That would be Tempera, but a lot of the paint chemistry has changed in the last few years. There is what is called washable paint (

The Stanford Band has used a variety of temperas, they wanted to be able to change the bell paintings each year. I wanted my bell art for my own horn to be more permanent so I sprayed it with a clear coat. That lasted for 15 years and I painted over everything with acrylics - that is still going strong.
