The other GOLDEN staple, GOLDEN Open slow-drying acrylics are slightly softer than Heavy Body acrylics with the added bonus of staying workable for a longer time than regular acrylics. The increased working time allows them to be used with more traditional techniques offered by oil paints, without the solvents and smells of real oil-based paints. The GOLDEN Open range is great for blending, softening, shading, glazing and creating fine details. They are also suitable for printmaking techniques like nonprinting. Due to the slow-drying nature, it is recommended to use them thinly, (approx. 1mm).
Whilst they can be used with other GOLDEN acrylics, it's better to not apply regular fast drying acrylics on top of the Open range as it will be damaging to the paint film. It's recommended to use GOLDEN Open acrylics as oil paints, wet on wet or wet on dry techniques.
Available in 80 regular and 6 iridescent colours in different quantities, 59ml (2oz) & 148ml (5oz) tubes and 237ml (8oz) Jars (with Titanium White also in 946ml (32oz) Jars) and various mixed sets.
They can be mixed and modified with specific GOLDEN Open Mediums, Pastes, Gels. GOLDEN offers their own acrylic gessoes and varnishes to be used with the paints.
