Acrylic paint can wash off non-porous surfaces with water if it's still wet. Once it dries, however, it becomes water-resistant but not entirely waterproof. On fabric, it might not wash out easily, especially after it has dried or been heat set. Using a sealer can protect acrylic paint on various surfaces, making it more durable and wash-resistant.
