GOLDEN OPEN Slow-Drying Acrylics, Chromium Oxide Green Dark, 2 fl. oz. Tube

The best of the best, Golden Open acrylic as never disappoint. They are pricey but still my first choice.

Absolutely love Golden paints but love this “open” that I purchased! This is my first tube of open acrylics and I love the expanded/slower dry time while painting! I will definitely be graduating over to replacing my heavy body with more Open tubes. This green is just gorgeous also!!

I only use this type and brand of acrylic paint anymore for my paintings it's so helpful how it takes forever to dry so I can blend it to my hearts content without it drying too soon.

As a miniature painter for the past 5 years I can attest that these paints are fantastic for speed painting, glazing and wet blending. In fact, they are superior in these categories to a lot of other paints I have tried. They are heavily pigmented and due to their slow drying time they are excellent for creating smooth blends right on the model. Because we are using so little, the drying time is about 20-30 seconds depending on humidity, plenty of time to mix right on the model or clean up mistakes if paint got somewhere it wasn't supposed to. I did not expect to enjoy these paints so much for miniature painting but I find they never leave my painting desk now and are used with every model in some capacity. They are a smooth gel-like consistency that mixes extremely easily and consistently. I highly recommend them for intermediate to advanced painters. If you're just starting out I would say stick with model paints but if you are ready to push yourself, these are excellent.

And artist friend recommended this color. I was already a fan of golden open paints. This color is so pretty mixwd with white.

I am beginning to think of throwing my oils in the trash. I love it that when I make a painting with Golden OPEN that it looks like an oil painting. You can't tell the difference, and no nasty smells. I change colors by wiping my brush on paper towels and hardly any acrylic goes down the drain. These really give you more mixing and blending time and yet within days your art can be ready for varnishing and framing. Wow. I keep the paint fresh longer than oil paint inside a sealed masterson palette simply on a glass palette (no extra water). Oil will oxidize quicker than that.

great

This is exactly what I wanted. For print making, u do not want a quick dry acrylic!

Molto bello perfetto per colorare le foglie...un po' caro

Excellent.
