More Tips & Tricks

Guidance on how to use and care for your new Crayola All Grown Up Alcohol and Acrylic Markers.

  • Acrylic markers are designed to work on a wide variety of surfaces, making them a versatile choice for many creative projects. They can be used on materials such as wood, glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, paper, canvas, and more.

    These markers deliver bold, opaque color on both light and dark surfaces and can be layered to build depth and coverage.

    For best results:

    • Clean or prep your surface before starting for smoother application
    • Allow paint to dry between layers for best coverage
    • Seal artwork on smooth, non-porous surfaces for added permanency

  • Yes! Blending is one of the biggest advantages of alcohol-based markers. There are several ways:

    Choose two or three markers within the same color family that share similar intensity and tonal value. Start with the darker color, then laydown the lighter color next to it. Use the lighter color’s brush end to blend and soften where the two colors meet. 

    Alternatively, use a colorless blender marker: Helps soften edges and create smooth transitions. Use where two colors meet to blend together (included in the Crayola 40ct, 60ct, and 120ct sets). It can also be used to lighten darker areas or add highlights, operating similarly to how an eraser works. 

    Layer similar shades: Start with light tones and gradually add darker ones. Allow ink to dry before adding the next layer. 

    Work while wet: Blending is easiest when ink is fresh on the page.

  • Absolutely! We've put together these quick tips to help get you started with Crayola Alcohol-Based Markers:

    • Test colors on scrap paper or on the included swatch card(s) before applying to your artwork.

    • For the best blending experience, choose two or three markers within the same color family that share similar intensity and tonal value. Start with the darker color, then laydown the lighter color next to it. Use the lighter color’s brush end to blend and soften where the two colors meet. 

    • Practice layering and blending techniques on simple shapes before tackling detailed art. 

    • Uncoated paper works best.

  • Crayola Alcohol-based Markers use an alcohol-based ink instead of water-based ink. This gives them:

    Smooth blending: Colors mix seamlessly for gradients and shading.

    Vibrant, consistent color: Less streaking

    Quick drying: Reduces smudging and allows layering with minimal impact to paper

  • • Cap tightly to prevent drying

    • Avoid extreme temperatures

    • Do not store artwork or markers in direct sunlight

    Make sure to check out Crayola’s 20ct, 40ct, 60ct, 80ct and 120ct sets—each include a transformable case that sets up on your desk to display and store your markers at the best angle.

  • Alcohol-based markers naturally bleed because of their ink composition. To minimize this:

    Choose the right paper: Look for “marker paper” or “bleed-proof” options.

    Use a protective blotter sheet: Place thick scrap paper under your artwork to protect surfaces and other coloring pages behind it. 

    Apply light layers: Avoid oversaturating the paper with heavy ink.
