What name is given to the painting technique in which opaque, water-based colours are thickened with gum, or glue and honey before application to the surface? (7 letters)

Is it gouache?

Gouache (from the Italian guazzo, "water paint, splash") or bodycolor (the term preferred by art historians) is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water. Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities.

Gouache (pronounced gwash) is an opaque watercolor. The pigments usually contain some honey, besides gum arabic; the paint is applied without much water, and you have to mix a color with white if you want to make it lighter. White is used in gouache as in oils. Miniaturists often work with gouache.
