Over 80 colors, including iridescent colors - QoR Mediums amplify color's versatility with increased gloss, flow or wetting while Grounds expand creative opportunities to surfaces and textures beyond paper.

From Golden Artist Colors comes a new watercolors set inspired by the expressive portraiture of acclaimed artist Ali Cavanaugh. The power of this six-color set is realized in the transparent mixing technique perfected by Ali. With these colors, painters can transcend basic flesh tones to capture the aura, interplay, and translucent color that appears in faces bathed with sunlight. The paradox of achieving a seemingly unlimited range of colors and expression from only six colors proves endlessly fascinating - as this palette is unlike that of any other artist.

- Nickel Azo Yellow
- Pyrrole Orange (NEW QoR COLOR!)
