Golden OPEN Slow-Drying Acrylics 2oz Sap Green Hue
Golden OPEN Slow-Drying Acrylics 2oz Sap Green Hue
Golden OPEN Acrylics paint in Sap Green Hue (7461) is an semi-transparent, pigment mixture with excellent lightfastness and permanency. Originally made with Buckthorn berries native to the near east, but cultivated in Europe since Roman times. The ripe berries make a pink dye, while the unripe berries produce a yellow juice or sap used as a dye and to make a yellow Sap Green pigment. Golden's blend is a more lightfast version of this historical color.
OPEN Acrylics are a slow-drying paint with a slightly softer consistency than Golden's Heavy Body paints. The increased working time of these colors expands their range to include more traditional techniques once only possible with oils. Thick applications can dry extremely slowly, so Golden recommends artists only use OPEN Colors thinly (< 1 mm). Drying time can also be accelerated by mixing OPEN with faster-drying acrylics like Golden's Fluid and Heavy Body colors. The slow-drying capability of OPEN Acrylics also makes the suitable for some printmaking techniques.
Because OPEN Acrylics dry slowly, painters who cover their palettes or use sealed containers have been able to use the same colors for weeks, reducing the amount of paint wasted and preserving color mixtures for future use.
