Golden OP Series 4 Phthalo Blue (Red Shade) 7260

GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics are a slow-drying formulation with a slightly softer consistency than GOLDEN Heavy Body paints. The increased working time of these colors expands their range to include more traditional techniques once only possible with oils.

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.

The reddish variation on this very powerful tinting versatile blue. When used thickly it is dark and opaque, but phthalo makes beautiful transparent glazes.
