Pébéo Studio Gouache Paint Set – 5 x 100ml Tube
Pébéo Studio Gouache Paint Set – 5 x 100ml Essential & Primary Colours
Discover the versatility of gouache painting with the Pébéo Studio Gouache 5-Colour Set, featuring five generous 100ml tubes of essential and primary colours. Designed for artists, illustrators, graphic designers, and students, this high-quality water-based gouache offers rich pigmentation, vibrant colour, and excellent opacity for a wide range of creative applications.
Often referred to as opaque watercolour, gouache combines the fluidity of water-based paint with the ability to create bold, solid blocks of colour. Its smooth application and extra-matte finish make it ideal for illustration, graphic design, fine art, poster work, and contemporary painting.
Vibrant, Opaque Colour with an Extra-Matte Finish
Pébéo Studio Gouache delivers vivid, highly pigmented colours that remain bright and vibrant after drying. The paint dries to an even, extra-matte finish, making it particularly suitable for artists who want clean, professional-looking results without unwanted shine.
Its water-based formula allows you to adjust the consistency with water, creating effects that range from fluid washes to rich, opaque layers. Once dry, the paint can be reworked with water or additional wet colour, offering flexibility throughout the creative process.
Suitable for Artists, Illustrators & Students
Whether you're learning gouache for the first time or developing your professional art practice, this versatile paint set provides an excellent foundation for exploring colour mixing, tonal studies, illustration, and expressive painting techniques.
Studio Gouache can be applied to paper, card, Bristol board, and canvases appropriately primed for water-based painting, making it a useful addition to any art studio, classroom, or home workspace.

Drying Time, Lightfastness & Care
Studio Gouache generally dries within several hours, depending on dilution, application thickness, and paper weight. Dried paint can be reactivated with water, allowing artists to rework areas or introduce additional colour.
Lightfastness varies by colour, ranging from good to very good, with some exceptions, including Bright Orange, Carmine, and Primary Magenta. For artwork intended for long-term display, consider the lightfastness of the individual colours used.
Because gouache can be reactivated with water, handle finished paintings carefully. If applying a protective varnish, test the product on a sample first and follow the manufacturer's recommendations to help prevent disturbing the paint layer.
