I have tried almost every brand of watercolor out there through my over 20 years of watercolor painting and QOR are my very favorite. I absolutely do not agree with you that QOR's binder is gum arabic. I would LOVE to see gum arabic flow like QOR's watercolors flow. I absolutely love how I can fill pans of QOR paint and the colors dry perfectly in the pan and the colors stay true and vibrant even years later. I don't use the earth colors in QOR as much as I do with Greenleaf and Blueberry, but they are pretty, just not as intense. Put a circle of plain water on your watercolor paper and see how these watercolors flow. It's amazing! They rewet perfectly too. I was surprised that this entire review seemed very negative from the beginning but I usually don't watch watercolor videos that seem prejudged. Even before the testing.

Thanks for sharing! I just love seeing the opinions others have on watercolor brands and certain pigments. Aquazol is not Gum Arabic & not much like it except for texture and the ability to mix with pigment. The More Gum Arabic in the paint, the slower the flow. Here's some research I did. >Aquazol, is poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) – also known as PEOX or PEtOx, is a unique and innovative water-soluble polymer (plastic) which is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and biocompatible. Among other novel characteristics, this polymer is temperature responsive and inversely soluble above its LCST, ~66°C. A Polymer is basically synthetic plastic except this one was made water-soluble.
I have Qor and love the colors except for a few. Not all the pigments (like the earth tones) are the most vibrant & they are what I call a bully paint. I hate working with them because they are just too unpredictable and inconsistent. Great for back grounds though if you don't need predictability. I still prefer the consistent & predictable properties of Winser & Newton & Schmincke. When I replace a pigment from either brand, I know they will most likely be exactly in every way like the tube I'm replacing. It just depends on the type of artwork you use the paint for.

The green gold and purple are the prettiest colors. Thanks for making this video.

I have a very important question: you wrote that you can add mediums to your current watercolor to have the SAME cool effects - my question now is: WHICH mediums?

[nadeaner.cowley]

Yaaaay! I love Qor paints, they are def some of my fav. Yea Ive never had a problem with Qor paints rewetting and I live in an incredibly dry climate. I actually really love how Qor paints set up, they are firm but easy to rewet. I do have to say Im not a huge fan of Qor earth colors; like their raw umber and such bc i have thought they were a little gritty or foculating...so I'd stick with DS or Roman Szmal for Earth colors..but everything else Qor is great. Dr. Otto Kano on Youtube swatches out and reviews every single color from Qor- if your interested in checking out a closer look into every color. Anyway thanks for sharing and much ❤.

😂 we're all good dont worry about it the opera pink is stabilized by aquazol. I do applaud them trying to put forth something new and innovative in such an old medium. Change isnt always a good thing though.

Isn't it interesting that the qor paints don't bead up at all? And I hardly call you calling out a brand for illogical information being salty!

[phillipstroll]

I don't hear you being salt at all. Being honest isn't a bad thing.

Thanks. Please also mix the purple and the cobalt, to see if you can get any sort of normal blue in there. These are supposed to be primaries anyway.
