Is Gouache in a Sketchbook a Good Idea?

Yup, thass it. The box even says so. I like it. Made by the Chinese (of course) & imported by Holbien. Didn’t care for the W/N version’s consistency.

So much good info, here! I am hoping to be able to use the gouache on my fave kind of palette – a little dipe wipe box. I sqeeze paint on one side and throw the tubes in the other side. This works best if the paints can be re-wet and then the paint blobs can just live there and evolve.:) Thanks again for all of your answers.

Buy a nurse a 6-pac of beer in return for some injectors – without needles. Great for dispensing minute amounts of water to keep the paints wet.
I just found 3 pieces of old WC paper, 22×30 with deckled edges, that I squirreled away a decade or so ago. Now I’m working at generating enuff guts to try guache as a WC rather than my semi-oils methods. Been 20 years or more since I applied washes!
