Thank you!!!   I used gouache for this piece, but it is part of the watercolor group!

Oh! I paint with watercolours sometimes, but I never used gouache! Is there a difference?

Yes there is! While watercolors are transparent, gouache is an opaque form of watercolor. Gouache gives a solid finish and when thinned out it still holds a different look that separates it from watercolor. With this piece I used water to thin out the paint.
