Since you guys were so passionate about paint in the last thread, what watercolor brands have comparable or better pigment content to Qor?I don't know if I can go back after these, but the price in Europe is pretty high.I've tried Winsor and Newton, M. Graham, Sennelier, Daniel Smith, Schmincke, Roman Szmal, White Nights and don't see much of a difference between them, but Qor is noticeably more pigmented
>>7885737I am oil painter, but sometimes i play around with watercolor. I dont get watercolor in tubes, i use pans. White Nights and Schminke are good. Winsor and newtons are not, too hard, too little pigment.>QorNever tried those, so my opinion is basically worthless for you.
>>7885705I love traditional art.
Completed with Holbein oil pastels and framed, also got a huge acquisition for an antique interior oil painting
>>7885756From an art dealer in London, shipped with a second one that’s a sunset landscape impressionist painting
>>7885758>interiornigga, that's a yard, you can see the coach
>>7885756>>7885758You're so cool anon. How did you got in the fine art business?
>>7885756>those prebag handsAI will never be able to compete.
>>7885756>oil pastelsHow do you sell those, don't they stay wet forever?
>>7885791Yeah but who cares, as long as when it ships it is in tact the precariousness of the medium is their problem to solve and not mine. If you break a precious vase is that the vase makers problem for making it so delicate?
Why is nobody ever talking about it, i dried my paintings for years in a complete dark room. Looking back, no wonder some paintings took sooo long to dry.https://justpaint.org/impact-of-light-on-the-drying-of-oil-paints-initial-testing/
>>7885806>WOAH!? THE SUN MAKES THINGS DRY FASTER!????>uhm eckschoolee oil oxidizesnot my problem, nerd
>>7885806the most important thing about how oil paint dries is that added heat doesn't increase drying speed like it would with most fluids. The way oil dries is through oxidization. The best possible situation for oil paint to dry on wood stretched canvas is a dry day in open air with minimal direct light exposure. the air to dry the paint, and the low moisture to prevent warping on the stretcher bars or mold on the canvas, after which most if not all residences, apartments, etc. are already basically equipped to handle art storage with how stale and uncirculated the air is now (thank the lobbyists that got cigarette smoking indoors banned for this). The uncirculated air in most homes now is also a huge reason why chemical fires from art supplies are a non-issue in today's art studios. There's no fresh air, there's no rapid oxidization of flammable substances, there's no fires.
