Which type of art & hobby paint should I choose for my project (canvas, wood, fabric, etc.)?
Selecting the right paint depends on your surface and vision. Acrylic paint is a top pick for canvas, wood, and mixed-media projects thanks to its vibrant color and fast drying time. Watercolor works best on paper or cards for delicate, blendable effects. For bold, traditional artwork on canvas, oil paint offers slow-drying richness. Gouache excels at designers’ mockups with its opaque, matte finish, while fabric paint is a must for textiles, offering flexibility and machine-wash durability. Need to cover large areas or work outdoors? Spray paint is great for even, weather-resistant coverage. Enamel and lacquer suit glossy, durable finishes on models, metal, or ceramics.
