Too many spam external links. Relevant links needed. -anon April 06

Change in intro

I changed the intro from technique to method. Simple terms better. Smilegood

Are these sites/sources/external links good?

I don't see that any should be added. Where disd this odd mixture come from? Johnbod (talk) 11:59, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Off the top of my head, I think it came from some old editor's sources which may or may not have been a COI, and some stuff I found on a Google search. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 01:27, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Update: These sources aren't needed. I think this discussion can close. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 03:33, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

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)
