I love it that you make a painting instead of just swatching them, thank you

You make all the brands look good

This is my second viewing of this video, it never gets old

Your reviews are so thorough they're perfect for anyone really considering buying any of these sets. I got sold to the Mijello Mission Pure Pigment set after watching your review, and I also got it from Shopee 😁

QOR my number 1 choice …truly outstanding paint.

This is one of my favorite brands! I love how easy they are to rewet. And yes--they are more expensive to buy, however you will quickly find that you are using far less of these than of other premium watercolors. As Jay mentioned they can get a lot more pigment into a tube because they need less binder with aquazol than traditional gum arabic. Beautiful sample painting, Jay!

Thank you for testing all of those brands! This is an incredibly thorough review and comparison. 😃👍

The first clip of Qor's flow was so satisfying. 😍

Such a little goes a long way. I have three sets and one dupe across them Quin Magenta 🎉 a color that is not bad to have more of. The sets were well thought out and they are my permanent palette. Thanks for the review.

I love your accent (My 2nd husband is Filipino), I love to hear you talk. Your opinions are concise and well thought out. I love that you included a small painting using the brand you’re reviewing so we can see how it looks on a finished product. Great job. You’ve earned a mew subscriber!

Watching agin, it’s been a while. Thank you for the video. I like the sunset painting, so beautiful 😍

If Golden says a version of a pigment they offer is lightfast, then it's lightfast. They hired the ASTM to redo the tests for them, for every specific pigment they offer, in particular. And yes, the same pigment code, when made from a different brand can range drastically in stability, especially regarding the modern pigments. So yes, shame to D.S. for mislabeling his products, but the entire Qor line was tested from scratch, so you should use them without second thoughts (and I say it without using them cause they are not readily available where I live).

Another great review, love the colours in this set.

Oh my gosh, I'm blown away by how many watercolor brands you have tested. I have never even heard of many of the brands, or some brands I knew but I never knew they made watercolors, like Faber-Castell. Wow!!

Gorgeous!

This was such a great video! Thanks so much for sharing! 🤗✨

Comprehensive in-depth review for a really pricey set!

😱 I was waiting for this review 💖

I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting it.

QoR's PR177 is lightfast due to Qor's Aquazol binder.

this will be my next target to get !salamat sir Jay sa review.

Rewatching! I didn't finish watching this last night so I'm here again hahahaha

I had heard about regular alizarin crimson lightfast failure but not the permanent quinacridone kind. DaVinci 's permanent alizarin crimson is my absolute favorite of all. For me QOR didn't mix well or play well with my other professional palettes. I myself don't know if I am a fan of the binder and the mix it goes. If I need to thin out a pigment usually I use the ox gall. And Hansa yellow is questionable too. I love the nickel azo and burnt orange to make quin gold. A couple of favorites. Thank you again. Beautiful paintings.🤗

I love your sample.

Grabe looooods ❤

Wow, so finally some actual primaries ^^' I like the little rainbow spread 🌈, those colours look REALLY vibrant. The example painting you did was awesome again, of course 🥰!

Thanks Allan. I like to watch the fast flow of QOR. I love their transparency. I have their transparent pyrrol orange on my working pallet.

I usually hate color selection in most available sets, but this one is almost exactly the introductory set I would’ve composed myself. And the tin palette is very convenient. But I prefer a bit more control over my paints, so I’ll stick with my Schmincke, Daniel Smith and White Nights;) And I personally prefer darker more granulating ultramarines than this.

Thank you.

The company that makes QOR also makes great artist quality acrylic paints.

I forgot to turn on my notifications🤦🏻‍♂️ Im so sorry for being an hour late 😊 I've been waiting for this one. Keep safe Sir Allan

Golden paints is about an hours drive from me and just as soon as this covid crap is under control I will be doing a road trip. They make qor and have factory tours...i have been playing with them since they came out. They can create " painterly" pieces which i love.

Thanks for another great review, Allan! I'll copy paste what I wrote as an answer to another comment 😊: I did a lightfastness test this summer with all of my paints, including the 24 set from QoR (plus Indian yellow). They hung for four months in a southwest-facing window, it's not sun all day long there, but I do live in Sweden so the sun sets later than in more southern places. The QoR paints were seriously impressive since none of them showed signs of fading or changing hue, including PR177. I don't know that I would fully trust that result over time, it is a fairly short home test after all. (I'll probably put it up again next summer.) But it did hold up better than the W&N Permanent Alizarin Crimson in my test.

👏👏👏 Nice architect. Keep it Up 👌

I got a set of 6 that I got to pick from a limited color pool from Artsnacks, and I have to say it was one of the best buys ever. My set is kinda weird but somehow better than the normal split primary sets always given as introductory sets. It was like $35 so it definitely would've been better to just get the $50 intro set, but I just wasnt sure about dropping so much lol (the set I got also came with an awesome paint brush that I always use!) I'm glad to see you review these since i have fallen so deeply in love with this brand!

Wow , that was a lot of brands 👌❣️

Thank you that's great. Still not sure if I should get a 12 set of Qor. Guess only way to really know if you prefer it is to work with it. I started out with mijello and schmincke and don't have any comparison but also no complaints. Would get a new mijelo set in a heartbeat. I also just compared them to daniel smith and don't see a difference. I think the top brands in general are very similar. Just the flow behaviour is what I am interested in. Anyways thanks again, appreciated.

Excellent video my friend! I completely agree with your review and I'm so happy you mentioned the lightfastness of PR177 I'm still so sad about my moon glow, I've been mixing it now with winsor newton's permanent alizarin crimson, and Daniel smiths quin coral depending what hue I'm looking for in the separation. Also I never use PG7, I prefer pg18 too, I love the granulation and that it's a little softer. Pg18 is one of my favourite mixers. I've recently added Qor Cobalt Violet to my new ceramic palette, my original favourite cobalt V is Holbeins, but she's pricey here in Canada, the most expensive of all cobalt violets accross every brand but worth it, I was using daniel smiths because its a more pinkish hue but it was too weak, the qors is stronger with the same pv49 hue and more potent so its my current favourite. Qor is pricey here too with those 11 ml tubes lol I have a few winsor newton's I cannot part with because they are such clean mixtures that I find other brands don't compare, cerulean blue pb35 is one of them, winsor red pyrole pr254 is another, permanent rose PV19 because its a warmer hue that I haven't found in other brands and permanent magenta PR122 and permanent alizarin crimson which winsor newton's is single pigment pr206 which so far I'm finding the closest to the original, mgraham has some good ones but the honey based paint never fully dries here so I always pass on it and sennelier, both beautiful but too runny here in my climate to take outside of the studio. The rest of mine are Daniel smith which same as you I love the range, granulation and character of them, there only a few pigments I go elsewhere for. This was an excellent review my friend, it excited me and I believe your audience will find the same. Love to you from Canada my friend and much love and happy thanksgiving (its ours here in Canada this weekend so blessings to you and your family) xoxo

Thank you Allan, I was curious about them. I still don't know what to ask for xmas ;) I just bought some Daniel Smith from Teoh Yi Chie, they are on the way :) I'm really exited, I want to use them and see if they are what they say. I saw you won some giveaway recently from him, so congratulations! :D I hope everything is ok there. Europe is having the 2º wave of the pandemia, Madrid is locked down, but here in the Canary Islands, where I live, things are really ok, we behave good :) Take care! Besos y abrazos desde Gran Canaria!

I bought the 12 pc set and am happy with their performance so bought the 24 pc set…..My favorite is the magenta

When QoR gets yin mn on the market it will be great. They are the only company I have gotten an answer from as to whether or not they are trying to put it in their line. Just got a quarter pan...it is lovely ,closest to my blues would be m.graham anthraquinone but not in the mass tone. In a light wash it is closest. And is a beautiful vibrant blue. PB86, I thiink, is the pigment color.i don't know the manufacturer of my sample..,but it is unlike any blue I have....and I have just about a all except for Bloxx and PWC....

Sehr gut

Your reviews are always top! Thank you so much I was very curious about them but unless I get rich I don’t think I would buy them, even less after testing Mijello and Holbein, I thought that great flow meant great smoothness but as your swatches shows they aren’t necessarily related, may I ask which brand in your experience is the most smooth? I tend to prefer no texture at all for my illustrations.

They are so beautiful!!! I hope you sell some soon💓 Maybe half pans hehe

thanks jay for your classes can you make please make more tutoriales for landcapes...

My only complaint with the color choices in the 12 color set is that I would've wanted a PB60 rather than pythalo blue

Hi Allan great review and demo of the paints in action. Have you tried M Graham paints yet ? I have a few Holbein, they do hold their colour, but they dont mix and flow like traditional watercolours, they are more for illustration than landscapes. I also feel that Qor have a more natural colour, bright is okay, but in some cases Mission Gold , and other very vibrant colour do not look realistic to life as they are too bright.

water color collection pooo sanaaa

Hey will you do a video showing that brush you are using for the swatching

Sir Allan Please make a Review about the O.win Watercolor by paul rubens

They are so expensive and the tubes are so small. As someone who doesn't live in the USA these are even pricier. Beautiful paints, but I would rather buy Mijello, they are more affordable where I live and they are just as vibrant.

Qor is literally so expensive ☠️☠️ though I think they're good paints. I wish I could shop at Jackson but it's literally so expensive to there, 😭😭 not to mention the shipping costs is atrocious

Truthfully, I'd appreciate the ability of QOR watercolors to move so evenly and flow so well, but, as someone who want to set their paint in a specific way and in a specific manner, I might just end up getting an unwanted effect of flow. So I think QOR is not questionable in terms of quality, but rather on personal preference.

What is your all time favorite brand of watercolor and why?

DS will always win no matter what 😂 for all major pro watercolorist top notch pick. I have the DS primaries, and received as gift and they are wonderful to work with. However, I am sold on mijello pure pigment. Picture you painted using mijello pure pigment just stood out more to me than Qor. I pay attention more on your painting side than swatches. 😅

Have you ever tried to charge QoR into gum arabic based paints? It's brutal!

omg dami niyo po water color😱 yung akin nag hihingalo na sa dami ng plates naubos😢

To bad that the best part of every vlog you do , your painting , was speeded up. That said..straighht from the tube For does better than when dried in a pan. A question, ( why) ,will be asked at Golden paints?????

RFLMAO 😂😂 Moonglow is in the hot seat 🔥 for the lightfastness (or lack there of) I'm a whistleblower federal investigator putting all of Epsteins corporate partners-in-crime, including the stockholders in both major U.S. parties, in the hot seat via special prosecutors so that was just priceless! 🏆 🥉 I'm about to invest in my first professional grade paints. I love DS, but I just can't support the company after the Moonglow & their so-called natural pigments line revelations.
