QoR Artist Educator
HUGE NEWS: QoR + Sarah Janece Garcia
From Sarah: "I am so HONORED & THRILLED to share that I was selected by QoR Modern Watercolors to be 1 of the 20 artists selected throughout the US & Canada to be an official QoR ARTIST EDUCATOR! As most of you probably already know, I create my watercolor paintings exclusively with QoR & have for years! I rave about these products & the company of Golden Artist Colors Inc. because I see & feel all the positive differences in their company & products every single day in the art studio! For them to continue to believe in me as an artist that uses, shows, talks about, teaches, demos & etc. with their products is truly an honor!"
Below is a little more in depth exert about Sarah's journey with the amazing company of Golden Artist Colors Inc./QoR…
“My journey with using the QoR products has been quite an exciting one. Prior to working with watercolor I always worked in oil paints due to the strength of color and pigment I could capture with that medium. As I painted with oil I was continually working to make the oil paint look, feel, and work more like watercolor. Upon QoR entering the marketplace, I knew I had finally found the product that would allow me to work fully in watercolor while still achieving the deep, vibrant, and intense color that I love. QoR offers such a great range of colors and the paint allows me the ability to work with it transparently and/or opaquely all while retaining beautiful washes and saturation. The very first QoR watercolor product I tried was their high chroma set and I created a painting using just those colors. After creating that piece and sharing it online I was contacted by Golden Artist Colors and they asked to purchase that piece to display in the Golden Facility in New Berlin, NY. I am honored that my original painting hangs in the QoR Tour Path near the swatches of all the QoR colors that I love and use daily in my work. The journey with this amazing company has continued to be wonderful. In 2019, I was selected by them to be a QoR Artist Educator. I am thrilled to use this product and highly recommend that artists give it a try in their own work.”
