Untitled
Any particular reason why the link to handprint.com was removed? It's a non-commercial comprehensive description of watercolour materials and techniques. I've added it again: if there's a good reason to remove it please do. Anon2
Too many spam external links. Relevant links needed. -anon April 06

Opening section is muddled
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.
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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.100.8 (talk) 19:43, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
