Recommended Materials (est. $40-80)Traditional Gouache: I use Winsor &amp; Newton Designer’s Gouache. It’s a high quality paint forprofessional artist use. Holbein is great, too. You can instead purchase the CMYK colors and beable to mix all the colors you need. <a href="https://www.dickblick.com/items/holbein-acryla-gouache-primary-set-set-of-5-colors-20-ml-tubes" title="https://www.dickblick.com/items/holbein-acryla-gouache-primary-set-set-of-5-colors-20-ml-tubes" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Holbein</a> CMYK option (Average cost is $32)ORThe <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winsor-Newton-Designers-Gouache-Colors/dp/B09795272Q" title="https://www.amazon.com/Winsor-Newton-Designers-Gouache-Colors/dp/B09795272Q" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Winsor &amp; Newton Gouache Set</a>.

(Average cost is $26) Surfaces: Cold press contains sizing that keeps colors bold and allows them to settle on thesurface of the board rather than sink into the paper. Hot press is smoother and better for finedetail.
