Watermedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In art, watermedia is the general term for media that are used by diluting them with water, as opposed to oil or other media. Watermedia include watercolours and gouache, amongst others.

There are some unusual examples of watermedia being diluted with Coca-Cola[1] or tequila[2] instead of water, and painter Johnny O. Brady has "added tea to [his] brush water".[3]

There are a number of Watermedia societies.

Watermedia are obviously to be distinguished from the company offering customized labels on bottled water.[4]
