Discover Dacryl, a Canadian-made collection of acrylic painting essentials – made for local creatives. Dacryl Acrylic Gouache is an opaque acrylic paint with a matte, velvety finish. Quick-drying and water-mixable, acrylic gouache boasts the characteristics of both gouache and acrylic. Like acrylic, it is water-resistant once dry, so you can paint multiple layers with no smearing or streaking. It also adheres well to many surfaces. It features a similar feel and coverage as gouache, but differs in that it is waterproof, while traditional gouache is not.
