Draw French painter framing first of gouaches (6)
I believe the answer is:
magnet
'draw' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'french painter framing first of gouaches' is the wordplay.
'french painter' becomes 'manet' (I've seen this before).
'framing' indicates putting letters inside.
'first of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'gouaches' is 'g'.
'manet' enclosing 'g' is 'MAGNET'.
(Other definitions for magnet that I've seen before include "Centre of attraction" , "Attractive piece of metal" , "Something attractive" , "Device that attracts objects containing iron" , "drawer?" .)
