http://www.artsupplies.co.uk/cat_winsor_&_newton_artists_acrylics.htm One of the major advantages of acrylic colour is that it dries quickly, allowing artists to overpaint within minutes and build up multiple layers during one painting session. However artists have said that acrylics can dry a little too quickly, especially when compared to oil colour, and this can restrict some painting techniques. Having listened to this, Winsor & Newton have formulated Artists' Acrylic to have a longer working time on the palette without compromising the convenient drying time of acrylics. The working time of Winsor & Newton Artists' Acrylics is now 20% more than our previous range of Finity Artists' Acrylics which equates to approximately 20-30 minutes. This longer open time makes Artists' Acrylic ideally suited for artists who want plenty of time to work and blend their paints on the palette and canvas. In tests with artists, Winsor's have found that this is just the right amount of time for working with all acrylic painting techniques.
