The gouache paints from the MASTER-CLASS series of the Artistic Paint Factory "Nevskaya Palitra" meet the high quality requirements of materials set by experienced artists and decorators. However, they can also be used by beginner artists as well as high school students. MASTER-CLASS gouache is produced according to a traditional recipe that uses glue (binding substances with the addition of gum arabic), white lead, and finely ground pigments. Thanks to the white lead, gouache acquires a matte finish, applies evenly to the surface, and has no transparency. Resistant and bright pigments provide beautiful, rich shades. After drying, the colors of the gouache paints lose their saturation and become lighter, which should be taken into account when diluting gouache and mixing it. Gouache paints can be used on almost all materials with a smooth surface, but they adhere best to paper, cardboard, and primed canvases. In the work, brushes made of squirrel hair, synthetic materials, and bristle can be used. Thanks to the carefully selected components, MASTER-CLASS gouache paints are ideal for painting, decorative works, and graphics.
The set is released with a palette of 16 colors in transparent jars of 20 ml, placed in a cardboard box. The color palette of paints included in the MASTER-CLASS sets is based on methodological developments adopted in art education.
