Liquitex "Acrylic Gouache"

John A. Craig posted this on the Groups.io Weathering Techniques group.

“There is a very interesting "new" line of "Artists" paints offered by Liquitex.  The line is "Acrylic Gouache", available in 2 oz. bottles with a "dropper top".  I purchased almost a "full set" for painting/illustration purposes, but of late, have used them in weathering applications, as well, and found them very useful (particularly in "dry-brush" techniques).  The paints are very opaque and dry "dead flat".  A collection of "earth colors" (Raw Sienna/Burnt/Sienna/Raw Umber/Burnt Umber/Yellow Ochre ) plus White and Black should provide a good "basic" weathering set.  The paints can be mixed with "regular" Acrylics.  I have a number of "test strips" on styrene and other surfaces which I have used to test adhesion and durability, and the paints survive the "scratch test" very well.  One caveat is to avoid other brands of so-called "acrylic-gouaches", as I have tried a number of them over the years and found none to be satisfactory until the advent of the Liquitex version.”

Has anyone else tried these? Thanks.
