From Golden Artist Colors comes a new watercolors set inspired by the expressive portraiture of acclaimed artist @alicavanaugh. 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.
The QoR Ali Cavanaugh Portrait Colors set includes 5ml each of:
- Nickel Azo Yellow
- Pyrrole Orange (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Perylene Crimson (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Sap Green
- Ultramarine Turquoise (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Paynes Gray
The set comes in a tin with a mixing lid and a mixing tutorial video featuring Ali Cavanaugh can be accessed via QR code. QoR Artist Watercolors are produced in New Berlin, NY by the Employee Owners of Golden Artist Colors, Inc.")
