When it comes to watercolor paints, if you haven't heard the name A. Gallo mentioned, you soon will. These extremely high quality paints are uniquely made from all natural ingredients, like rosemary oil and locally harvested honey from Italy where they are made, in the old tradition.
But, while big brand art supply manufacturers spend millions every year marketing their products to artists around the globe, small, independent manufacturers like A. Gallo create their products to their own, highest standards and package them leveraging the creative resources around them - all without the million dollar budgets.
Let's take a look at why the name A. Gallo is becoming a name that people are talking about and why they deliver to a fiercely loyal community who adores their branding, personalization, and the human touch that has become their signature in all they produce.

My sincere apologies for mispronouncing Giulio Giannini E Figlio (I said "El" Figlio). Also, I was asked whether the paints still smell like rosemary after the painting dried... and the answer is yes. Very subtle, but definitely there... and it's marvelous! Cheers! ~ Mark_

Too funny, Becky Tregear Art! "Mmmm.... honey!" I agree about that Pietra Rosa. I was so disappointed by Daniel Smith's Potter's Pink, that I was dying to try the A. Gallo version and it's exactly what I wanted Daniel Smith's to be (but wasn't). That Alina Gallo chose to mix the Potter's Pink pigment with others to create a deeper, more muted version is just fabulous. To use the Potter's Pink along with Pietra Rosa will likely produce wonderful results! Thank you for checking this one out! ~ Mark

€345, Holy Cow! I’m definitely going to have to live my best watercolour life through you, those paints are so expensive. Lol 😄 I do like that they sell the paint pans individually, I’ll perhaps buy a couple from them when they are back in stock.

@MDCampbell 3 года назад

Yes, I understand the price can be daunting. As I said to a friend who is a fashion designer, you can buy clothing at Wal*Mart for cheap, but don't expect them to be made well, comfortable, or last very long without discoloring, fading, or falling apart; however, if you buy clothing by a custom tailor, they will be expensive - yet, they will last a long time, be extremely comfortable, and won't like fade, discolor, or fall apart. These A. Gallo paints are like buying a full suit from a custom tailor. For me, they are worth the price on many levels. But again, I understand that daunting price, which is why I'm happy that A. Gallo sells individual pans and smaller sets. They really have it together! Cheers Ruby Buttons and thank you for taking your time to watch and leave your feedback. I held off buying a set because of the price. Now, I only wish I hadn't waited. lol!

@AlyonasWatercolourCreations 3 года назад

Beautiful watercolours! Making my own handmade watercolour I can tell these are packed with pigment. I really appreciate it when companies don’t use fillers to extend the watercolour in volume and compromise on the quality. In these paints it looks like all they use is good quality pigments, gum arabic, honey and herb oil. This is why they are so pigmented! Also I have been thinking of removing those trays from my large metal tins but you finally inspired me! :) they just get in the way of painting and I also prefer using a porcelain dish instead. 👍🏼👍🏼

@RE-xv9fp 2 года назад

This brand is insanely prised. People be mesmerized by the handmade package and the colours being handmade (most watercolours are). And artists raving about them. The allure is in the nice packages and the "scarcity" of the products. They sure know how to appear luxerius and make people go crazy about buying their products.

@MDCampbell 2 года назад

I appreciate your point of view, and I was skeptical at first, until enough artists I respect shared their impressions. So, once I made the leap, I had no regrets. These paints are very unique and very special. Are they expensive? Yes. But, I was clear on that in the video. Are they for everyone? No, because not everyone will appreciate the unique quality of these paints, especially if they've been using Cotman or Reeves. For people who love Sennelier or M. Graham, there will be a familiarity. For people who are willing to spend their money on a luxury item, it's a win. I'd rather spend my money on a product that delivers, hand-over-fist, than shell out a fraction of the cost for a product dud. That's my opinion, and I don't believe they are trying to create any false allure - I truly believe the hype is because they are just that good AND the packaging is so freaking awesome. People love their BMWs, Teslas, and Porsches, don't they? Of course, I drive a Nissan. lol!! Thanks for your feedback. I do appreciate it.

@mjpete27 Год назад

Hullo Mark, very well done review! I have been watching handmade paints make a resurgence and I must say that many are disappointing. I also have friends who tried these A.Gallo paints and they kept raving about how wonderful they are! I could not find a set that appealed to me, so I contacted them through e-mail and I substituted a couple of colors and added two more for a set of 14 half pans. They easily fit in their 12 pan metal palette. They are simply the best handmade paints I have used in over 40 years! I am enjoying them for special jobs or gifts. I am still a stalwart fan of DaVinci Paints of California and I am over the moon for their new Seaglass paint! I am a mixer from my beginner origins but some colors are so difficult to mix that sometimes your time is more important, so I get those custom colors for ease of painting. I hope you create more paintings and videos for these paints! I have enjoyed them myself and wish this company only the very best! They are amazing at every aspect of the watercolor creation process! Thank you for sharing your opinions and promoting these incredibly wonderful paints!

Hi Mark, that was such a joy to watch this. Thanks for mentioning me, didn't expect it and feel very honoured now. Throughout the video and even before in the super slow unboxing of this set, I felt how much you enjoyed them. And Alina Gallo does such an amazing job on the quality of paints, you can feel how much love and passion she puts into the creation of them, how important good quality is. The communication with them is top notch, very friendly, I got all my questions answered, it was just amazing. When I ordered, I got this rounded wooden palette (should finally make a video on it :D). It was sold out for months, but I just had to have it and it's 100% worth it. High quality paints, awesome palette and it came with Tintoretto travel brushes even! (Sorry for brabbling, good supplies make me so excited and I'm glad you get to use them now too!) Btw. isn't the Sap Green just gorgeous? With this set and the Fabriano papers, it seems like you have a whole italian art supply series now. :D I hope to see more of these in use! :D Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for this video!!!

Your channel just popped up and I just watched your video. I also watch Irit landgraf from Austria who mentioned A Gallo in one of her videos. I just went to A Gallo website. They seem to be sold out of everything but will be restocking. Expensive so I would probably consider a smaller set. The quality of everything looks amazing. I’ll have to check out your other videos.

@MDCampbell 2 года назад

Thank you for checking this one out, Bonnie Shapiro! Yes, the A Gallo sets are a luxury purchase, for sure. They are wonderful to work with, but with price being a major factor, they really aren't for everyone. I've recommended folks explore Sennelier paints, from France, which are also honey-based, or one of my favorites, M. Graham from the USA. For me, A Gallo was a worthwhile product to explore. I don't use them everyday, as I don't want to exhaust what I have. So, when I do use them, it's when I'm really looking to spend some quality, personal creative time. Again, thanks for your time on the channel and I really appreciate your feedback! Hoping you are well! ~ Mark

@lindyashford7744 3 года назад

If you push the two tabs on either side of your palette insert outward a little it will help keep it in place and stop any rattling. I forget who mentioned this otherwise I would credit them, I hated that the inserts shift and were a little unstable, as I love this style of palette. Haven’t yet taken of the mixing flap of any of mine, most of which are the littlest version, but for these big tins it would definitely be worth doing they really use up desk real estate! I doubt I will ever buy any of these paints, not because I don’t want to, but because there is no way I could justify it having a very lovely set of a different Italian company with historic and lovely colours. Ah, watercolour. A very addictive interest!

Greetings Dee-Ellen Cook and thank you for taking your time to watch, but even more so for your wonderful, kind comment. The A. Gallo paints are definitely something I choose to work with very carefully, as they are my "special" set of paints that I cherish dearly. Are they the best paints I've ever owned? Not necessarily. I tend to favor other brands for my professional work because I don't have such an emotional connection to them like I do with the A. Gallo paints. I mean, when I work with them and catch that scent of rosemary oil... oh my! Just wonderful! As for the painting, I am so grateful for your thoughts. I don't usually sell my artwork. If you wish to email me, I might be able to send you something. Just let me know. Thank you again and I hope you enjoy those paints as much as I do! Cheers! ~ Mark

@capyboppy 3 года назад

I’ve just caved in and bought the set of the 6 earth colours. I can’t really afford them but after seeing your video I just had to try them. Wish I could have run to the little wooden set. It will be interesting to compare them to the Mijello Gold ones which also have honey in them. But these along with the Rosemary oil should be heaven. What is the drying time like in the pans after use? The Mijello ones can take days even in our British climate.

@CeitDeVitto 3 года назад

I got the Natural palette - Although beautiful, I would recommend getting the Classic 24 instead. Although the Natural pallete is beautiful, they are not vibrant like the Classic. Overall I really am enjoying these paints - I too waited years to get them. I have been making my own watercolors for almost a year now. Something about using a Muller and knowing what is in your paints. (One of the reasons, I don't get the faux outrage over Daniel Smith's Prima Tex line)

Alina Gallo's work is amazing, especially her smaller gouache paintings. Given that she mostly paints with gouache (as do I) it's disappointing that they don't make a line of gouache paints. The watercolours are gorgeous, but it's really not my medium so I would have a hard time justifying the expense. However, if I were a watercolourist, I'd be jumping at these.

@MDCampbell 2 года назад

I agree. Perhaps that's in the works for them? There's a much bigger community of watercolor painters out there, and since gouache is merely opaque watercolor, it could be a possible venture for them once they are established as a serious contender in that larger watercolor market. At least, I like to think that's a possibility! lol! Cheers!

@angiepen 3 года назад

Well, if I ever win the lottery.... [wry smile] They do look gorgeous, though. FYI, "e figlio" in Italian means "and son." So in English it's "Giulio Giannini and son." Even though a daughter took over recently, I'm sure they got their business license with "and son" some time ago. :)

Hello Mark! Are you still satisfied with the A. Gallo paints after almost a year of having/using them? If not as much, what is/are your favorite brand(s) of watercolor? I'm a beginner but want to use high quality materials :)

@MDCampbell 2 года назад

Hi Adrianna Marszal! Thank you for posting and for your thoughtful question. I do still enjoy the Gallo paints and use them primarily for personal work, not professional. I guess because I feel a more of an intimate connection to them and don't want to waste them on test runs and dummies.Also, I don't travel with them, so like my M. Grahams and Senneliers (both also made with honey and don't travel well), they stay right here in my studio. However, I have a travel set made up of mostly Daniel Smith and Schmincke, with a couple of Windsor & Newton pans in there, too. That is my go-to set when I'm working on-site, traveling, or even in my home, outside my studio. I have enough tubes to refill when needed, so I'm not worried about wasting and feel like I can do tests and practice palettes, as opposed to the Gallo. If I were to advise a student, I might recommend getting a few tubes of Daniel Smith or Schmincke, some empty pans, and build a small set of maybe 6-12 colors. Explore mixing colors and work with a smaller set before indulging into a larger set. The tactile experience of filling pans and creating a personal set is truly one of the most satisfying processes I enjoy. I hope this was helpful! Stay well and again thank you! Best wishes! ~ Mark

Hi there, I heard somewhere that paints with honey are no good in really hot climates. Do you know if there’s any truth to that statement? Thanks, in advance.

@MDCampbell 3 года назад

In my experience, M. Graham paints, which are made with honey, can be difficult to travel with because in warm climates, they soften and become gooey. I've only had this happen once when I took my M. Graham paints on a hike in hot weather. When I opened the set, they were extremely tacky and gooey, but they hadn't oozed all over the place, as I've heard with others. For Sennelier paints and A.Gallo, I have not seen this happen, but, I also haven't taken them out into a warm climate. Cheers! ~ Mark

@OzzieOzzieOzzieOyOyOy 3 года назад

@@MDCampbell Thanks for that information. I think I need to steer clear of any paints that use honey then, because it gets really hot - sometimes reaching over 130f with high humidity. I don’t have a/c, so I can’t cool myself down, let alone them down!

I'm curious if you have ever tried artistic isles paints? If so, what's your opinion on them? 😊

@sandjune2753 2 года назад

Are these paints similar to Maimeri Blu ?

If you need to pick up a lot of pigment from the bottom 2 rows couldn't you just turn your pallette a bit?

@MDCampbell Год назад

Thank you for the tip, Lynette Brown, but it was the biggest problem with this palette that I had. It literally made me crazy. So, I decided to yank all the pans out and create a set like my others, where the pans are fixed. My life with A. Gallo is just sheer joy now! lol!! Thank you again! ~ Mark

$620 Australian dollars for a 48 set, prior to shipping cost. Ridiculous. Definitely a lot of hype.

@rubybuttons668 3 года назад

I don’t think it’s hype. It takes a lot of planning and man power to make a watercolour product like that by hand and from the best pigments and ingredients. They are clearly marketed to pro-artists though rather than the average hobby artist, I know I can’t justify buying them just to mess around with. Lol

Okay my reply got deleted because I had added a link to the website that's exactly the same as in the description. So I have to retype this again. SIGH. Anyway, check the description of this video, you'll see a link to the website. She is going to restock again on April 25 so you can get a set then :)

Do you get this nice packaging and sample paper because you're an influencer? I notice some companies only pay this much attention to you guys but ordinary customers, not so much.

@SunTurtle 3 года назад

Yeah, you need to sign up for A Gallo's newsletter. That's where she notifies people when the paints will be available -- they're limited in quantity so gotta be quick before they sell out. It's a bummer but I get it, they're handmade so she can't just crank out a ton of them even with her apprentices and assistants. I'm not yet ready to get a set but I want them so much! :D
