What’s included in your creative toolkit
Premium Materials & Construction Standards
Every AC Moore arts and crafts supply meets rigorous quality standards developed through decades of serving creative communities. Our acrylic paints use only lightfast pigments rated for archival permanence, ensuring your artwork maintains its vibrancy for generations.
The brushes in our professional collection combine carefully selected natural hair with advanced synthetic fibers that hold their shape through thousands of strokes. We source cotton duck canvas from suppliers who maintain consistent weave density and prepare it with triple-layer acid-free gesso that creates the ideal surface tooth.
Compatible Techniques & Applications
AC Moore arts and crafts supplies work seamlessly across traditional and contemporary creative methods. The acrylic paint formulation supports techniques from impasto and glazing to pouring and airbrushing, with viscosity that adapts to your preferred application style.
Painting Versatility
Our brush collection handles watercolor washes, oil painting details, and mixed media layering with equal proficiency. The synthetic-natural fiber blend maintains point integrity in fine detail work while providing the spring and snap necessary for confident brushstrokes.
Care & Maintenance Guidelines
Proper care extends the life of your AC Moore arts and crafts supplies significantly. Clean acrylic paint from brushes immediately after use with warm water and mild soap, reshaping bristles before air drying horizontally to prevent ferrule water damage.
Store paint tubes upright with caps tightly sealed to prevent air exposure and skin formation. Our airtight tube design maintains paint consistency for up to three years when stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight.

Questions About AC Moore Arts & Crafts Supplies
Yes, our acrylic paints work excellently on outdoor surfaces including wood, terra cotta, stone, and metal. For maximum weather resistance, we recommend sealing finished projects with an outdoor-rated clear acrylic sealer.
The lightfast pigments resist UV fading, and the acrylic polymer base provides natural water resistance once fully cured. Allow 72 hours of drying time before exposing painted items to moisture or direct weather.
Absolutely—our Professional Artist Brush Collection handles oil paints, mineral spirits, and turpentine without deteriorating. The synthetic-natural fiber blend and seamless nickel ferrules resist solvent damage that compromises lesser brushes.
For oil painting, we recommend dedicating specific brushes to oils rather than alternating between water-based and oil-based mediums. Clean thoroughly with appropriate solvents, reshape bristles, and store horizontally to maintain optimal performance.
The multi-pack includes three standard canvas proportions suited to different composition styles. The 8×10 inch size works beautifully for portraits, still life studies, and small decorative pieces.
The 11×14 inch format accommodates medium landscape paintings and allows comfortable working space for detailed subjects. Our 16×20 inch canvases provide substantial presence for statement pieces, large florals, and compositions requiring expansive visual impact. All three sizes feature identical triple-primed cotton duck construction and stretcher bar quality.
Yes, the AC Moore Crafting Paper & Cardstock Variety Pack includes sheets specifically formulated for both inkjet and laser printing. The surface coating accepts ink without bleeding or smearing while preventing toner flaking.
For best results with heavier cardstock weights, check your printer’s specifications for maximum paper thickness capacity. Most home printers handle up to 80 lb cardstock smoothly, while the 110 lb cover weight works better for commercial printers or manual stamping and embellishing applications.
Store AC Moore acrylic paint tubes upright with caps secured tightly after each use to minimize air exposure. Wipe any paint residue from the tube opening and threads before closing to ensure an airtight seal.
Keep paints at room temperature between 60-75°F away from heating vents and direct sunlight. Extreme temperature fluctuations can affect paint consistency. Our tubes maintain optimal viscosity for up to three years when stored properly, with many artists reporting even longer usable life.
Yes, the AC Moore Complete DIY Craft Organizer features secure latches and leak-resistant construction suitable for bottled paints, glues, and liquid mediums. Store bottles upright within compartments to prevent accidental opening.
The dividers create custom sizing that holds bottles securely during transport. However, we recommend double-checking that all bottle caps are tightened before moving the organizer. The clear polypropylene material wipes clean easily if any accidental spills occur.
Our supplies carry AP (Approved Product) non-toxic certification from the Art & Creative Materials Institute, making them safe for children and adults. The acrylic paints, papers, and canvas work well for ages 5 and up with appropriate supervision.
Younger children may need assistance opening paint tubes and cleaning brushes properly. The organizing system helps teach supply management skills to school-age crafters. Many families find AC Moore arts and crafts products perfect for multi-generational creative projects that bring everyone together.
