Talens Gouache, 20 ml Tube, Light Gold 802

Talens Gouache Extra Fine — Light Gold 802 (20 ml) is a warm, metallic gold opaque watercolour (gouache) from Royal Talens, made in the Netherlands. Its high pigment load gives a soft metallic sheen, while the traditional dextrin binder makes it thixotropic — thick in the tube, then smooth and even as you work it.

How to use: thin with water for flat washes and soft transitions, or use it straight from the tube for bold, streak-free coverage. It isn't waterproof once dry, so you can reactivate and rework it with water for clean corrections. Works with a brush, airbrush, or even a ruling pen for crisp lines.

Where it's used: illustration, poster and design work, studies and student portfolios — on paper, board, and mixed media.
