“Modern Watercolor – The First New Thing to Happen to Watercolor in 150 Years” –  Golden Artist Colors, the famed American paint maker, has collaborated with artists to make the highest quality professional art materials. That collaborative process has produced a new, thoroughly modern watercolour called QoR [pronounced ‘core’]. QoR has been formulated to embody the essence of watercolours and also comes from a technical acronym meaning Quality of Results.

The unique QoR formula gives vibrant, intense colours that stay brilliant even after they dry. It provides the subtlety, transparency and flow of a great watercolour, with colours that have as much vibrancy and fire as those of acrylic or oil paint. QoR’s has an exclusive and unique binder called “Aquazol” and it provides a greater density of colour than conventional watercolours, offering vivid depth of colour with every brushstroke.

Product features:

• It also exhibits excellent re-solubility in water and glazing qualities.
• The range includes 83 high-intensity colours, three of which are iridescent.
• Available tube sizes: 11ml
• Available in Series 1-5.
• *Due to the fact that QoR Watercolor are manufactured with “Aquazol” binders, some of the colours may interact different with other watercolour brands.

Please Note: Whilst a number of the watercolours listed in the QoR Pigment Information Sheet are displayed as ‘non-ASTM tested’ for lightfastness, Golden have every confidence in their durability. This confidence comes from the company’s own initial testing and the fact that the same pigments are used in Golden oils and acrylics. The ASTM specify a strict regimen of testing, which includes both prolonged outdoor exposure and accelerated indoor testing. This process is a lengthy one and the results take may years to be collected. Golden have not included their own proprietary permanence ratings as ASTM ratings are an industry accepted standard.
