I just bought and tried these acrylics for the first time. My plan is to use them for underpaintings on my soft pastel and acrylic paintings. As far as the pastel paintings go, I wanted a product that would not fill the tooth and the high flow acrylics were recommended to me for underpainting on pastel sanded paper. It worked. And as acrylic paintings dry, the paint shrinks a little and there can be pinpoints of canvas showing through. I will use the high flow acrylics as a thin layer to alleviate the pin points. I definitely feel these new paints are going to be useful.

Amazing product! As a retired art teacher; I was unaware ofthis product. I signed up for a bird painting class on line with thethe instructor from the Ornithological society. She was requesting that we use the ‘flow’ acrylics. I was pleased at how well they worked. I will continue using this product that I purchase at Michaels. They have a great supply at good price points.

After reading up on this paint a little I picked some up to try. Airbrushes great! Nice coverage, highly pigmented, and very smooth. You can thin it to extend it and it still covers nicely. I used the Golden Airbrush Medium and had no problems at all. My only complaint is that it is a gloss paint. I wish it came in flat or even a satin but it's not hard to work around. It takes a matte acrylic finish without yellowing or losing depth of color. I love this paint!

Exactly what I was looking for and this review is more about the excellent customer experience that I had with the Blick folks. My box was broken in shipping and this item literally had fallen out of the box. One call into the Blick help folks and they blazed out a replacement right away with no hassle and no cost. Problems will inevitably occur with online purchases/shipping, etc, and the great companies set themselves above the rest by how they make things right. Blick is terrific in this regard.
I was hoping for a product that I could use in my art studio to sharpen all the different wood pencils I use--graphite, charcoal and colored pencils. The machine jammed immediately upon sharpening the first colored pencil and was unusable after that. Blick sent an entirely new sharpener thinking it was a defective machine but the exact same thing happened and the motor is jammed. They only way I see to clear the motor is to take it apart which would be very time consuming, if it is even possible. I am back to sharpening my pencils by hand which may be a chore but a lot easier to clear out jams. The sharpener is probably great if you stick to graphite pencils but since their advertising clearly states "Works great on colored pencils too" I am giving this a 1 star for ...

I've always liked using Golden High Flow Acrylics as my auxiliary/mixing companion to Holbien acrylic Gouache. Their high pigment compliments Holbien's well and thins it out a bit making both stretch a bit. I decided to check out Golden's light green as an understudy/mixing paint for Holbien's Leaf Green and I'm so glad I did! It doesn't quite have that electric quality Holbien has but it's super rich, bright and easy to work with. Perfect for my purposes, a new staple for the palette.
Its fun to just drip the paint directly on the surface for easy backgrounds or underpaintings. Use a small palette with wells to blend colors. I've used these paints for 5 portraits now. The thinness of the paint makes it easier to use than heavy body acrylic with small brushes for details. For mixed media applications a very thin layer of either clear sanded gesso or Golden Fluid Matte Medium works great to create tooth for colored pencil finishing touches.Pro: Easy to use, blend well, stay wet long enough to allow blending. Great for details using small brushes. Very little wasted paint. Easy to make custom paint colors with the High Flow Medium and liquid pigment dispersions.Con: Since they do have a bit of retarder in them you do need to wait 10-15 minutes to ...

Not a big deal especially since it gives time for blending when compared to regular instant drying acrylic paint.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Golden High Flow Acrylics are the cat's meow! Well, I may not have expressed it exactly like this before, but you get the idea. I apply these using an airbrush and mix with other Golden high-flow paints, and I always get rich color, excellent coverage, etc. As long as these paints continue to be offered, I'll never use anything else. And have you tried using the Golden Paint color mixer tool? It's super helpful for formulating new color mixes. Check it out at the following URL and tell them the Masker Airbrusher sent you!
I needed to paint rail on a client's HO model railroad. Specialized Model paint vendors charge $3 for a 17ML bottle of "Rail Brown" but if you compare, it's Burnt Umber. Golden is a quality supplier of acrylic airbrush paints (flows well at 20 lbs, fine pigment size) and Blick's offers 16 OZ delivered for about $40, enough for several large railroads! I've been using an Iwata HP-CS and one of the new lithium battery powered handheld brushes and both are working great with the Golden High Flow Acrylic. A few minutes matching colors will pay big dividends!
I bought the neutral gray, and found that even after shaking it for 7 straight minutes the color was still separated in the bottle- when you pour some out, it still had brown streaks (and it seemed odd that brown was in a neutral gray... that's a warm gray to me 🤷🏻♀️). Even worse, once you mix it with another color, the brown still settled on top and I kept having to try to mix it back in...so pretty sure I got a defective one. The Payne's gray I also bought seemed to work fine, so mine could've been a total fluke...but I feel like it would be a potential problem I would run into again, so the high flows are a no for me.Then of course bc you have to shake it a ton, many many bubbles. Now I am NOT a painter, I'm a pastellist that needed a thinner type paint for ...

Now I am NOT a painter, I'm a pastellist that needed a thinner type paint for a project, so there's probably some fancy painter's trick for getting rid of the bubbles. However, I didn't have this problem with the Createx airbrush paint I also bought- it worked perfectly for what I needed after I thinned it a bit. Only needed to shake it a little. Still a fan of Golden's, but not the High flows...too inconsistentI do like the idea of these paints though- that there's so many applications and potential to them.
