No! Don't do that! Acrylic and Tempera paint don't mix whatsoever. Although both paints are water based, tempera contains chalk, casein (a milk product), and often times egg making the product more loose and easier to use. Acrylic on the other hand is a thicker more stable paint that contains a plastic blinding ingredient that makes it oilier and more permanent! Don't mix the two, it will turn out bad I assure you.

As we speak, I'm mixing the two to achieve a product that will form a base coat (white) for painting holiday windows. I'm having problems with multiple layers flaking.... necessity forces invention. Lol

Yes, it has to be water based. Ground stone, and plants were rich saucers for artist's to use. Oil will not mix unless a catalyst is used to break down the elements causing them to mix.

A water based paint whose color is mixed with egg yolk?

Egg tempera is a terrific medium with many advantages. It is safe, non-toxic, and permanent. Unlike oil paint, it will not yellow, change in color, or grow transparent over time. Unlike acrylic, it has a proven track record going back hundreds of years. Egg tempera shows the beauty of pigments off to great advantage. Colors are clear, bright, and pure.

What happens to oil when you mix it with an egg yolk?

Egg yolk by itself dries up and cracks, but in the middle ages it was very popular to create a yellow color for a paint. To create this paint (called Tempera) the egg yolk would be added to oil on a 1:1 basis. The two substances become a solution, and the oil keeps the egg yolk in a consistency we think of with paint (thick and viscuous). Some sort of acidic substance is also added usually, like vinegar or white wine. When the tempera is used for painting, it dries quickly, and the oil causes the pigment in the egg to bond with the surface that is painted. See the related link for examples of Tempera art.

What is water-based paint whose color is mixed with egg yolk?

I believe you are referring to egg oil emulsion, which is a wonderful medium to paint in because the colours are generally translucent and the result is quite dynamic. Egg oil emulsion is however made with tempera paints ( a dry ground pigment) not with water paint. For additional information on, and how to mix egg oil emulsion, please see the related link below.
