Watermedia
In art, watermedia is the general term for media that are distinguished from oil or other media by being diluted with water when used.[1] Watermedia include watercolours, gouache and acrylic, amongst others. It is sometimes combined with other media, commonly collage.[2]
There are some unusual examples of watermedia being diluted with Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, tequila[3] and sweat instead of water, and painter Johnny O'Brady has "added tea to [his] brush water".[4]
There are a number of Watermedia societies.
Watermedia are obviously to be distinguished from the company offering customized labels on bottled water.[5]
