Loving this! I saw a video by Golden once and remember them saying an "Excellent" rating was based on their own testing not ASTM. In some brands PV 23 is not very light-fast and ASTM gives that pigment a lower rating. But QoR has tested their PV 23 extensively and says theirs is Excellent. Given Golden's reputation and cross-referenced with Kimberly Crick's database I believe them!
So much fun! I'm going to be taking a tour of the Golden/Qor manufacturing facility in central NY when I go home for vacation. They are very close to where I grew up. I'm so excited.
"I don't plan on getting any more colors" 🤣😂🤣I *do* like your color order. I've disliked palettes that put the browns and grays at the bottom when they're so closely related to the yellows, oranges, reds, and blues. Safe travels!
Correction. Qor, Permanent Alizarin Crimson is PR177. You said PR172. Thanks for sharing Miranda. This was Awesome! I love my Qor, however I don't use them enough. I really love all the browns. PS, you must have amazing will power if you plan to wait until Christmas to finish your Qor palette. I wouldn't. It's just one more color to complete it. Im too OCD for that. LOL. I would just buy it.
Oh my the Cobalt Green takes months to dry too! Be careful! I love that pigment (underrated IMO) but I much prefer Schmincke's, because my Qor has so much binder and it's so low tinting. I love how you were able to use the old tin!
I agree the Cad Yellow Primrose is really unique! Thinking of putting it in my porcelain palette. Maybe you need to put that one on your Christmas list too - oh you figured that out -- remember, there will also be FUTURE Christmases! I'm probably an outlier but I tend to like Raw Umber because it's so dark and because it's cool.
Sooo many QOR colors 🥰 .. You have lots of yellows and oranges 😃 from the Umbers, I think I like the darkest one the most. Have a nice rest of the week!
What a gorgeous palette and swatch sheet ❤. I’m firm into my no-buy, otherwise I’d be tempted by a few. I have the QoR 12-colour tube set and their 12-colour travel palette (which duplicates some colours in the tube set) but I picked them up on trips to the US, it’s a hard brand to find in Canada (and when you do, they are very expensive).
Fourth row down and the First four colors look very similar. My favorite is transparent Pyrrole Orange and I have that on my palette!cobalt teal another of my favorites! Beautiful swatching Miranda. Thanks for sharing that with us. ❤Happy Fourth !
“That’s the joy of filling tubes” You’re filling pans not tubes, lol. It cracked me up because I’m tired and I imagined you trying to fill tubes which would be an even bigger mess.
A thing I learned about Velcro from the doll costuming world - the adhesive they use is acetone based, so Beacon's Fabri-tac or 3-in-1 Adhesive are good to use to beef up the stickiness if you should need it. Also... I need to go through my own Qor paints - I don't have anywhere near as many, but they are pretty much the bulk of my watercolor paints these days.
It is gorgeous but I would never be able to pick out which color I wanted to use. More than my senior can compute. Added benefit-saw you had the same problem as me with the some of the colors making lumpy pans. Nice to know I'm not a complete klutz.
Wowsers that's a palette to envy. Id lovw some Qor paints to try but they're still a bit less easy to get here in Scotland so they're a bit pricey - im hoping the fact these new colours came out and more of you are reviewing them will mean that more UK suppliers pick them up and the prices improve. Unfortunately Hobbycraft which is the main arts and craft chain of stores in the UK has started doing away with some of the well known brands and is replacing them with what is clearly a cheaper white label brand. So it means i gave to travel to Glasgow or Edinburgh to access an actual shop, or order on line from down in England. Its si frustrating theres no good art store nearer. Anyway, that was a ramble 😂😂 great video, cant wait to see some paintings from this mega palette 😊
Oh Miranda, I am so much different than you. If I wanted a tube of olive green qor paint there is no way I’d wait until Christmas. I’d order it right now so I could have it before I leave. 😂 Maybe I’m a little bit spoiled?
Me too. Im just too OCD to not tie up a loose end. I have to finish things. It's closure. Does that make sense? She's got one empty spot. I would go crazy looking at it.
Just WOW! i knew you had "few" new colors to add but I didn't realize it will fill the whole palette 😅 but seriously it looks so so gooe filled with all of thrse colors! And even though I don't arrange my colors like you but I loved how you arranged theh looks so pretty 🥰 I can't wait to see you paint with them
Hahaha “more colors than anyone needs.” Pul-eeze 😂😂😂. Great video. I’m waiting for some new colors to arrive and will have to rearrange as well. It’s not easy being a watercolorist!😅😅😅
