Golden Open Acrylic

Golden OPEN Acrylics are a truely unique acrylic paint that dry slowly with a slightly softer consistency than Golden Heavy Body paints. The increased working time of these colours expands their range to include more traditional techniques once only possible with oils. Thick applications can dry extremely slowly, so we recommend artists only use OPEN Colours thinly (1 mm). Drying time can also be accelerated by mixing golden open acrylic with faster-drying acrylics like Fluid and Heavy Body colours. The slow-drying capability of OPEN Acrylics also makes the suitable for some printmaking techniques.Painters who cover their palettes or use sealed containers have been able to use the same colours for weeks, reducing the amount of paint wasted and preserving colour mixtures for future use.

Golden OPEN Acrylics offer artists an exceptional acrylic painting experience with their prolonged drying time and softer texture, ideal for traditional oil techniques and some printmaking methods. These versatile acrylic paints allow for intricate details and blending that are often challenging with faster-drying mediums, enhancing artistic expression. By using thin applications, around 1 mm, artists can efficiently manage drying times while still enjoying extended workability. Furthermore, combining Golden OPEN Acrylics with other quicker-drying types, such as Fluid or Heavy Body, can help customise the pace at which their artwork set. Painters can also minimise paint waste by storing their palettes in sealed containers, preserving their unique colour mixes for weeks.
