Here is something all of you painting fans might be excited about (I am!) Golden Artist Colors has just announced a new line of acrylic paint that has an extended drying time.

Golden calls this line Open Acrylic Colors, and in addition to forty available colors, there are also two mediums available--a thinner, a gel (gloss) and a general medium. The slow drying time on these paints means you can use natural bristol brushes and you can use them for applications like monoprints and screenprints, which is something you couldn't really use acrylics for in the past. I may have to test these out as soon as they're available from my local store. Let me know if you try them first!
