Thick, fluid acrylics that maintain color strength through extreme dilution, eight parts water to one part paint, without washing out to pale tints. This versatility makes Portfolio Series paint equally capable for dense impasto work straight from the bottle or transparent watercolor-style washes. Rich pigment loading delivers saturated color across techniques, from traditional canvas work to airbrushing, printmaking, and fabric marbling.

The viscosity strikes a practical middle ground: substantial enough to hold brushstrokes and texture, fluid enough to flow through airbrushes or spread evenly for printmaking without additional mediums or thinners. Paint adheres permanently to multiple surfaces, paper, wood, fabric, clay, and dries to a flexible, water-resistant finish that won't crack or peel. This makes it reliable for mixed-media work and projects that involve handling or wear.

Sixteen-ounce recyclable bottles with flip-top lids provide generous quantity for students working through technique development and larger projects. Soap and water cleanup eliminates solvent costs and ventilation concerns. Crayola formulates these acrylics without chemical additives, delivering straightforward performance for artists building foundational skills across acrylic applications.
