Learning about color in watercolor and seeing a new type of paint that doesn't fade as it dries.

The advantage to mixing with these pigments is glowing color that doesn't look muddy, even when you go to complete black. Many professional artists have switched over entirely to Qor brand as they see the great results, so I thought my viewers might like a demo of why I love them. (And no, I'm not getting a kickback.)

To mix a complete palette from the high chroma set, you’ll need to add phthalo blue or phthalo turquoise or a green.
Here are the colors I mixed or put in for my palette, in the order of the color wheel:
Light Blue - Cobalt Turquoise + Magenta
Dark Blue - Cobalt Turquoise + Dioxazine Purple
Phthalo Turquoise
Cobalt Turquoise
Sap Green - Phthalo Turquoise + Green Gold
Hookers Green - Phthalo Turquoise + Quinacridone Gold
Spring Green - Cobalt Turquoise + Green Gold
Yellow - Green Gold (This looks yucky on the palette but give it a try - it blends well. Add a bright yellow if desired.)
Quinacridone Gold
Transparent Pyrrole Orange
Umber - Dioxazine Purple + Quinacridone gold
Burnt Sienna - Dioxazine Purple + Transparent Pyrrole Orange
Raw Sienna/Raw Umber - Dioxazine Purple + Green Gold
Red - Magenta + Pyrrole Orange
Dark Pink - Quinacridone Magenta
Violet - Magenta + Dioxazine Purple
Dioxazine Purple
Black - Phthalo Turquoise + Magenta or Dark Blue + Dark Brown

Deb Watson is a well known artist and teacher - she loves teaching and her goal is get more people painting!
Deb loved drawing even as a child, but her parents discouraged art as a waste of time. So Deb became a nurse. Even while working full time and raising a family, she still dabbled in art as a hobby. Deb was most interested in painting realistic watercolors, but no classes were available, so she taught herself, over many years of practice (and a lot of bad paintings.) When Deb's art began winning awards and selling, (her work has won hundreds of awards and been exhibited in juried exhibits and museums across the nation.) she turned to art part time, and then full time. Deb Watson enjoys teaching and painting watercolor from Lancaster Pennsylvania, where she lives with her husband, one cat and a mischievous sheep dog named Edgar.

This was exactly the review i needed. I've seen so many people who didn't add the turquoise color you did and ended up disappointed, but you have taught me so much and now I have no doubts that this is the first pro set I want to invest in. ☺️ Thank you!!

[@DebWatson]

Having a palette of colors that work together well makes painting easier and more fun - hope you find yours soon.

Im so Happy that I found your videos 🤩not so many have qor watercolours, love that you show how to mix them. Didn’t know turquoise and magenta could be blue. Looking forward to all your upcoming videos 🙏🏼🎉🎨👩‍🎨

Have fun mixing colors - the blends are always unique and beautiful.

[@rosemaryclark610]

the other thing I've heard about Qor paint is that it has a lot of movement. More so than some other brands.

[@DebWatson]

It does, but I still love it!
