Brushes

As far as brushes are concerned any brush that is suitable for watercolor can be
used with Gouache. Depending on the technique used and the finish required.
Sable brushes including synthetic sable are ideal. They are excellent in holding
a large amount of paint. They have ability to point and to spring back into
shape. This allows the artist to work fast and with more accuracy.
Bristle
brushes such as hogs can also be used if a more expressive brush stroke is
desired.
Gouache: To varnish or not

As a personal
choice, I spray my finished art with Krylon workable fixative. I apply several
coats of spray varnish. I feel it brings out the original brilliance as it look
when the paint is wet and gives it an even finish. I also use the workable
fixative while painting if I need to isolate an area so I can paint over it
without re-activating the previous coat of paint.
