QoR Modern Watercolors by Golden are a contemporary range designed to deliver unmatched brilliance and depth. Formulated with an exclusive Aquazol binder, these colors maintain vivid, luminous color even after drying and offer a greater pigment load than traditional watercolors. With 95+ lightfast colors, QoR combines the transparency, flow, and layering potential watercolorists love with the intensity and durability of acrylic or oil.
Beyond enhancing color brilliance, the Aquazol binder facilitates smooth transitions and provides excellent resistance to cracking and flaking, offering more flexibility on paper. Each color uses pure, high-quality pigments selected for their exceptional lightfastness, and the entire range (except Ivory Black 505) is vegan, using a synthetic substitute for ox gall.
Made in the USA, QoR is perfect for artists seeking bold color, flexibility, and reliable performance in every brushstroke.

- Properties
- Green earth is a natural pigment that varies from yellow and olive to blue-green in its composition and hues. It is semi-transparent, has low hiding power and tinting strength, muddies and darkens in oil, and is particularly good for tempera and fresco painting.
- Permanence
- Green Earth has excellent permanence and lightfastness, although some varieties can be developed by light calcining. It is one of the most permanent pigments because Earths are not affected by sunlight or atmospheric conditions.
- Toxicity
- Green Earth has no significant hazards.
- History
- Terre verte is French for green earth. It was discovered in antiquity, and its use has been traced to the Ajanta caves in India and a variety of Roman sites, including Pompeii. Green Earth was very popular for underpainting flesh tones in medieval paintings because this green was the compliment to pink on the medieval color wheel. Its use declined after the Renaissance. The natural supplies of the pigment are mostly depleted, and manufacturers currently duplicate the hue using mineral bases like Viridian, iron oxide, or chromium oxide, or artificial ceramic colorants. Pigments sold under this name can also be the result of mixing Sienna and Phthalo Green.
