The increased working time of slow-drying acrylics expands capabilities for traditional painting techniques typically reserved for oil colors. In environments where most acrylics dry too fast, OPEN Acrylics provide a more manageable and relaxed painting experience. Because OPEN Acrylics dry slowly, covered palettes or paint kept in sealed containers stay wet and are usable for weeks, greatly reducing the amount of paint wasted and preserving color mixtures for future use. OPEN Slow-Drying Acrylics are compatible with regular (fast-drying) acrylic colors, so you can control the drying rate to suit your needs, and just like regular acrylic paints, OPEN colors clean up with soap and water. Relaxed Painting Experience With OPEN, there’s plenty of time to use the colors and mixes on your palette and to move paint around on the canvas. Artists can work at their own pace without fear that the paints will set up too quickly. Easier Blending This professional-grade acrylic paint provides artists with increased working time for blending, glazing, shading, and softening techniques, making it ideal for portraiture, plein air, and printmaking. Conserve Paint Minimize waste and maximize creativity. The slow-drying nature of OPEN allows colors to last longer on palettes and preserve color mixtures for future use.
