== Opening section is muddled == == French pronunciation of "aquarelle" ==


The page lists the french pronunciation of "aquarelle" as /akarel/. That's not the right pronunciation, or at least I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that. The pronunciation I'd use, and the one wiktionary lists, is /akwarel/: https://fr.wiktionary.org/aquarelle <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
As a (very) experienced artist and one-time owner of an art supply store, I find the opening section of the article muddled (pun intended). It seems to present "aquarelle" as a synonym for "watercolor painting", with (in a subsequent paragraph) the addition of Chinese White, to achieve more opacity, as a subset of watercolor/aquarelle.


== Melayu ==
Actually, "aquarelle" specifically denotes transparent or translucent watercolor. The opaque variety, which may be achieved by adding Chinese White or by other methods, is called (in its professional version) "gouache"; in its amateur/cheap version, "poster paint"; and when used incorrectly as a pretentious synonym for poster paint, "tempera". (Actually tempera is something else entirely.)

In other words, aquarelle and gouache are sub-categories of watercolor paint, both in terms of materials and techniques. None of this is made clear in the article as I see it now. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 19:43, 27 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

French pronunciation of "aquarelle"

The page lists the french pronunciation of "aquarelle" as /akarel/. That's not the right pronunciation, or at least I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that.
