The Titanium White variant gives artists a reliable, bright white that covers underlying layers and provides crisp highlights, flat colour fields, or mixed tints. Packaged in a 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) aluminium tube, it’s convenient for studio use, plein air work, or travel. Please note: see local regulations for any product chemical warnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this Titanium White gouache behave compared with watercolour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike transparent watercolour, this gouache is engineered to be opaque and matte, allowing it to sit on top of painted surfaces rather than stain them. It reactivates with water, making corrections and reworking possible, but dries to a flat, velvety surface that reproduces well in scans and photography. You can layer it over darker passages to achieve solid corrections or luminous highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh pigment concentration for true opacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGum arabic binder for controllable flow and reworkability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDries matte for scan-ready, non-reflective finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for layering and opaque corrections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat techniques and surfaces work best with this 15 ml Titanium White?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gouache performs well on heavyweight papers, illustration boards, and primed surfaces that tolerate water media. It’s ideal for gouache-specific techniques like flat colour fields, crisp edges, and opaque overlays, and it mixes cleanly with other DANIEL SMITH extra fine colours to produce tints without losing opacity. For mixed-media, it adheres well over dry ink, graphite, and watercolour underpaintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy watercolour paper (300 gsm or higher) for minimal buckling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIllustration board or gessoed panels for smooth, flat application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombines with watercolours for controlled tints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks over dry ink and graphite for highlights and corrections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store and use the 15 ml tube to keep it fresh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the tube sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment and binder quality. Use a palette that limits exposure to airflow for longer open-time; leftovers can be returned to the tube if uncontaminated. If the paint thickens over time, a few drops of distilled water will reflow the gouache without compromising colour integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew cap closed between uses to prevent skin formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore horizontally to avoid leakage and maintain consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd distilled water sparingly to rehydrate thickened paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid contaminating tube with brush residues to extend shelf life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Titanium White mix with other colours, and what results can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTitanium White is a powerful opacifier that tints opaque and semi-opaque mixes without weakening coverage dramatically. Small amounts produce subtle lightening; larger additions yield pastel or opaque solids while maintaining the matte gouache look. Because of its opacity, it’s also excellent for creating highlights and crisp edges on finished work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse sparingly for precise tinting of saturated hues\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains matte finish even in mixed tints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces clean, opaque highlights over dark passages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairs well with other DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine gouache colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Artists, illustrators, and designers who need a dependable, professional-grade, opaque white in a compact tube will appreciate DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Gouache Titanium White 15 ml. It’s suited to studio painters who require matte, scan-friendly finishes, illustrators who build layers and corrections, and mixed-media creators who combine ink, watercolour, or acrylic underlayers.
