I love the Golden SoFlat paints -- a more fluid matte acrylic in wide-mouth jars, and I have played with the Golden Open Acrylics, but don't much like the stickiness of the heavy bodied acrylic paints. I'm probably never going to love-love acrylic paints to work with, but it's nice to see the difference between the various brands. The SoFlat paints are packaged in a way that avoids a lot of waste, and the Open Acrylics should help avoid the plastics-waste issue, too, as they will remain workable for longer.
The SoFlat paints sound quite like the Lefranc Bourgeois Flashe Paints! I didn't get much into the matte acrylic paints in this video, but I'd kind of like to get hold of some and do a comparison. I think it's the crazy pigmentedness of the professional heavy body acrylics that I like, and adding strong areas of colour with them over the top of the student grade ones.
Yes! I was hoping for another Helen video soon! I'm stopping everything to watch.

I have MatPub and Flashe paints that are super matte and in wide mouth jars, I love them! And no wasted paint at all!
