Gouache

Watercolor made opaque by the addition of white pigments and sometimes with a glue BINDER. It is also known as BODY COLOR. Unlike transparent watercolor, gouache does not allow whiteness of the paper to show through the paint. It should also be noted that it lightens considerably in drying.
