Pandora's Box 🏺 early paint layers in acrylics

So many graytones to mix, so much ultramarine blue and burnt sienna...

Incredible! Do you use some kind of medium to extend the life of your mixed colors? I have so much Acrylic but I struggle to mix enough/keep it from drying out and re-mixing/matching is the worst when I just want to paint. ><

Thank you so much!
And yes, I use a medium - my absolute favorite is the Golden Retarder fluid. Even a small drop goes a long way! And some of my acrylic paints are OPEN (slow-drying) versions, which also help with that.
... though I still end up re-mixing a lot :')

This is so cool! I have a question about your paint, if you don't mind indulging me:
I'm seeing a mix of Golden and Golden Open, and I'm wondering if that's "I want my pthalo green to be workable for longer" or "My tube of pthalo green just happens to be Golden Open"?

Thank you! Always happy to chat colors! Most of my basic paints like Burnt Sienna are regular, but the (often more expensive) unique shades that I don't use as often, I like to buy as OPEN so I don't have to worry about the tube drying out, as I'll be using them for much longer. I enjoy mixing both!

That makes so much sense, but would not have occurred to me! Thanks!
