QoR Watercolors

The First New Thing to Happen to Watercolor in 150 Years. Deep, Rich, Beautiful Color.

QoR's exclusive binder provides more pigment in every brushstroke, while retaining the best qualities of traditional watercolors. QoR offers a strength, range and versatility unmatched in the history of watercolors. The unique formulation accentuates the luminosity and brilliance of each pigment even after drying, while providing the subtlety, transparency and flow of a great watercolor.
