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.

Can I paint over acrylic paint with gouache?

Yes, you can paint over acrylic paint with gouache, as gouache is water-based and can adhere to acrylic surfaces. However, for the best results, ensure that the acrylic paint is fully dry before applying gouache. Keep in mind that gouache is more opaque and may not adhere as well to glossy finishes, so consider using a matte medium or a light sanding on the acrylic surface if needed.
