Gouache

About Gouache

Gouache is a portfolio template for illustrators. The home page opens on a studio wall: prints taped up like a real pinboard, which visitors can drag around with the mouse. Below it sit your commissions, a small print shop and a commission form that asks for budget and deadline up front.

Good for

  • Illustrators working on books, editorial, posters, packaging and murals

  • Artists who sell prints or originals next to client work

  • Painters, printmakers and letterers who want the work to look handmade, not boxed in a grid

Pages

  • Home: studio wall, recent commissions, clients, prints, how a commission works, a quote and a call to action

  • Work: every project from the Work CMS, with category and colour tags

  • Project: brief, process, gallery and a client quote for each piece (8 examples included)

  • Prints: a shop from the Prints CMS with price, size, paper, edition and a buy link per print (6 examples)

  • About: a polaroid portrait, bio, tools and exhibitions

  • Commissions: a working Framer form with project type, budget, deadline and brief

  • 404

Features

  • Pinboard component: up to 14 prints with image, title, caption and link; drag them with a mouse or pen, move them with the arrow keys, click to open. On phones a tap opens the print and the page still scrolls.

  • Tape, pin or nothing; wall colour, dots or grid pattern, tilt and a Shuffle number for a new arrangement

  • Local time and availability line that you set once

  • Desktop, tablet and phone layouts, with a phone menu

  • Gambarino, General Sans and Caveat, with colour and text styles you can change in one place

  • Soft scroll-in animations and hover tilts

Good to know

  • The print shop links each print to a checkout you already have (Gumroad, Shopify, Lemon Squeezy, Etsy…). Framer itself doesn't take payments.

  • The form sends submissions to your Framer project, or to email and other tools through Framer's form settings.
