On this painting I am using Golden OPEN Acrylics. They are a
line of professional artist acrylics with a uniquely slow-drying formulation. This
gives more blending time like the traditional techniques used with oils.
It’s still water-based, but these paints do not act like any
acrylic you may have tried before. Unlike standard acrylics, OPEN Acrylics have
the ability to keep moving. The "stay wet" quality of Golden OPEN
makes it a perfect paint for printing techniques, thin layers stay wet for a longer
working time. they won't quickly lock up or drag. Best in thin applications,
OPEN Acrylics are ideal for glazing, shading, wet blending and subtractive
techniques.
With the long working time, OPEN Acrylics are the perfect
acrylic option for plein air painting, staying workable in the sun and wind
much longer than any standard acrylic and more comparable to oils. The ease of
soap and water clean-up eliminates some of the health and environmental
concerns sometimes associated with oil painting and printmaking.
