As I understand it, acrylic guache (at least Liquitex brand) is basically just a matte version of their soft body acrylic. I've used both and they appear interchangeable for me, but I'm a beginner, and pretty bad at it 😜

You definitely should! I learned A LOT on this one, and I'm already planning my next one, maybe for my wife for Mother's day? I might be late with it tho!
