Can I safely remove gouache from an acrylic painting without damaging the acrylics?
AmyJonesfb3242
Yes. Acrylic dries impervious to water, and gouache remains water-soluble, so you should be able to dissolve the gouache with water without affecting the acrylic. However, if the gouache was applied before the acrylic was completely dry, there may have been some mixing or staining that is not reversible. Some pigments tend to stain the surface more than others (phthalo blues and greens for example). Test on a small area.

What animal hair is best for acrylic painting?
Believe it or not, the best brushes for acrylic painting are also the least expensive. The synthetic brushes with the white fibers work beautifully and degrade much more slowly than those made with natural bristle or hair. Sable and horse hair are terrific for oils or gouache, but in the case of acrylics, pair synthetic with synthetic.

What is the difference between watercolour and gouache paints?
Gouache can be used on canvas or paper, although I would say most artists use it on paper. Gouache and watercolors and acrylics are very similar; the primary difference between gouache and watercolors are that gouache paints are opaque and most watercolors are tansparent / translucent. This is not entirely accurate, however, because highly-diluted gouache paints are translucent as well.
Similarity between acrylic and water colour?
Water colors and acrylics are both paints that are harder to mix.The consistency is alot alike.If you notice,oils really mix well because it is thicker. water color and acrylics also dry more quickly rather than oils.In reality oils takes up to one year to really be considered dry!Water colors dry within minutes and acrylics make take up to an hour depending how thick your paint layers is.Water color and acrylics are also cheaper than oils. Acrylic can be used thick without mixing with water at all, like oil, or it can be thinned with water a great deal, like watercolor. It's very versatile and dries quickly. ..................................................... I really don't see any similarity between watercolour and acrylic, for me watercolour is a very fine and beautiful material whereas acrylic is merely plastic in paint form. Maybe if you really water acrylic down you can get a worthwhile result but I've always found any acrylic painting that is OK would be a hundred times better if painted in oil or watercolour. the closest thing to acrylic that works nicely is gouache paint.
Can you air brush in gouache and paint oil over it?
No, I think not. Use acrylics, as the gum in the gouache tends to leave oils tacky if you live in a moist climate or near the sea, especially any impasto-type technique.
