The extended working time of these colors broadens their range to include more traditional techniques that were once possible only with oil paint. Thick applications can dry extremely slowly, so we recommend that artists use OPEN Colors only thinly (\u0026lt; 1 mm). Drying time can also be accelerated by mixing OPEN with faster-drying acrylics, such as our Fluid and Heavy Body colors. The slow-drying properties of OPEN Acrylics also make it suitable for certain printmaking techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause OPEN Acrylics dry slowly, painters who cover their palettes or use sealed containers can keep the same colors for weeks, reducing paint waste and preserving color mixtures for future use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased working time for blending, glazing, shading, and softening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors stay wet longer on the palette, resulting in less waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for portraiture, plein air, and printmaking  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium viscosity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Color Swatch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color swatch shows you how transparent each color is.
