I have been wanting paint that doesn’t dry too fast and recently I happened to catch a YouTube video of an artist talking about only using a handful of basic colors to create his entire palette. He was using Golden and he just blew me away. The colors are more intense and vibrant than Liquitex. He uses both. I’m sorry I can’t remember the artist but maybe I can simply look for Golden acrylics and find more about those colors.

I’m hoping I can get better results for yellow. My experience with Liquitex yellows has been basically unsatisfying. The color dries very differently to what it looks like when it’s wet. It becomes dull and too dark, losing all the lightness it has when it’s still wet. I’ll try using the Golden colors next. Soon I hope.
