Tempera is of course egg-based, and gouache is clay, so Im not sure I
see the conjunction with the term "watercolor." Both are mixed with
water, but then so are acrylics, and I've never seen acrylic represented
as watercolor, which it might be under this sort of criteria. It seems
to me each should simply be represented as temepera, gouache or acrylic,
at the least youll expand some visitors vocabularies.
