QoR 24 Color Set by GOLDEN, 24 x 5 ml tubes, Professional Watercolor Paint Set

I would recommend these paints primarily for people who have experience with watercolors and water control; they tend to flow very quickly and fill up any stray drop of water. I've noticed the flow tends to be a little less eager in their more granulating and opaque pigments, like cobalt teal, raw sienna natural, or cerulean blue chromium - but for the most part these paints spring across the page very easily. If you're someone who likes tighter control in your washes I wouldn't necessarily recommend them. I would also not recommend them to beginners. The price point + unpredictable nature of the flow isn't worth it when you're just starting out, in my opinion. If you're not used to color mixing, the way some pigments easily overpower others can also be a bit off-putting. All that said, I really do love these paints. They're comparable to brands like Daniel Smith, Da Vinci, and M. Graham - all of which also have their own little quirks - and you honestly can't go wrong with these paints, or this set, as it's a pretty standard assortment of pigments. However, several pigments have been included that really show off QoR's strengths: you get the brilliant vibrancy of pigments like quinacridone magenta, cobalt teal, and cadmium yellow primrose; the surprising flow of granulating colors like cerulean blue chromium and cadmium red medium; and their knockout variant of transparent pyrrole orange. If you're an experienced painter looking for vibrant paints that are fun to use, I would highly recommend them. They rewet easily and are just as vibrant as if you'd poured them straight from the tube. I'd ditch the titanium white and replace it with their stunning viridian (which has been the easiest viridian pigment to rewet out of those I've tried) or quinacridone gold deep (which, unfortunately, is a pigment that has been discontinued - but is still available as I'm writing this review). Their flow makes them perfect for wet into wet techniques, though of course you'll want to use a light hand if you don't want anything too dramatic. Overall a great bang for your buck and just as nice as any other top-notch American brand.

I am SO in love with these watercolors, no joke. They are just seriously amazing, and I can't believe there aren't more reviews for them. The paints themselves are vibrant and transparent. They layer really well on top of each other, and I think they mix beautifully. I know with some watercolors you have to spray the palette with water before you use them to get the paints to start flowing, but with the QoR, if you just use a wet brush, they rewet in a snap and you only need a little to go a long way. They dry well, non of the colors cracked as they dried for me. I did notice that most of the colors never "harden." They are dry, and they don't move, but I can go back and press my fingernail and leave a mark in them. I'm guessing it's the binder, and probably the reason that you can rewet them so easily! I love how well they flow in a wet on wet test. Seriously, they spread out and granulate and it's magic to watch, especially when you do a few colors and watch them blend and move. My only little complaint is that on some of the tube wrappers, they are starting to peel up. But that doesn't hurt the paint so it really doesn't matter. I want ALL of the colors that Golden offers of these amazing paints. I wish there was a bigger set than the 24 because I would buy it in a nanosecond.

I usually stick with Daniel Smith brand watercolors but branched out for a set of 36 tubes after watching many utube videos. I love this brand. Rich and creamy. Re wets fast. Really moves fast on wet paper. Just different from Daniel Smith. I love them both. Very worth the price to me, I'm getting alot of pleasure using these. Nothing negative to report.

I don't want anyone to think that QoR watercolors are not capable of providing a traditional, soft wash, they absolutely are. But these paints also bring a unique party trick. They are able to look brighter and more saturated than any other watercolor paints that I have come across. They take a little bit of adjustment in technique when one requires a soft, light appearance. I love the way that these perform. The pigment is so much more concentrated than one expects. I only wish that Golden offered sets with larger tubes. These are wonderful professional quality watercolor paints. I know of none better.

I'm an artist who primarily paints in acrylics but I'm partial to Liquitex and Winsor and Newton since I already started with them. Plus, the Golden acrylics are so expensive where I live so I never got around to buying them. For watercolour, I normally use Winsor and Newton and Sennelier but I since these Qor watercolours were at a decent price ($72 USD for a set of 24) on Amazon, I took the plunge. I have to say these Qor watercolours came in such small tubes that I didn't really expect much from them. However, when I swatched them, I found that they were excellent in colour, transparency, flow and very creamy on application. Their vibrancy is subtle if you hold back on the amount of colour you apply. Also, about 2/3 of the set are single pigment colours so they are perfect for colour mixing without producing too much mud. This set may have changed my mind about Golden products! Don't hesitate if you're still on the fence about these.

Qor watercolors, now that's something to talk about. Now these are some pretty great watercolors, compared to all the other watercolor products I’ve tried. Trust me I’ve tried a lot ranging from, every watercolor pencil ever, to watercolor pens, to even watercolor Pastels. I’m pretty educated for whats its worth, not to gloat or anything. For the review though I am going to be dividing it up into sections, because I found watercolor reviews always are better that way. Quality- I was disappointed in the quality of the tin that the watercolors came in. The tin itself was nice. The con to it though was the ting holding the water colors in place. I wasn’t happy to find my watercolors being held in by a very thin piece of cardboard. The Winsor and Newton ones had a durable hard plastic holding them in which wasn’t so bad. Well moving on to a better note here, the tin was good it wasn’t too bulky or flimsy. With the Winsor and Newton they were nice but I was on the fence about them not being secure. Now getting onto the paints themselfs, they were fantastic although the consistency did differ between some. I felt some of the paints were more liquified while some were stiff. The more liquified ones did tend to get a bit messy though. On the bright side though all the watercolors did seem to be very pigmented, even though they were hues. Price- The prices for the Qor was more expensive than all of the water color sets, but it was well worth it. Like I said before they were highly pigmented and gorgeous. Prices: Qor- $71.97 (for 24) Price per tube- $3 Winsor and Newton- $34 ( For 12) Price per tube- $2.80 Koi- $26 (for 18) Per tube- $1.50 Opacity- The opacity was really surprising compared to Winsor and Newton, I don’t know if this is just because of the pigmentation. Like I said again the pigmentation is amazing. Wet on wet- Ok, can I just say how amazing the watercolors wet on wet. They blossom amazingly. Compared to the Winsor and Newton, they blow them away. Winsor and Newton spread like you expect them to very small range and very veiny. While these ones just go every which way, in every direction. Blending- So first I laid down the cadmium yellow color first( Just a little tip I learned it's better to lay down the lighter color first) then once I did that I placed down the Cadmium red colors they instantly met. When the way they bled together was gorgeous. This was the first time I tried to blend the colors and they weren’t even that muddy which really made me happy. Colors- The colors were great they seemed to all blend together nicely and not be too muddy. I have seen a few other artist out their lay them out the primaries on paper and mix them together to get the secondary colors. So I decided to do that and it really opened my eyes to the abilities of these colors. They blended amazingly, and like I said before not even that muddy. Conclusion- In conclusion I would give these a 4/5 star rating with some minor flaws, other than that their pretty much perfect. The flaws I found was the tin, pickup, I don’t know if this was me but I found that the way the watercolors reacted to salt (The salt wouldn’t come off it required me to like pry it off), and lastly I put the watercolors in the pans a week ago they still aren't hard or firm. Other than those complaints the watercolors are amazing. The Pros definitely out weight the cons.

Wonderful watercolors! I’ve painted with many professional brands of watercolor paints, and these are just lovely, vibrant and best of all, colorfast. My favorite brand is actually Daniel Smith, as I love their granulation and range of natural earth colors. I hesitated in purchasing this set as I’m generally very happy with my Daniel Smith paints, but bought them anyway because I can’t resist trying and comparing watercolor paints out of curiosity. I’m so glad I did! I haven’t stopped using them since they arrived, and although I still love my D.S. paints, I have so enjoyed this set. They are smooth, rich, and blend wonderfully. They have just the right amount of granulation and the colors stay truer than many other brands when dry. I’d say that’s what stands out the most, and probably why I’ve been enjoying using them so much!

Qor are known to be unique watercolors due to their binding, aquazol, and I must say I must love them for it. They have quite unique properties, the most notable being their vibrant colors, huge spread and that they're staining; I can't quite recommend them for beginners as they work different from usual artist grade watercolors, but if you'd like to experiment and want the most vibrant colors you can find in any watercolors, Qor might be your brand. Important to note is that there are mentions online that they may lose their vibrancy if you leave the paint out, but I didn't encounter this; my colors were as vibrant dried out as when I took them fresh out of the tube.

Very good deal, these are smaller tubes, but still good. If you buy separate ones they are slightly bigger. It is still a good deal.

Des pigments très concentrés, de très beaux coloris. Certains tubes laissent échapper leur contenu sans contrôle possible.

Easily activated, great for abstract watercolour

Acquerelli top brand prezzo ottimo

Intense colours Great set of paints A little goes a long way and beautiful effects I have used them for a number of years now and they can be compared with high quality ranges
