Information from their website: “The unique formulation of QoR Watercolors accentuates the luminosity and brilliance of pigments even after drying. QoR provides the subtlety, transparency and flow of a great watercolor, with colors that have as much vibrancy and fire as the best acrylic or oil paint.”
My verdict: I love QoR, both in terms of paint and the company. In terms of their paint, they are highly intense colors that moves fast thanks to their own aquazole binder formula. They do not suffer from any shines, which is great for colors that have so much intensity to them. They are one of the top brands I would highly recommend. The only downside is the price, which is on a high side.
In terms of the company, they are hands down the best brand I’ve ever worked with. Everyone I’ve spoken to is genuinely passionate about the products, educating people and always insist on honest reviews. The last one is surprisingly rare in this industry. Their customer service is also top notch. I must say a massive thanks for QoR for sending me their entire QoR range so that I could test them out and share with you what their paints are like.
