The bulk of these pigments are staining to some degree.......more so than I have found in other brands, but really beautiful colors. I like how they reactivate with water after allowing to fully dry in the palette. I like how they seem to explode when dropped in an area that has been pre-wet with water. And, I like how they blend. As for how much more vibrant they may be on paper due to their "exclusive" binding properties, I haven't been able to make up my mind when comparing with my other brands on hand.
These following were done in the Stillman & Birn Beta watercolor sketchbook.
These were the first charts I did using the Strathmore Visual Journal with 140 lb cold press watercolor paper.
I just adore your color charts! I order a QoR 24 set a couple of days before I was hospitalized due to a mild stroke. Your swatch charts are bringing me a lot of joy since it will be a while before I get to swatch my own set.
