Golden QoR Watercolors

November 18, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Golden introduced QoR Modern Watercolors about six years ago. I was immediately a fan of these vibrant, easily rewettable watercolors.

The first question I often get is how do you pronounce QoR? Well it sounds like CORE. And it stands for Quality of Results.

Here is an introductory video explaining the product:

QoR Modern Watercolors – Introduction

In essence, QoR has several advantages over traditional watercolors.

  • MORE COLOR. The Aquazol binder vs. traditional Gum Arabic is less yellow and gives you more color in every brushstroke. The pigment density is higher with this revolutionary application.
  • MORE VERSATILITY. Great on paper, but QoR also works on non-traditional surfaces.
  • MORE STRENGTH. QoR doesn’t crack or flake, even with heavy coats of paint.
  • MORE INTENSITY. Colors retain their brilliance. Even after drying, QoR lets pigments soar. You don’t see the typical strong color shift from wet to dry.

The company has done some detailed color mixing videos on four of the colors, shown below:

Quinacridone Magenta
QoR Ultramarine Blue
QoR Cobalt Green
QoR Transparent Pyrrole Orange

QoR is available in 83 tube colors, and several sets of 6, 12 or 24 paints.

Also, 2 years ago, Golden introduced the QoR Mini 12-color half pan set which is great for plein air painting or urban sketching.

QoR Mini – 12-color Half Pan Set

QoR MINI fits 12 half pan watercolors in a tin smaller than an index card. It fits perfectly in pocket or purse for urban sketching and plein air painting.

The set includes:

  • Cadmium Yellow Primrose,
  • Nickel Azo Yellow,
  • Transparent Pyrrole Orange,
  • Pyrrole Red Medium,
  • Quinacridone Magenta,
  • Dioxazine Purple,
  • Ultramarine Blue,
  • Phthalo Blue (Green Shade),
  • Sap Green,
  • Payne’s Gray,
  • Transparent Brown Oxide, and
  • Burnt Umber

Interested in adding these to your watercolor tools? I have listed the colors in each range on my Amazon Lists. The colors are listed in hue order to make them easier to compare and the sites are broken into country regions for ease of shipping to your destination address.

Sally Lynn is an Anarchivist® that often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…

Only the top row are included in the set. The remaining colors are mixed, and tinted 10:1; with those that are intended to emulate tube colors, painted out along the bottom third with their counterparts.

P.S. If you look for this set in the store, make sure to pick up the updated set, which replaces the Hansa Yellows with the new Benzimidazolone Yellows.

Included in the set: Benzimidazolone Yellow Light, Benzimidazolone Yellow Medium, Naphthol Red Light, Quinacridone Magenta, Anthraquinone Blue, Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Phthalo Green (Blue Shade), Titanium White.

Amazing evocative #portraiture artwork by @calidag Amazing evocative #portraiture artwork by @calidagarciarawles . In 'The Space in Which We Travel' (2019), two girls in white dresses grasp each other’s hands, creating the impression of a double helix. “If they opened their eyes,” Rawles said, “they would see each other.” Water has memory. Lovely!

Just finished this little painting in my #sketchbo Just finished this little painting in my #sketchbook over a light pickup #monoprint for the background. I was reading a book on the porch this afternoon during a light rain, and dozed off; only to be woken up by a very annoying little egret sitting atop a palm tree across from me. His antics were so funny that I called my daughter out to hear him. And so I painted it in my sketchbook for a little memory. Can you find the egret?

Working on the courtyard patio. The weather is so Working on the courtyard patio. The weather is so lovely today, and so I dug out some chairs and a table from the garage and our new @abba_patio 7x9 #cantileverumbrella to create a seating area to enjoy. These days staying at home is all about #outdoorliving and creating spaces to nest in, work on the laptop, read a book, sketch some plants or enjoy a cocktail as a family.

There is something very cathartic, very centering There is something very cathartic, very centering about hanging artwork on the wall. When a piece speaks to you and you choose to put it in your space - in your life... elevate that experience by purchasing that piece from an artist. NOT from a HomeGoods, but original artwork from a person. In this case Ben Dodge. I saw his work in Pressing Matters magazine and I had to have it.
.
Sister Corita Kent Rule No 6 by @bendodge which I saw in issue 11 of @pressingmattersmag and tracked down the artist to buy his work. 🙂
.
Which led me down the rabbit hole to learn about both artists and printmaker Sister Corita Kent who inspired the piece.
