Our signature product.
A key advantage of this set is the availability of individual refills. You can replace your favorite or frequently used colors as needed without purchasing a new full set. In total, the collection offers 77 unique gouache shades, allowing you to gradually expand and customize your palette over time.
Thanks to its high pigment concentration, the paint delivers dense, opaque coverage with smooth, even application. Lighter shades can be applied carefully over darker layers while maintaining controlled opacity and clean color results.

HOW TO GET GREAT RESULTS FAST
- Stir if needed
- Use less water for maximum opacity
- Add water for softer blends
- Close lids tightly after use
Gouache offers versatile performance depending on how you use it.
Apply it straight from the cup for dense, opaque coverage with strong, solid color. Add water to achieve lighter, softer washes with a more transparent effect similar to watercolor.
This flexibility allows you to move between flat illustration-style painting and delicate layered details — all within the same set.
DURABLE CASE FOR STORAGE
The set includes 42 gouache colors in large 50 ml cups, each with an individual lid to help keep the paint fresh between uses. All cups are neatly organized in a durable case with a handle for easy storage and convenient transport.
RECTIVATE WITH WATER
If your gouache dries in the cup — don’t throw it away.
Gouache can be easily reactivated with water. Simply add a few drops of water, let it sit for a moment, and gently mix to restore a smooth, workable consistency.
This makes gouache practical for long-term use and helps reduce paint waste.
