How do you pronounce the word 'Gouache'? I've never actually heard anyone say it out loud, and I was surprised when someone said the word.

I don't recall hearing it pronounced correctly. Even though I might have heard it in art class. If I had it got by me.

I would have went with go ending with shh.

As I rather suspected, Brits say "goo-ash" and US types say "Gwaash"

When I searched for the definition of the word, there was a link to allow you to hear the word pronounced; I think it was by the Oxford Dictionary. To me, it sounded like "ɡwäSH"

gouache
/ɡwäSH,ɡo͞oˈäSH/

noun
a method of painting using opaque pigments ground in water and thickened with a gluelike substance.
