This allows QoR watercolours to provide more pigment strength and vivid depth of colour in every brushstroke, while retaining the best qualities of traditional watercolours.
The binder is used within the conservation community for painting restoration, and is more flexible and less brittle than traditional watercolour binders, offering improved flexibility and adhesion. The vibrant, intense colours flow well, produce incredibly smooth transitions and stay brilliant even after they dry. They also have excellent resolubility in water and have great glazing qualities.
