I love the hues and textures! Hippo seems to be in serious thoughts ...

I don't want to sound ignorant, but what exactly is gouache?

thats not ignorant at all
heres how to describe gouache the best-
its a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water.
Like all watermedia, it is diluted with water.This makes gouache heavier and more opaque(than watercolour), with greater reflective qualities.Gouache generally dries to a different value than it appears when wet (lighter tones generally dry darker, while darker tones tend to dry lighter), which can make it difficult to match colors over multiple painting sessions. This, combined with its quick coverage and total hiding power, mean that gouache lends itself to more immediate techniques than watercolor.
