Quick Cleanup

Many painting products offered at Staples are designed specifically for easy, fast cleanup. For example, use washable watercolor pencils to encourage creativity and reduce the likelihood of spills.

What Are the Different Kinds of Painting Supplies?

There are varieties of painting supplies for a child to pick up and create art with.

Dry Art Supplies

As the name suggests, dry art supplies don’t include any wet ingredients that require drying time upon use. Dry artworks are finished once the artist puts down their brush and require very little cleanup. Consider adding a 20-color set of pastels to your dry art supplies.

Wet Art Supplies

These painting art supplies include washable tempera or watercolor paints. These products are an excellent option for classrooms, art studio or home use but they will take a while to dry upon completion.

Oil-Based Paint Markers

These utensils contain a permanent ink formula that is designed to last. The pens work well on wood, glass, metal, stone, fabric, plastic and other hard surfaces. The ink is fade-resistant, waterproof and resistant to abrasion. Oil-based paint markers use opaque ink that's ideal for scrapbooks, window art and posters.
