The French School formulation handles both without requiring you to maintain separate paint systems. Pigments suspend evenly in the binder, creating smooth, matte coverage when applied straight from the tube and controlled transparency when diluted. This flexibility makes them particularly effective for color theory demonstrations where students need to see both mixing principles and layering effects in a single medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-porous surfaces accept these paints as readily as traditional watercolor paper. Work directly on hardboard for studies, plastic for experimental surfaces, or metal for mixed media assemblages. The water-based formula stays workable during application and cleans up completely, essential for classroom environments and shared studio spaces. Washable pigments mean spills and tool cleanup happen with water alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10-color set provides primary triads plus essential neutrals for fundamental color mixing exercises. The 20-color set expands into earth tones and extended hues, burnt umber for shadows, emerald green for landscape work, rose magenta for expanded mixing options. Both sets include brushes and storage cases. Note that certain pigments exhibit less opacity by nature; this is standard across gouache formulations where transparent earth tones and some blues require additional layers for full coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savoir-Faire","offers":[{"title":"set of 10 in case with brush","offer_id":47981414187237,"sku":"36170","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s36170.jpg?v=1770316132","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/savoir-faire-the-french-school-opaque-watercolor-gouache-tube-sets","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
