Holbein Acryla Gouache 20 ml Luminous Orange — opaque, waterproof matte finish

Holbein Acryla Gouache 20ml in Luminous Orange is a bright, water-mixable acrylic-gouache paint that dries to a permanent, waterproof matte finish while keeping the blending and opacity artists expect from traditional gouache.

Engineered for painters who want the look and handling of classic gouache but the durability of acrylic, this 20 ml tube of Luminous Orange delivers vivid, lightfast colour with a stable resin binder. The formulation stays true from wet application to dry film, resists cracking, and mixes smoothly with other water-based media. Whether you’re illustrating, designing, or producing fine artwork, this colour gives consistent coverage and dries to a flat, professional surface that’s easy to layer or varnish.

How does this Acryla Gouache behave compared to traditional gouache?

It blends and reworks like traditional gouache when wet but cures into a flexible, permanent film once dry, avoiding the fragility of gum arabic binders. The result is a matte finish that won’t re-solubilize with water after drying, making it more practical for mixed-media workflows.

• Pigment-rich opacity similar to traditional gouache
• Wet reworkability and smooth brush feel during application
• Dries permanent and waterproof—no lifting with water after cure
• Stable colour tone from wet to dry without noticeable shift

What practical uses does Luminous Orange suit best?

Luminous Orange is a high-energy hue ideal for accents, midtones, and bright highlights in illustrations, signage, and decorative work. Its strong tinting power and clean chroma make it useful for mixing warm palettes and creating bold contrasts in both fine art and commercial projects.

• Illustration, poster art, and graphic design accents
• Small-scale paintings and study work with precise coverage
• Colour-mixing to produce warm reds, oranges, and subtle glazes
• Surface decoration on paper, board, and primed wood

How should I apply and mix Holbein Acryla Gouache for best results?

Use clean water and synthetic brushes for crisp strokes; thin the paint to transparent glazes or apply straight from the tube for full opacity. It mixes seamlessly with other water-soluble mediums and with Holbein’s acrylic products, allowing layered techniques from flat matte fills to delicate washes.

• Apply directly for strong, opaque coverage
• Thin with water for controlled washes and glazing
• Layer after dry without reactivating previous layers
• Compatible with other water-based pigments and acrylic mediums

Will this paint last and how do I store it?

Formulated for permanence, the paint provides good lightfastness and dries to a durable film that resists water once cured. Store tubes capped and upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve consistency and prevent skinning in the tube.

• Lightfast pigments for lasting colour intensity
• Waterproof when dry—suitable for finished artwork handling
• Store capped, cool, and dry to extend shelf life
• 20 ml tube size convenient for travel and sketching kits

Who is this for: Artists, students, illustrators, designers, hobbyists, and model painters who want the aesthetic and mixing behavior of gouache with the resilience of acrylic will find Holbein Acryla Gouache Luminous Orange exceptionally useful. Choose this tube if you need reliable opacity, true-to-wet colour retention, and a matte finish that stands up to handling and mixed-media processes.
