If you are looking for more harmony in your color selection, being able to hold two cards up against one another without seeing the rest is a great benefit, I find this is the true beauty and wonderful usage of creating these individual cards versus an entire grid.Įdit: to add, a grid is so limited as it shows you one or two mixes of two colors. You can vary and add in washes, as well, to create little color profiles between two colors. Then under you can add different hues by varying levels of saturation of each color in your mix. The top line is your two colors with a 50/50 mixture in the middle. I used to love the grid and don’t get me wrong, I still paint one up anytime I get a new set of colors, but when it comes to practicality and usage, I find I use these cards comprised of two color mixes wayyy more. I have found that there are generally less issues when using these wet on dry, where flow is less of a chaotic factor.I will be cutting these up once fully dry. If you are a fan of controlling where the paint goes in a wet wash, these may not be for you. As someone who appreciates building a multi-brand palette, where I pick and choose my favorites based on which brand has the most intense or granulating version of a color, Qor can introduce chaos when added to the mix. Because the rapid flow is not suitable for all art styles, you may notice that regardless of having a nice option for a certain pigment I may not recommend it as highly as others. However, even considering this extra pigment load their paints are still very expensive. Some Qor colors, particularly Magenta PR122 are some of the most potent of any brand I've seen. This binder is thinner, less gummy than the sap of the acacia tree (gum arabic) and therefore takes up less space as a water-soluble glue, allowing more pigment load per tube than other brands. It can be a beautiful thing for those who paint loosely or abstractly. This can be fast and chaotic across wet washes, which can be a problem for those who desire precision and control of their paints. These watercolors are made without gum arabic and because of this unique binder they flow differently than any other brand. I have very mixed feelings about Qor due to the proprietary Aquazol binder. They make some of the most unique and lightfast watercolors available.
