Experimented with some watercolors [Rembrandt, Sennelier, Schmincke, QOR.
Sennelier L’aquarelle is easy to use because they mix and flow easily, while Schmincke is more difficult to control according to my painting style, compared to other brands [they also fade noticeably when dry, I had to add more colors on the same area 2-3 times to make them more saturated]
Qor is pretty saturated and have weird flowing characteristic when using wet on wet technique [veiny], [quite similar to Hydrus watercolor], they are good when using on watercolor paper, but doesnt perform well on 100g sketchbook paper.[paints got absorbed into paper fiber so easily] while other brands performed perfectly fine.
Rembrandt watercolor is well balanced, I have nothing to complain, they have nice pigment strength and easy to use, have calm flowing characteristic, also reasonably priced compared to QOR and Schmincke
[Schmincke is really expensive in my area, so I didnt feel like buying so many tubes for testing]
