new1GOLDEN OPEN ACRYLICS are a true departure from all other acrylics on the market, dramatically expanding the range of techniques that are available to artists. They remain wet far longer than other acrylics and resist skinning on the palette during long painting sessions. OPEN Acrylics feature a unique and remarkably relaxed set of working properties that facilitate blending, softening, shading, glazing and fine detail. The unique properties allow them to be used with natural fiber brushes and for a range of techniques including portraiture, plein air painting, monoprinting, and screenprinting.

golden_open_acrylicsGOLDEN OPEN Acrylics are a new line of
professional artists acrylics that feature uniquely relaxed working characteristics and a versatility that allows artists to explore techniques where acrylics are normally challenging to use.

OPEN Acrylics:

  • Remain wet far longer on palette during painting sessions
  • Excellent blending characteristics
  • Can be used with natural fiber brushes
  • Less wasted paint due to drying and palette loss

Available in 40 traditional colors

  1. Feels Like No Other Paint!
    OPEN Acrylics feature a unique balance of properties and relaxed working characteristics that make them an ideal choice when blending, softening, shading, glazing, and creating fine detail.

  2. Stays Wet Longer!
    OPEN Acrylics resist skinning and remain wet on the palette for extended periods. Color mixes remain useable longer. OPEN Acrylicscan be reconstituted for a period of time once “set” using water, fresh paint, or OPEN Mediums and Thinner, and can be easily washed from brushes.

  3. Expands The Boundaries of Acrylics!
    OPEN Acrylics are ideal for a wide range of traditional techniques and are recommended for artists whose painting styles benefit from extended working time and blendability, such as portraiture, landscape, and plein air painting. OPEN Acrylics can also be used for other techniques such as monoprinting and screenprinting.

  4. Adjusting Made Simple!
    Use OPEN Mediums and Thinnerto control viscosity while maintaining the maximum working time. To accelerate drying time, OPEN Acrylics may be blended with GOLDEN Acrylics, Gels and Mediums. Because of the slow drying nature of these paints, it is recommended that work be left to dry for 30 days or longer before varnishing.
