Gouache Paint

What types of materials I need to produce a quality project work on various media. I'm combining painting and photography. I was thinking of painting the appearance of gouache paint, is he good enough to be used "professionally?" If not, what are the other paintings that are versatile and professional quality? Also, should I use a cloth or something else?

Any help would be great! Thank you!

Gouache paint is very good and if you go for a look flat. It may be quite flattering if you are the photo collage. Gouache is commonly used by the comic because of the flatness. Every painting is really a job, it depends on what you are going for. Oil would be good if you want a lot of shading and contrast, and if you have time to dry. Acrylic is an inexpensive way to go and give a good variation of color. If you want to look washed out, then use the colors of the water. There is no end to your possibilities. Any painting may appear professional if the work is good. You do not have to use the web, go to your hardware store and get a piece of plywood cut. I use plywood cons because I build a frame on the back of the room using 2x2 "s and it is easy to hang, and it continues to deform. (Also cheap!) Anyway Good luck, hope this helps!

Gouache paint is excellent .... supplies are not professional work is ...
you may have difficulty in applying the gouache for photos serious photos (do not stick with a throw of treatment in the medium term) and the computer prints will not deal with water .....
when making decisions on the materials you need to think about the sensation of work you do, canvas or wood are very different visual messages they send ... everything is art professional as it is well executed.

Oops I use (returns) of paint from Home Depot, it is acrylic latex and I get it for a couple of dollars a box. I painted with tar and gold leaf.

Marshalls example of a seller.

Gouache is an opaque watercolor.
It is a good way. Brands like
Newton-Windsor to a quality product.
If you have concerns about loss of color etc.
spend more money on good materials.
The reds are especially prone to fading.
A quality 100% rag paper can make a difference
in the finished product as well.
art supplies can be as expensive or as cheap as you want.
It depends on what kind of art you do.
