Yes, it is. It's made with gum arabic and chalk (which makes the color opaque, i.e. you cannot see through the color). When dry, it has a unique, velvety texture and rich, deep color. Years after a gouache painting has dried, it can still be blended and re-worked with a wet brush. It was the standard medium in fashion illustration and popular with illustrators until the introduction of commercial design markers.

Type of paint consisting of a pigment suspended in water?
Gouache (from the Italian guazzo, "water paint, splash") or bodycolor (the term preferred by art historians) is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water. Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities.
