Golden OPEN Slow-Drying Acrylics 2oz Viridian Green Hue
Golden OPEN Acrylics paint in Viridian Green Hue (7469) is a semi-transparent, pigment mixture with excellent lightfastness and permanency. Guignet of Paris patented the process for manufacturing Viridian Green in 1859. The popularity of this bright, exceedingly clear blue-green color led some to believe that it could eventually replace all other greens, both ancient and modern. Golden's mixture and is a useful replacement for artists familiar with the original.
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.
