Crayola® Mixing Mediums

Crayola Mixing Mediums add exciting special effects to most water-based paints, including washable, tempera and poster paints - even watercolors! The mediums themselves are washable, and maintain the easy cleanup of Crayola Washable Paints. Multipy the possibilities by combining paints with:

  • Glitter It! for dazzling sparkle
  • Pearl It! for shimmering pearlescence
  • Texture It! for rough, sandy texture.
Mix Directly with Paints
  • Add any Mixing Medium to paint and swirl once.
  • Mix lightly - too much stirring can dull the effect.
  • Tint mediums with a small amount of paint to make a glaze.
Layer for Varied Effects
  • Use unmixed - mediums alone are subtle on light backgrounds, bold on dark.
  • Try mediums as an undercoat, with a wash of paint on top.
  • Spread mediums over dry paint or mix into newly applied wet paint.
Try a Variety of Surfaces
  • Mixing Mediums work on any surface suitable for water-based paints.
  • Use on finished/dry objects made from Crayola Model Magic® or Air-Dry Clay.
Experiment With the Possibilities
  • For extra depth & texture, brush on several coats, each in a different direction.
  • Spread Texture It! with a craft stick, and scratch into the surface.
