In this book, gouache, a classic technique often compared to watercolour, acquires a new dimension and offers a bolder approach to contemporary artists, illustrators and graphic designers. Gouache erases the boundaries between ‘proper painting’ and the spontaneous charm of watercolour, combining the advantages of both techniques. Diluted, gouache is almost like watercolour, but when used on its own, it can be applied in opaque layers with a matte surface reminiscent of pastels. Soluble in water, it is rather forgiving and allows for corrections and revisions, and finally, the fine grain of the pigment it contains makes detailed drawings possible.
Nelly Delay, art historian, graduate of the École du Louvre high school, was an art critic at Combat - founded in 1941 as a clandestine newspaper - and in various Swiss and Italian magazines before specializing, since 1963, in the study of ancient Japanese art. She organized Japanese art events in Paris from 1974 to 1984, for which she published texts on little-explored subjects and books on old Japanese drawings and paintings and the influence of Japanese culture on Western art. Since 1989, she has devoted herself to publications and conferences within the framework of different cultural organizations and the OECD. Two of her many titles are available in English, The Art and Culture of Japan, and Japan: The Fleeting Spirit.
