This 16-ounce bottle of black tempera paint from Crayola delivers a rich, opaque color that works well on paper, cardboard, wood, and ceramic. Designed for children's art projects, it uses a non-toxic formula and flows smoothly from an easy-squeeze bottle with a flip-top lid. The paint is freeze-thaw stable and resists chipping, flaking, and bleeding once dry.

What size and color is this paint?

It comes in a 16-fluid-ounce squeeze bottle filled with black tempera paint. The color is a deep, vibrant black that mixes well with other tempera colors for custom shades.

Which surfaces does it work on?

It provides opaque coverage on multiple surfaces including paper, cardboard, wood, ceramic, and newspaper. It also works well for papier-mâché projects. The manufacturer notes that one coat is often enough for good opacity.

Is it safe for kids?

Yes, the paint uses a non-toxic formula suitable for both children and adults. It is water-soluble and can be cleaned with soap and water.

What about durability and storage?

Once dry, the paint does not chip, flake, or powder. It is also resistant to rub-off and bleeding through the surface. The bottle's air-tight flip-top lid helps keep the paint fresh, and the formula is freeze-thaw stable.

Does this paint need more than one coat?

The manufacturer states it offers one-coat coverage for many surfaces, but heavier or porous surfaces may require a second coat.

Can I mix this black with other colors?

Yes, it is designed for secondary color mixing. You can blend it with other tempera paints to create custom hues.

What is the best way to clean brushes?

Since the paint is water soluble, warm soapy water works well for cleaning brushes and spills while the paint is still wet.
