Increase your working time with these slow-drying acrylics, designed specially for working outdoors.
GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics have a unique and relaxed set of working characteristics, expanding the range and techniques possible for acrylic artists. OPEN Acrylics remain wet for much longer than regular acrylics, expanding the time artists have for blending, softening, shading, glazing, and applying fine detail.
The drying time varies on how thickly the paint is applied: thick applications can dry extremely slowly, allowing you to work on your piece for hours. Drying time can be accelerated by mixing OPEN with standard acrylics, or acrylic mediums. Painters can cover their palettes or use sealed containers to use their OPEN Acrylics for more than a single painting session, reducing the amount of paint wasted, and preserving unique colour mixtures.
Use these paints with both synthetic and natural fibres, and expand your range of working options and finishes with OPEN Mediums. Ideal for use with plein air painting, portraiture, monoprinting, and screenprinting.
They worked great. The entire workshop group approved.

Golden Open
I love the Golden Open acrylics because they feel like oil paints and take longer to dry than regular acrylics.

GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics
I really like Golden Open. I have been using the Open line for about 14 years. My go to acrylic paint. I prefer the slow drying time, being able to mix my colours on the canvas as well as on the palette. The only downside is that Opus only carries half the Open colour range, but they will special order.
