I’ve been contemplating transitioning my Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Gum Arabic binder palette to the newer Aquasol binder with QoR Watercolors by Golden Artist. Those colors would be, Quinacridone Violet, Permanent Scarlet, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Nickle Titanate, Raw Sienna (Natural), Burnt Umber (Natural), Viridian, Hooker’s Green, Cobalt Blue and Prussian Blue. These colors would be either an exact match to my current W&N Professional Watercolors or the equivalent.

QoR Watercolor Ground
The completion of the inking of the original graphite drawing is done. The next step is to reduce the intensity of the contrast back down to the graphite drawing. The overall reason for this, because the drawing was done on D’Arches 140 LB. CP., is to prepare for QoR Watercolor painting. Each step has been done to optimize this endgame with QoR Watercolors. It was just a natural result that the QoR Watercolor Ground would reduce the inked illustration back toward the original graphite drawing.

Five Color QoR on Sized Mi-Teintes Paper
The first stage of this experiment was very successful. The Mi-Teintes paper stretched wonderfully and took the rabbit skin sizing well. Thus far the surface should theoretically take watercolor well. The fundamental concept is still holding together. If this works, I am excited to work on many different colored papers all made receptive to watercolor.

Watercolor Earth Pigments
Qor watercolors by Golden Artist. Create an earth pigment palette using Qor watercolors and the color chart I made years ago with Golden Artist Heavy Body Acrylics. This would consist of Yellow Titanate, Venetian Red, Chromium Oxide Green, Titanium White and Paynes Gray.
