Artist quality, slow-drying acrylic paints
Can be easily blended and will not dry as quickly on your palette
Full range of 78 colours available in 59ml tubes
Titanium white also available in larger sizes
Golden Open Acrylics are filled with artist quality, slow-drying acrylic paints. Their unique slow-drying formula gives you more time to work with your paint and they have a slightly softer consistency than our heavy body paints.
These slow drying acrylics will open up a whole world of new painting techniques previously limited to oils. Their longer open time means that they can be easily blended and will not dry as quickly on your palette - they can even be used for some printmaking techniques! Artists who cover or seal their palettes have found that they are able to use the same colours for weeks - this helps to minimise waste and preserve your colour mixes! They have a slightly softer consistency than Golden's Heavy Body Acrylic colours.
Full range of 78 colours available in 60ml tubes. Titanium white also available in larger sizes.

Golden believe that artists have the right to know what chemicals they are working with, and so have developed their own Health & Safety labelling system. You should follow basic precautions when using any Golden Products. Each label gives pigment identification information as well as general guidelines for safe use, and on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) which list hazards of product components without incorporating the use assumptions of toxicological risk assessment. Golden's label advice for using chemical products safely, while conservative, emphasizes the need to err on the side of caution when using art materials. It's a lot of information to fit onto a label, Golden believe it's the best service they can offer. More information about Golden Health & Safety Labelling

Write a reviewI've been using Golden Open for many years and continue to praise the range at every opportunity. This is the slow drying version of Golden's Acrylic range. I am an Aviation and Marine artist and I have found that I use this brand successfully in both disciplines. One can blend, dry brush, wet on wet and fat over lean just as in oils but without any thinners other than water. Retarders are available as are matt and gloss gels but I rarely use them. A first class product with high quality pigment.
Excellent rich oxide-red alternative to Burnt Sienna. Mixes well with Quinacridone Magenta for clean transparent reds. Perfect for glazing.
I've been using Open acrylics for many years now. Their slow drying time is a real asset to my style of working. I can use Oils techniques without the need for thinners or other chemicals Drying time varies a little with some colours but overall these acrylics permit smooth blending with ease.
