FYI - I too purchased the same 3 palettes. I was able to easily cut the silicone palette in the middle section with a new blade utility knife to house 2 half pans on each side, leaving the middle section in tact. The silicone while a little thick, cut like butta'. Since there are 2 duplicates among the 3 sets (Cerulean Blue & Cobalt Teal) I was able to put all 3 palettes (sans the 2 duplicates) into one palette! Perfect for traveling! Thanks again Lindsay for alerting us to the deals! Have a great week!

I did the same, but I just used little sticky dots to adhere them to the silicone. It's not a perfect hold, but they stay put okay. The two empty palettes will be filled with other Qor colors. 😊

Does your cobalt green travel? Mine does. It isn't liquid like though. More like a thick ooze or a soft melted gum.

Hold on to your Humus! lol😆

Ok, I'm only 3 min. in, but I think that little box would make a cute sketchbook cover.

Qor was my first "big boy" purchase in watercolor land. I bought the 24 color, 5ml tubes. I absolutely LOVE them -- the colors are so vibrant, mix well, and, as always with Qor, flow like a dream! I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new to try this brand.

Qor in tubes was my very first watercolor set I purchased years ago. I own many watercolor sets today, and they are by far my most favorite. The best out there

I bought QOR for the first time when I decided to get serious about watercolor because of the excellent experience I had with the Golden Acrylics. I have not been disappointed. I live for the whoosh with a new tube/pan of paint.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this sweet set for under 20. Been using them this winter. Love Qor! Love your painting!!💕

Thanks so much for this review! To me, the magic of Qor is even more notable when you use them in combination with other brands. The “woosh” factor is crazy, and the Aquazol allows these paints to push into other brands with traditional binder. My fave travel palette is Qor and Daniel Smith pans, and the effects are incredible and organic looking for natural subjects.

@thefrugalcrafter

I totally agree!

I have the 3 mini palettes, took out the insert from one and can easily fit 24 half pans with magnets in the bottom. For more mixing space I separated the lid of one of the palettes and sandwich it onto the bottom of my full palette with a rubber band. When I’m ready to paint, a small binder clip holds the extra lid to the lid of my travel palette. Double the mixing space!

Nice!

Never tried QOR pans but I love the tubes. Definitely one of my favorites.

I tried the tubes and pans with other watercolor and the movement is amazing. I'm not sure if the different binders create the reaction, but it's fun to try. I love the paints.

Thanks! I enjoyed this review and I learned that 5ml tubes have the same amount of paint after drying as an extruded half pan. Never would have guessed but your explanation made sense!

Qor is excellent for travel palettes! The flow is great when you’re using a water brush on the go and they never become sticky or runny. Arches seems to be too “thirsty” for a water brush. The Charvin 48 half set really impressed me, the colors are so bright, even pastels, without any opacity or drying shift that I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other paint like them. They might be worth a look if you can find them! Especially the brighter colors that might appear opaque in the pan- they’re gorgeous!

@thefrugalcrafter

Charvin watercolors?

If you have more than one of these little palettes and choose to combine them, not only can you take one of the lids and sandwich onto the bottom of the full palette for more mixing space, these tins are also the exact size of neocolor 2 crayons, and hold about 10 of them for on the go art!

Yet I have given in to that “want monster” much to often this last year or so. I am glad that you are going through so many different products and I do believe that your opinions help many to avoid spurious purchases, so thanks for continuing to create your amazing videos.

love the other palette granulating set you show dont have them; in my country the half pans from schmincke and winsor do sell similar in price to 5 ml tube. I prefer tube paint but dont travel that much. If you travel the palette a lot use pans. Less risk of paint ouzingout of pans then with tube paint.

I only got the granulating set but the pink is one of my favorites in the set. Too bad they are discontinuing it.

I love my QOR paints that I have and I really like the pallet too. This is such a pretty set. It would be nice to see a painting tutorial showing how you desaturated the colors like in your beach painting, not sure if you recorded that one.

Golden does do their own lightfast testing. They put their own rating if there is no ASTM, or if really different than ASTM. I got the urban sketch kit based on your last review, it’s a really fun little palette. I already have most of these colors in the intense set, so fun.

I removed the duplicate cobalt teal and also the cobalt blue, since I like ultramarine blue better. But now I have 2 empty pans. I’m not sure what colors I should fill the pans with. Any suggestions? The tin currently has Ultramarine pink, Ultramarine Violet, Ultramarine blue, Cerulean blue, cobalt teal, cobalt green, benzimidazolone yellow, quinacridone red, van dyke brown and Payne’s gray.

I do love the Qor paints but those half pan sets are so overpriced in the uk! Not worth the money compared to the tube sets

If you have the Qor High Chroma set or colors, which I do, (I also have their Earth set..very good,) you will have 3 of these colors already: Dioxizine purple; Quin magenta & Trans Pyrole orange. So for me, I'm gonna get the additional 3 colors to add to my collection. I have wanted to expand my Qor collection and I love the Qor line and want to use it more. Thanks, Lindsay! p.s. maybe u mention this already?...it seems that Qor only sells individual colors in tubes and not in half or full pans....they reserve those for their sets....so I'll be buying the tubes for the 3 colors I need. p.s.s. I looked and see no single half or full pan colors. Do you know a source?
