Modern Watercolors Reinvented with Aquazol® Technology

QoR (pronounced "core") by Golden Artist Colors represents a new era in watercolor painting, combining the beauty of traditional watercolors with the power of modern innovation. At the heart of QoR’s formulation is Aquazol®, an exclusive binder that holds more pigment than traditional gum arabic, resulting in incredibly vibrant, luminous color with every brushstroke. This unique binder allows QoR to deliver unmatched color strength and intensity, while maintaining the delicate transparency, fluidity, and control that watercolor artists love. The result is a paint that handles beautifully, glazes smoothly, and produces seamless transitions from light to dark.

Even after drying, QoR retains a level of brilliance rarely seen in other watercolor paints. The colors blend effortlessly, stay rich and vibrant, and will not crack when dry—making them ideal for large-scale work, detailed glazing, or expressive washes. Whether you’re working in the studio, classroom, or out in the field, QoR offers a new level of performance and responsiveness for artists who demand more from their materials. From practice sketches to finished works of art, QoR watercolors provide a confident, consistent painting experience for all skill levels.
