H2O 4 $40

I hoard watercolor paints. I’m always looking for vibrant brands that counter the perceived notion that watercolors are muted. With $50, I can purchase the introductory set of 12 QoR paints by Golden. The set retails for $38.99 at Dick Blick Art Materials, http://www.dickblick.com. I’ll be able to experiment with the broad color selection. Now to decide what to paint!

Looking for vibrant watercolor paints? Check out the new QoR brand from Golden. Consisting of 81 colors, QoR contain an exclusive binding material, called Aquazol, which keeps the pigment on top of the paper. That equates to more intense colors. Try an introductory set ranging in price from $22-38. Available at Dick Blick Art Materials, http://www.dickblick.com.

Golden Artists Colors released the new watercolor line QoR. Pronounced “core,” the brand offers 81 colors. Individual tubes and introductory sets are available. Prices range from $9-38. QoR paints contain the exclusive binding material Aquazol. The paints are not absorbed into the paper and float closer to the surface thus providing more intense, vibrant colors.
