Tempera (Poster) Paint Conversion to Goauche

Tempera (poster) paint global sales are significant.
Tempera pigments particle size is larger  than that in commercial gouache. It can, therefore, be sold in bottles.

I take commercial tempera samples, dilute with water, and grind with high fructose corn syrup (binder) and kaolin clay.

I pour the diluted pant samples in plastic bins and use a food dehydrator to concentrate to a gouache.

This approaches a commercial -level  gouache for artistic use at fraction of the cost. Tryit!






Primary color samples ready for concentration to cakes.
