Mixing with Some New QoR Watercolors

  1. You have no idea how helpful this article and color samples are to a partially color-blind watercolor artist. Having each the samples labeled so clearly help me to ‘see’ what happens when the colors are mixed. I can recognize colors in other artists’ work that I love but I have no idea how to create them. Thank you for sharing!

    • Hello Maya,
      We like the colors too! We do not have a set of the new QoR colors, although the six-color Ali Cavanaugh set does contain three of them (Ultramarine Turquoise, Perylene Crimson, Pyrrole Orange). We will let Marketing know you are interested in a set of new colors.
      Warm regards and happy painting,

  2. Good Day/Evening, Ms. Cathy.

    Amongst the newly-added pigments to your watercolor range, I love your Pyrrole Orange, Isoindolinone Yellow, and Naples Yellow Deep the most. As you may already know, I tend to use QoR more as gouache than watercolor due to the flexibility of the resulting films upon drying- even when applied thickly. Based on Bruce McEvoy,s pigment recommendations, I’ve known that Naples Yellow Deep(PBR24) can easily function as gouache even when relatively dilute, but I was pleasantly surprised that even Pyrrole Orange(PO73) is opaque enough to be used on its own bodycolor (provided it is thick enough). One of the hardest chores in the world of gouache is finding a single-pigment, non-Cadmium based, non-toxic, permanent, bright medium orange paint; now, my wish has finally been answered thank to your effort. And even though Isoindolinone Yellow Deep(PY110) is to transparent to function as a single-pigment Indian yellow paint, mixing a small amount of it with Pyrrole Orange can make sufficiently-opaque yellow-oranges; Conversely, combining it with the canary yellow-hued Benzimidazolone Yellow Medium(PY154) can turn it into acceptably-opaque Indian Yellow paint.

    • Hello Clarence,
      What a lovely comment you left for us! We are so glad you find the opacity and intensity of the new QoR Pyrrole Orange helpful for your painting palette. Should you be interested, we have a QoR chart that is sortable by traits like Opacity/Transparency. Simply click on that in the header, and all of the colors will be sorted from opaque to transparent (or the opposite).
      Once again, thank you. We wish you great joy and success in your gouache painting.

  3. Although the names of the colors are hard to remember, the colors created are lovely. They would be hard to recreate with other paints, I’d love to try a tube or two in my renderings,

    • Hello Lois,
      We are glad you find the colors attractive. Unfortunately we do not have samples of the new QoR paints. We hope you do decide to try one or two to see what mixes they can create for you.
      Warm regards and best wishes for happy painting,
      Cathy
