Can you paint with TRADITIONAL gouache on top of ACRYLIC gouache? ✶ swatches & demo

In 2020 I tried acrylic gouache and pretty much immediately abandoned it. Since then I've grown to absolutely love traditional artist's/designer's gouache because it allows me to blend almost like oils, but just using water. But I get a lot of questions about acrylic gouache, and people always ask "Can you paint with TRADITIONAL gouache on top of ACRYLIC gouache?" So let's explore that today! I'll do some swatches of my Holbein Acrylic Gouache (yes, same tubes from 2020!) then do a demo where I use an acrylic gouache underpainting (bottom layer) and see what happens when I paint with traditional gouache on top.

From what I can tell, Holbein uses different names for their gouache depending where it's sold and year of manufacturing. I bought mine in the UK in 2020 and it was called acrylic gouache, but elsewhere it's known as Acryla gouache.
