paints with honey and use high quality pigments for longevity while Winsor and Newton use various ingredients to provide bright convenient colors. If you must use Winsor and Newton brand gouache, I strongly recommend looking up their color chart on their website and look for a roman numeral 1 and 2 for that color which are considered lightfast according to ASTM measures. Hope this helps.
