Golden Artists' Colours

Golden Artist Colors, New York, is the world's leading innovator of artists' acrylic products. Founder, Sam Golden, began his paint-making career in 1936 producing hand ground oil colours and working with artists in Manhatten such as Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko, and Morris Louis. Sam was one of the first people to see the potential of new acrylic materials for artist's use. Sam's acrylic paint was created out of a dialogue with artists who needed new materials to meet their faster and freer painting styles. The products that Sam Golden developed as the result of collaborations with these painters became the inspiration for his entire career.

 

 

 


 

Golden Artist Colours

Golden OPEN Acrylic







Golden OPEN Acrylic feels like no other paint, combining the best properties of acrylics and oil paint.

OPEN Acrylic is an important new paint for:

  • Artists who struggle with the fast drying times characteristic of acrylics – plein aire painters,portrait artists, landscape painters, painters working in large formats, painters who need more time.
  • Artists who want a greater range of control over their materials.
  • Oil painters who would rather use acrylics for safety and convenience, but find it difficult.
  • Artists and instructors who value the versatility, ease of use, and low waste.

OPEN is a new type of acrylic paint and is NOT intended to replace the existing Golden Heavy Body range.

Golden Digital Mixed Media

Allows inkjet-type printing to be incorporated into painting and montage techniques.

Golden Digital Grounds allow you to apply a receptive surface to any grease-free material, from cloth to plastic, paper to metal. The only limitation is what you can feed through a printer. There are three different Golden Digital Grounds to use, depending on what you’re priming:

  • Digital ground white
  • Digital ground clear
  • Digital ground non-porous

Golden Digital Topcoat provides protection from fading through UV light filters and stabilizers. To provide good protection, a UV filter layer should be a good millimetre thick, which is one reason why the Golden Digital Topcoat is a soft gel. This UV protection also makes Topcoat an excellent product for artists working with montage, decoupage, and coloured papers.
