The right paint makes all the difference! Although all three types of Crayola® paint products are water-based, they aren’t all created alike. Check below to see what type of paint will work best for your next masterpiece.
- Crayola Portfolio Series™ Acrylic Paint and Crayola Acrylic Paint is permanent and somewhat lightfast on many different surfaces. They are generally used by adults and older children because of their permanence.
