Can I use acrylic and gouache together?

Why does gouache break?
Cracking can usually be attributed to one of two reasons when using gouache. Firstly if not enough water is used to dilute the colour, the thicker film may crack as the paint dries on the paper. Secondly, if painting in layers, the subsequent ones may show cracking if the underlayer absorbs binder from the wet colour.
