Hi Lindsay- I had a Qor painting on my wall with some sun for 4 years with no fading. Im working with them today and they are beyond fun and last forever! Thanks for floral demo! I did this painting with you few years ago. The colors are so clean, transparent and flow like crazy. Just gorgeous!

Thanks for this review. I love my QOR paints and reach for them often.

I love this loose flowers painting, so fun. I would love to try QOR watercolors but here in Paris are sooo expensive. There's only one shop to sell them, Sennelier but too pricey. I'm waiting for a good deal on Amazon. I'd like to try their High Chroma set. Thanks for the review, Lindsay 😊

Excellent review! Love the painting as well! Great paint! TFS

I am a big fan of yours! Thanks for the review.

I'm in Love with the Qor paints lol.😍 Maybe because they are my first watercolors and I don't have any comparisons? But I just think they are gorgeous. I didn't care for the tin at first but I've found a great use for it... I like to use it for traveling or out in the yard. I let the paint plops dry in the bubble lid then my pens and pencils and such fit nicely in the bottom, it works out really well. Thank you for doing this one!😀👍

thanks! I love the tins!At first I put dabs of paint in the lids, tiny ones, and it took forever to use them up but I didn't want to waste it so I kept painting until I used it up then filled pans. You made an excellent choise for first paints, now you won't have to suffer inferior brands:)

I love the qor watercolors too! I love painting deep skies and galaxies and their indigo is wonderful for that. It’s still a blue but very deep and moves so well in water. I only wish they had a opera color as that’s one of my favorites to mix with.

Loved your WC QOR fuschias. TFS!😘👍🏾

This is lovely. I've been curious about Qor, thanks for reviewing them. My fave flowy paint is Rembrandt which I bought after you reviewed it.

Great video Lindsay! 😁 I love my qors... very vibrant watercolors.

Great review! I’m excited to try the set I purchased!

I guess I'm not the only one who saw ballerinas! Like cloud shapes in the sky. How fun! These colors are really nice and a very nice variety. Thanks for the great review.

Beautiful. I especially love how the fuschia on the left looks like a ballerina. 🤩

Truly gorgeous! I’m off to try RIGHT NOW......

The flowers are like a hybrid of Degas’ ballerina studies and Disney animated botanicals from Fantasia or Alice in Wonderland-very joyful and spirited! 🤩💖

These are on my wish list for sure.

Those non-lifting glassy paints aren’t a Cobalt thing, it’s a silicate thing for the most part and a phosphate thing in the case of Cobalt violet. Silicates and phosphates in particular repel water and attract themselves so in the pan, the pigment “cakes” together and gets harder to lift when dry. 15 min or use warm water - either will solve it ;)

long yarn Wet the pan that won’t liftoff really well so it has a little puddle visible on top of the paint - a mister or a pipette make this easy - and leave 15 mins. Using warm water just speeds it up a lot to a couple of minutes.

Hey Lindsay. I love your tutes on just about anything. Your Honesty about reviews of products you have been given to review is so welcome. I want to know the truth about products and you provide and it! I likely know by now that most brands react wonderfully with these watercolors. As Irit shows in her QOR video, these paints will literally push other brands and colors away making beautiful effects. If this is new to you, try it.

Thanks for this work. I have 9 or 10 QOR paints. I really like the trio of yellows 129, 154 and 150. One quirk with the paints (from my limited experience) is that if you use salt, they tend to leave a tiny bit of pigment underneath the salt (more like flowers than snowflakes :-) ).

Yippee, Fantasia ballerina flowers. I got the high chroma set and went, ooooo aaaahhh I want more! These and Sennelier to replace my student grades as I use them up. Chomping at the bit really. Might just have to give my student grades away to make room. Hmmm. That could work😂😂😂

I really like my 24 set! They are great for traveling!

I have a set of QoR paints and I love them. They are very vibrant.

they look great, hope they get a better distribution of individual tubes in shops in the UK......... tfs

Nice review! Thank you.

Thank you Lindsay!💓

The fuschia look like dancing ballerinas. So cute!

Roxann Kennedy I just used it for the first time in yesterday's live stream for a Grisaille technique and loved it! I recorded this review a couple of weeks ago tho:)

Have you noticed that when you mix Qor with other brands, you can put primary’s right up and flowing into each other without getting mud? I’ve also made some gorgeous light blue sky with W&N and bright yellow qor bursting through and my sky didn’t turn green. It does the most amazing things and opens up all kinds of new possibilities. I’ve heard people say they’re not for beginners, but beginners often get mud and that’s something that doesn’t happen with qor, but like all things they take time to get used to for those who are familiar with regular watercolor and like to lift, etc…

I have a travel set of Qor paints in half-pans. I really like the ones I've tried so far. They are really vibrant. As I use up the pans, I figure that I can just buy the tube paints to refill the pans.

I've watched a lot of your videos reviewing the watercolors and I wanted to know if you can suggest the absolute best watercolor set for professionals. Not that I am, but I keep buying set after set and want to narrow it down to the best. I do like opaque and vibrant paint if that matters. Thank you very much in advance!! :)

I'm working my way through your videos but in reverse because KZread doesn't have a way to sort them from oldest to newest. Boooo!! You haven't used QoR paints in a while (if I recall correctly)! I love their flow. Gonna try to pull mine out this week!

I just bought the Qor 24 set plus a tin with whole pans as a birthday present to me from myself. I also bought a couple of extra colors since I didn't want to include the white and black in the tin. I have fallen in love with their colors since they really are vibrant and since there is little to no color shift when they dry. One other color that you might want to try (which isn't Qor, but Daniel Smith) is Aussie Red Gold, which has a mass tone of orange but tints out to yellow. It seems like the perfect color if you want to paint Koi fish. The only "catch" is that you need to use it on Arches or Fabriano or another good paper or the tinting out thing won't work. I might substitue this color instead of transparent orange on my pallet since it gives essentially, 2 colors instead of one.

Ohhh, and I forgot… that white!!!! It’s almost like a resist, but better!! If you put the white down first and go over it… watch what happens… it’s such a gorgeous glow.

Lovely painting! I am new to watercolor and still learning. One QUESTION: I noticed when you are getting your colors sometimes you take a brush that has one color on it already and you dip it in a pan of another color. Does that taint the color in that pan? How do you keep it from changing the color in that pan? Mixing colors is challenging for me because I don’t want to corrupt my paints.

@thefrugalcrafter

6 жыл бұрын

If the paint in the pan is dried down the most that can be contaminated is the top layer and it is more likely to remove color than deposit it so I waste less than rincing inbetween.

They do look like fairy ballerinas. Question- Do these Qor paints mix with other brands? I understand that these have a different binder so I wasn't sure if that makes a difference. You're a wonderful resource Lindsay.

they are as bright as each other but Qor seems to flow more but you can add more oxgall to schminke for the same effect. I only have 12 schmincke watercolors and they are nice too. Equal quality, it just depends what you like and what is the best value where you live I think.

Actually... it is NOT COMMON for Raw Sienna to have any sort of opacity or haziness, as you say it. The reason why most people use Raw Sienna is because it is a soft transparent and clean yellow ochre-ish color and they use it as a replacement for their muddy and opaque Yellow Ochres.

@thefrugalcrafter

6 жыл бұрын

Rrally? Often when I see raw sienna it is a mix of py42 or py43 and a red pigment so I avoided it choosing a single pigment yellow ochre. Maybe the milling is finer in a raw sienna than a yellow ochre then having such a common pigment? I just always went for a yellow ochre (and it is one of my most used colors.) What ate your thoughts?

@caitlinjeanne

6 жыл бұрын

Right, the raw sienna here is PY43 (natural yellow ochre) instead of PBr7 like it should be so that's why it has that quality. It seems like QoR doesn't have a real raw sienna in their range which is kind of weird.

@thefrugalcrafter

6 жыл бұрын

OK gotche, that makes sense,the same pigment as a PBr7 burnt sienna but nor burnt right? A have actually seen many raw siennas in pro granges that are a PY42 mix like the pro winsor & Newton raw sienna is a mix of PR101 and PY42 and I figured it was a standard practice (that's why I never bother with that color since I have yellow ochre.) I wonder if the color a company ses for their burnet sienna affect what they use for Raw Sienna as M Graham uses PBr7 for both burnt and raw and W&N uses pr101 for it burnt sienna and raw sienna. Thank you for teaching me something:)
