I think the fact Qor sent you their entire watercolor range while knowing full well you'll give your honest opinion speaks volumes to their belief in their product. I hope to find some colors to add to my collection!
Yes, and their ethics as well. They don't want to pretend to be something they're not and would hate to be represented in that way. They're like, we want you to communicate what these products really do. Top notch company, and I'm not saying that just because they gave me free paints. Plenty of companies I wouldn't speak highly of just because of free paints!!
You have no idea how much I appreciate this series that you created. Your overall knowledge of watercolor has helped me tremendously. I really respect the Golden company for insisting on an honest review of their Qor watercolors. Thank you Dr. Kano.
Ohhhhhhh heck yes! I have tons of Qor paints. I use Qor all the time. But what I don't have is a relaxing, lovely video series of swatching Qor! (Lord knows I'm not going to make my own.)
Golden makes such amazing products, and Qor has some of my favorite colors from any brand. Their dioxazine purple is nearly black in masstone, it’s gorgeous, and they’ve done independent lightfast testing so I feel confident using it!
Qor colors are so pretty but I don’t love how they handle, for my painting style, but still looking forward to seeing the rest of this series! I actually really like the look of the nickel yellow and cad yellow primrose!
I'm VERY excited about this series. I have to be honest that yellow is my least favorite color (spring daffodils and lemons excepted) so I have trouble getting excited about yellow other than for mixing or a base layer. That said, I generally gravitate to cadmium yellows.
I'm late to this series but oh my gosh what a great service to your viewers. Lots of information presented well and concisely. Thank you for all that you do for us.
¡Por fin! I was waiting for this moment soooo much girl! Thank you thank you thank you :D I love QoR watercolor paints! I don't have them all like you, lucky girl, so I will enjoy this series!! Thank you, Dr. of Colours ;)
I just got a free tube of Nickel Yellow. Blick's sent me a tube by mistake and when I told them about it, they said I could keep it. Amazing that they sent me an accidental tube in a color I didn't have, so it's worth it to me to try it out now. I like the idea of making pastels with it, so thanks for that!
I am very interested in this Qor series of videos. I want to love them, but in the colossal showdown series you filmed, the Qor colors didn’t ever seem to be the stars. Since they are expensive, I expected them to perform better in the comparisons. I do appreciate an ethical company though, so I am keeping an open mind. The first three yellows are amazingly bright. I like the nickel yellow on its own, as I do not like pastel minty colors like those mixed on your swatch card. I do like the sunny quality of the cadmium primrose. I think you could mix some nice colors from it. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing your expertise.😘
Videos about QoR watercolours? Oh, I am so going to watch it!!! Even though I already own about half of their range hahaha From this particular set of colours I only have Cad Primrose and absolutely love to mix it with Phthalo Blue.
I have almost a full collection. I'm missing 8 or 9 I think. I love Golden as a company and love QOR watercolors. The colors are so beautiful and I agree, they are such an amazing company!
It’s my basic cool yellow. I use it mostly together with cool reds (flowers) or for mixing greens. Doesn’t go well with warm colors though. Thank you for asking.
I was thinking of getting some Qor paints next year. This should be interesting! Their flowiness should be perfect for galaxy or tie dye styles of art.
Yay!!! Great video! I think I have all the Qors that I want- except for 1 or 2 maybe Thats usually how I pick my watercolors- i got thru each brands complete line and pick the ones i want and then chip away at the list, little by little. Ive finished my MGraham and Qor. Almost done with Roman Szmal. Now ive started working on Old Holland and Maimeri and Rembrandt. Anyway I love Qor! Please please do all your Roman Szmal after Qor!! Jk but please. Lol. Thanks for sharing and Much love💜💙
I've swatched all of the Roman Szmal ones! Not in as much details for the main colors, but I have swatched them. I've also done as detailed a swatching on this channel of their newer colors. I hope you can find them!
@@OtoKano Hi. Sorry about the late response. Yes Ive seen the roman szmal videos(I love them btw)...BUT I was referring to swatching the Roman Szmal line in MORE detail; like you are doing with all the Qor paints-like each color having its own swatch card and few minutes to shine with 'Oto the paint master' lol)-->I think swatching Roman Szmal like that is a really a good idea because the Roman Szmal Aquarius line includes many UNIQUE and RARE pigments--and I believe viewers and artists (even if they aren't interested in Roman Szmal as a brand or even if they arent into watercolor media all together) would be really interested in seeing a more in-depth look into the characteristics of such rare and unique pigments...ESPECIALLY since finding an in-depth look into rare colors like PV37, PY168, PO59, PY181..etc.. is nearly impossible to find online!!! YOU'D be one of the first resources for artists to actually see these rare and unique pigments painted out and discussed in depth!!! ....So...thats my unsolicited wants needs and advice...Lol.....Im sorry. Lol...Im really sorry for being bossy and a no-it-all. Lol. I understand reswatching Roman Szmal IN-DEPTH (like you are doing Qor) would be a huge commitment and time suck. Anyway great video, thank you for taking the time to make such wonderful videos for us artists!!! Much love💜♥️💙
Brilliant thank you for all ya hard work. I love Qor it suits my painting style I personally don't get on with watercolour thats doesn't flow well. This will be interesting yeah!!
Maybe I used the wrong paper to swatch but I just bought six and I found them all to be dull when dry. I use the same paper to swatch and Holbein and Davinci and everything else look bright and beautiful. Not qor. ☹️ I glazed and they look better but I didn’t need to do that even with my sennelier palette
So glad you are doing this! Could you rank the four (excluding Nickel Yellow) as to lightest to darkest? None of these appear to be tilted towards orange if I am seeing the colors correctly? I just bought the Primrose thinking it was the lightest yellow of that four.
do you mean order than in value? Or in hue? Or brightness? I've arranged all the colors in this series in hue order, so here I start with the coolest yellow and get warmer (although there's not much difference here!)
Hello Dr Kano, Could you please clarify how you do your dispersion test? Paper type, amount of water and paper grain all effect dispersion and flow! (Some people add colour to a whetted surface, others charge a damp surface, others like it when the water is shiny and proud of the paper.) (I am most interested in getting the particular Qor paints that move the furthest in shiny proud water along the grain, of Fabriano Artistico full sheets. Eg Payne's Grey moves a real long distance, as a fast movement! ) Thank you so much for your thorough work. In kindred spirit Eliza, Dulwich Hill, Sydney, Australia xx
Yes of course! I used bockingford paper, 300gsm CP. I wet the paper, but not proud of the paper. Then immediately drop a single drop of masstone color.
I’m surprised at the hansa yellow light’s opacity, but for me whenever I swatch my yellows most have an opacity. For me all the hansa yellows I’ve tried are semi transparent at least. I think that might have something to do with yellow being a light color because my nickel azo yellows are transparent but they are darker in mass tone

“Both of the colours alive in the mix” I like that way of putting it.
You have no idea how much I appreciate this series that you created. Your overall knowledge of watercolor has helped me tremendously. I really respect the Golden company for insisting on an honest review of their Qor watercolors. Thank you Dr. Kano.
I just fell in love with the Bismuth Vanadate Yellow. That orange mix was gorgeous.
Ohhhhhhh heck yes! I have tons of Qor paints. I use Qor all the time. But what I don't have is a relaxing, lovely video series of swatching Qor! (Lord knows I'm not going to make my own.)
Cadmium yellow light looks like it’s glowing!😳 It’s beautiful!
Golden is such a great company ♥♥♥
Omg, that layout with the colors sorted by hue!!! SO PRETTY
I love QoR so much :3
THEY ARE!! Such nice company to work with, and you can feel how strong the company passion and ethics they have.
Golden makes such amazing products, and Qor has some of my favorite colors from any brand. Their dioxazine purple is nearly black in masstone, it’s gorgeous, and they’ve done independent lightfast testing so I feel confident using it!
Yes! I can't believe how dark their dioxazine purple gets.
Always a pleasure. I have every confidence in your reviews.
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Qor colors are so pretty but I don’t love how they handle, for my painting style, but still looking forward to seeing the rest of this series! I actually really like the look of the nickel yellow and cad yellow primrose!
Haloing is going to be my new artist term for that exact dispersion. I speak Oto Kano!
Wonderful! Looking forward to seeing where my 12 qor colours fit in the 84. Thanks Qor and Oto!
wooo which ones do you have?
I'm VERY excited about this series. I have to be honest that yellow is my least favorite color (spring daffodils and lemons excepted) so I have trouble getting excited about yellow other than for mixing or a base layer. That said, I generally gravitate to cadmium yellows.
Totally understand, we all have our colors that we love and colors that doesn't make much difference to us!
Looking forward to watching the whole series!
I'm late to this series but oh my gosh what a great service to your viewers. Lots of information presented well and concisely. Thank you for all that you do for us.
Thank you, Golden, for valuing Dr. Oto's analyses like we do! My vote, by the way, is for bismuth, though I agree the primrose is seductive.
I would love a video on how you picked the tests you do, card layout and sizes, and how you run the tests.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to watching the whole series.
¡Por fin! I was waiting for this moment soooo much girl! Thank you thank you thank you :D I love QoR watercolor paints! I don't have them all like you, lucky girl, so I will enjoy this series!! Thank you, Dr. of Colours ;)
Thank you soooo much for waiting for this series!
I love Qor. Cool to send you the paints.
Tfs.
Wow! Good for Qor on this move. Thank you for all this work, and for sharing them with us! These yellows are just gorgeous!
I just got a free tube of Nickel Yellow. Blick's sent me a tube by mistake and when I told them about it, they said I could keep it. Amazing that they sent me an accidental tube in a color I didn't have, so it's worth it to me to try it out now. I like the idea of making pastels with it, so thanks for that!
Muito trabalho e cuidado que vocé tem com esses vídeos. Amei saber mais sobre aquarela Qor. Obrigada!
I didn't know something could display that bright on my phone, omg! They are liquid highlighter 😂
So awesome! It’s a testament to you and the quality of your reviews and analysis that they’ve sent you the paint :). So excited to see this series.
Aw that's very kind of you!
Can't wait for all the videos to come!
oooo definitely looking forward to the rest of the series 😌
Thank you so much for your support!
Very excited for this series! The primrose colour is very intriguing
lol yes they're pretty bright!
Cad Yellow Primrose is my favorite. Great video, looking forward to more.

Yay! I've been waiting for this as soon as you uploaded the unboxing!
Qor in th phil os so expensive and not a lot of youtubers exclusively use qor so im very happy to see you swatching these colors 🥰🥰
They are indeed expensive and I couldn't have done this series without their help!
Videos about QoR watercolours? Oh, I am so going to watch it!!! Even though I already own about half of their range hahaha From this particular set of colours I only have Cad Primrose and absolutely love to mix it with Phthalo Blue.
I’ve never tried QoR so this is intriguing. Thank you.
I hope this series get you interested in trying a color or two from their range :)
@@OtoKano … I think I will buy some and try them. Thanks!
Thank you Oto. Yup that whoosh factor is what draws me to QOR. 😉
I think they're all interesting.
Depending on what you're painting/drawing they'll serve their purpose.
I'd go with a Cadmium.
I really love your detailed swatch cards
Thank you so much! :D
I have almost a full collection. I'm missing 8 or 9 I think. I love Golden as a company and love QOR watercolors. The colors are so beautiful and I agree, they are such an amazing company!
I am using Bismuth V. Yellow and I really like it. Love Qor! Looking forward to the next Epesode! Thank you!!
What do you like using Bismuth V Yellow for?
It’s my basic cool yellow. I use it mostly together with cool reds (flowers) or for mixing greens. Doesn’t go well with warm colors though. Thank you for asking.
ooohhh, I waited for this! thank you!
I love QoR watercolors when I want colors that aren’t super granulating. Personally, I think they’re a top brand.
I was thinking of getting some Qor paints next year. This should be interesting! Their flowiness should be perfect for galaxy or tie dye styles of art.
I agree with you, they'd be perfect for those uses!
Qor is definitely a brand I only have one tube of and definitely want to change that fact!
Yay!!! Great video! I think I have all the Qors that I want- except for 1 or 2 maybe Thats usually how I pick my watercolors- i got thru each brands complete line and pick the ones i want and then chip away at the list, little by little.

The only one I didn't like was the nickel yellow! I'm surprised how many yellows are not transparent!
awww thank you so much!

Have a greater day, safer and happier!

I’m surprised at the hansa yellow light’s opacity, but for me whenever I swatch my yellows most have an opacity. For me all the hansa yellows I’ve tried are semi transparent at least. I think that might have something to do with yellow being a light color because my nickel azo yellows are transparent but they are darker in mass tone
yes, I too always have it in my head that hansa yellows are transparent but they hardly are!
Suddenly a week seems so long!! 😂
lol they're coming!
