Liquitex Professional Acrylic Gouache combines the qualities of traditional gouache with the benefits of an acrylic. The archival-quality paint is perfect for mixed media works and alternate surfaces, as well as for color blocking, layering, illustration, and design.
The colors are highly opaque, lightfast, and vibrant — they contain the highest concentration of pigment Liquitex has used. They're also water-resistant when dry.
The colors dry quickly to a permanent, flat matte finish — no brush strokes, reflections, or cracks. Yet they have a creamy, fluid texture with no drag, so you don't have to add water for them to be workable, diluting color vibrancy in the process.
Liquitex worked with artists to create new, ergonomic paint bottles for this line. They're reusable, recyclable, easy to squeeze, and don't have corners, so paint won't get trapped and go to waste. Artists can also stack them on top of each other! The bottles have screw-off tops and extra-wide necks for easy access to the paint. They also have tapered nozzles with a variety of cut marks.
All colors are AP approved and safe for artists.

- Properties
- Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.

- Toxicity
- Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as non-toxic.
- History
- Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
