Looking for the best gouache paint for your creative work? Here, we compare different brands and products, from pots to tubes, and share tips on paints for various techniques, working styles and skill levels.
Best gouache paint for beginners
If you're new to gouache, sets are often the best place to start, offering a ready-made selection of colours that makes it easy to get going straight away. With gouache in particular, quality also makes a big difference, as good pigments and high opacity make it easier to achieve even colour application and work in layers. That’s why we’re happy to recommend high-quality gouache paints that give beginners the strong start they deserve.

Best artist-quality gouache paint
For those seeking high pigmentation, lightfastness and greater control in their painting, artist-quality colours are the obvious choice. They often offer richer colour intensity, smoother coverage and better opportunities for working in layers, all of which are key elements of gouache painting. These ranges deliver for anyone looking for the very best.

Best white gouache paint
Many watercolour artists use white gouache for highlights and white details in finished paintings, something that can be difficult to achieve with regular watercolour paint alone. That’s why we sell a wide range of gouache in white shades, and with some of our brands, white tubes are also available individually.
- Aquafine Gouache 38 ml or 15 ml Titanium white, Zinc white
- Winsor & Newton Designer Gouache 37 ml or 14 ml
Permanent white 512, Zinc white 748
Best gouache paint sets
