Liquitex Acrylic Gouache Paint Sky Blue 59 ml — High-Opacity, Quick-Drying Matte Finish

Liquitex Acrylic Gouache in Sky Blue is a creamy, flat-matte acrylic paint formulated for opaque, water-resistant colour that dries quickly and layers without cracking. Liquitex reinterprets traditional gouache by blending its flat, matte aesthetic with the permanence and handling advantages of acrylics. This 59 ml (2 oz) bottle of Sky Blue delivers vivid, intermixable pigment in a smooth, ready-to-use consistency so you can work straight from the bottle with no dilution required. It’s designed for artists, illustrators and designers who need intense, reliable colour for solid fills, layered work and mixed-media applications.

How does this paint behave on paper and board?

The acrylic base gives the gouache a quick-drying, water-resistant finish that stays put once dry, so subsequent layers won’t reactivate earlier passes. The formula is optimised for opacity, producing clean, solid coverage even over darker grounds.

• High-opacity pigments for strong coverage
• Dries to a permanent, water-resistant surface
• Flat, non-reflective finish ideal for scanning and reproduction
• Works well on illustration board, watercolour paper, and primed surfaces

Can I mix Sky Blue with other Liquitex Acrylic Gouache colours?

Yes—colours are formulated to be fully intermixable so you can blend hues without losing the matte gouache appearance. Mixing preserves opacity control, and subtle shifts remain consistent when layered or glazed.

• Compatible across the 50-colour Liquitex acrylic gouache range
• Maintains flat, matte look when mixed
• Predictable tinting strength for colour matching
• Use sparingly for tints; add more for denser coverage

What tools and techniques work best with this bottle format?

The 2 oz bottle is designed for studio and portable use: a pre-cut nozzle, screw-off top and wide neck let you control flow and access every drop. The creamy, fluid consistency brushes out smoothly with minimal drag, making it suitable for brushes, flat-edge tools and air-drawing techniques.

• Apply straight from the bottle for solid colour blocking
• Use synthetic brushes for crisp edges and smooth fills
• Palette knives and masking for sharp shapes and textures
• Ideal for scanning, then combining with digital workflows

How durable is the finish and how should I store the paint?

Once dry, the acrylic gouache is permanent and water-resistant, reducing the risk of bleeding under later layers. Store the bottle upright, capped tightly, and in a cool place to retain the paint’s creamy flow and prevent skinning.

• Permanent, water-resistant finish after drying
• Tighten cap after each use to preserve consistency
• Store upright and avoid freezing temperatures
• Shake or stir if pigment settles before use
