Alex C:
Only thing I don't like about gouache is how different things look from wet to dry, but that's probably something that could be readily conquered with more experience.

Spluff:
I hate gouache. It's impossible to do a realist painting with gouache, which is pretty much the type of painting I do - therefore it's not for me.

Lol, what?

Lines:
I have just never liked gouache nor really seen the use in learning to like it. I love watercolors and I like using oil and acrylic on occasion, but as I don't really paint very much, I won't waste money on paint I don't like. I'll stick to using watercolor if I ever feel the need to paint or draw with a wet medium. I don't enjoy painting very often, but even if I did, I'd still hate gouache.

Gouache is traditionally used to create flat areas of color quickly. It's a lot harder to do something photorealisticly than it would be with, say, oils.

Or at least thats my experience.
