This doesn’t happen often but I failed you. I didn’t realise I had totally underrepresented this set of watercolors before. To make up for it, I have fully swatch tested all 24 colors. Watch this video to see just how amazing and unusual these colors are.

Very heartening that A. Gallo is paying attention to your review, noticed the problem and sent you new paint! These are beautiful paints! Thank you for all your hard work Oto!

@sallygreenfield6991 Год назад

I bought the signature set because I loved it in your first video. Then I received it, and it was SO MUCH BETTER. SO I ordered the naturals set. And I loved THAT so much that I ordered the 48 set. I am now worse than broke. BUT WORTH IT. 😂😂😂

@lucyfielle Год назад

I also began stalking their site after the first video. Also because they had the YinMn blue in their round-up. Got the 48 set and a swatch card the first time around and then the blue set (because of one colour XD), a travel brush set with mop brushes and the giant travel mop brush... ... ... Now thinking of getting individual ones to make a smaller travel watercolour set as well since their most interesting ones lack a grey.

@user-sx7bj4sf7j 9 месяцев назад

Hahahaha me too, worse than broke hahahaha🤣

@sleepydrJ Год назад

As a yarn/fiber dyer, I get so much benefit from these color mixing/swatching videos! I’ve learned so much color theory from you, and I love how these watercolor videos teach me what to anticipate when I use similar acid dyes on wool or silk.

@iadenicole931 Год назад

Oto, you’re the best! Nobody does such in depth reviews as you do. Such great work. Thank you!

@GcOGc01981 Год назад

So excited, I won at the fair so I am using my fair winnings to buy the 24 Signature can't wait til it is here. It would be fast I am sure if I were in the UK, but I live in the beautiful State of Montana, USA, if you ever get a chance to come to America please come to Montana and you and your husband can stay at our house if you would like (we are under a 150 miles to Yellowstone Park). It's an 1936 era Victoria house, we live in the country just have cows and horses surrounding us and the wonderful tranquil sounds of quiet, unless the Peanut Butter Truck (UPS) goes my and our faithful dog, Isaac, let's us know it is here. Have a blessed day dear one. Love yor afghans, just found the most beautiful yarn hand dyed and made in Turkey planning to make a sweater shirt with 2 large granny squares wish me luck and that my wrists will hold out.

@pikkuoo Год назад

A. Gallo paints are truly lovely! Personally I think that the only way to know how watercolours behave, is to paint with them. I always take reviews based on mere swatches with a grain of salt..

@SarahNotSara Год назад

I really like the 'notturno' shade the most!!! Glad you were able to reswatch it for us to see. As a granulating watercolour fan, this brand was impressive. I only hope that the 'quality issue' with the first swatch isn't something that is a regular occurrence as I'd hate to invest money on these paints and have the same problems.

@sandrift Год назад

I’m so glad to see this video - I have several of the A. Gallo palettes and I love them, so I was a bit sad when your previous video wasn’t a deep dive. I’m happy you took the opportunity to try them again and found them as lovely as so many of us do! Thanks!

@susanvdm8611 Год назад

I really don’t need more paints but they have been on my ‘I want list’ for some time. as soon as I have some money not destined for important things I am going to order these.

@PaulaScardamalia Год назад

I love these paints because of the richness of the colors and the variety. Just yummy.

@spacepebble Год назад

Elizabeth Keefner here: I love these paints. After watching this video though I realize I need to add a couple more colors to my set.

@zoewhite7705 Год назад

Have you done any painting with them yet? Would love to hear your thoughts once you’ve used them properly, and see some of the results.

@spoonierv1543 Год назад

The only people who could possibly call this is a shill piece haven’t tried the paints… A. Gallo really is fantastic stuff.

@elvenham1 Год назад

I've seen those interesting textures in other handmade watercolors, so it must have to do with the pigment size since they can't grind as finely. I've only bought a couple of these paints to try some single pigments, and they were fine. All the multi-pigments always threw me off, but I see a couple here that I might have to try or play with mixing myself. Thank you for all your hard work!

@dezfraser Год назад

When I tried the signature palette and neutral palette I just had to buy the entire line... I honestly love thses more than my Daniel Smith, holbein, Roman szmall, ect.... your absolutely correct in saying these are magical and there is just a little something more knowing that thay are handmade. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I hope you will get to swatch them all 😁

@Mirrigold Год назад

Magical is such a perfect way to describe them!

@artieross9537 Год назад

Your channel's amazing. I'm hooked. I keep coming back over and over. Thanks for all your hard work.

@natlisan Год назад

Yes! A. Gallo paints are pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for! They also rewet so...easily! I see some AMAZING colour's here that I'm thinking about getting now! 😉🤔

@MixedMediaCraftsbyDiane Год назад

Very beautiful paints. Thank you for the review.

@amypanddirtytoo1926 Год назад

They are worth every last penny and then some. They are one of my top 3 favorite watercolors of all time.

@kimesch9698 Год назад

These are amazing! Beautiful and unusual.

@hArtyTruffle Год назад

Crikey! That yellow is positively glowing. Loving the granulating colours ❤️

@softandcosy Год назад

i really want to try these, the packaging is so pretty too

@rosebuompensiero8952 Год назад

I love my A Gallo paints. I'm so glad you redid your review and you love them too.

@artbycatfitz Год назад

Thanks for this comprehensive review, now another brand to put on my very long wish list.

@shadowguard3578 Год назад

I have some A. Gallo watercolors and I want more! I’ve gone down the A. Gallo rabbit hole. 😆

@melissaaldosari8024 Год назад

Stunning colors!

@Kaninchenbau Год назад

Honestly I wasn't quite sold on these colors before, but I sure am now 👏 Thank you for your hard work Oto!

@priscillawarren9979 Год назад

I have Signature 2 pallette, which is fabulous! Excellent job of demonstrating these paints. I learned even more about the A. GALLO paints I already have.

@annettefournier9655 Год назад

These are drop dead gorgeous! Getting this set would be my paint budget for the year! I'm already thinking which 12 I could make my own little pallet with. Aaaack. Lol.🤩

@derwood206 Год назад

So glad you did this! I love A Gallo watercolors so much I woke up very early here in the West Coast US for their product release over the course of two months (they sell out quickly and glad now Jackson's carries their half pans and some sets now)! Such beautiful colors and high quality! Hope to see them in your database!

@amberdreams_0 Год назад

I love A Gallo paints! Notturno and Morrelone are two of my favourites, but all their colours are just so gorgeous.

@DAYbreaking_Ideas Год назад

I have my A Galo 12 color set and took it on vacation. Love it. :)

@SuzanneLegault Год назад

I have a set of 12 and I totally adore them! I hesitated getting them because of price and shipping to Canada as well as the wait time to order them but I am so happy i treated myself to those.

@ethicsexistentialism4191 Год назад

Hi Oto! Thanks for your dedication and service to the world wide watercolour community!! You are FAB! 🙏I have so many watercolours (Schmincke/W&N/Holbein etc.) but no A. Gallo yet... I love these colours! I can't wait to get some when my other brands start to run out. Kind regards, Mary from Australia.

@danielleb.7055 Год назад

These paints are so beautiful. I ordered some and they're just lovely to work with. I'm a beginner with drawing and there for painting ( like terrible) lol. But I love the way watercolor move and flow so I always try to play. These are just beautiful. I had a problem with check out o. The day of release in July the site had messed my order up and I emailed them immediately letting them know and they were super nice and helpful and had fantastic customer service. It honestly was probably the best customer service that I have had in many years. Thanks for this video. Have a great day

@lindyashford7744 Год назад

Interesting. Many reviewers are quite negative about palettes that are not mainly single pigment based. This palette has a lot of mixes, and seems to be more focused on beautiful aesthetic colours and characterful handling. Personally I am not too worried about single pigments. The selection of colours in this set are gorgeous , it is way out of my reach, but who knows, maybe a few single half pans on my wish list, if not some mixing inspiration. Nice review as always.

@s.maskell7134 Год назад

I recently saw a video with John Cogley on the Daniel Smith channel and he explained that with most color 'mixes' the colors actually chemically bond, they will not separate when used, and so should be considered single pigments rather than mixes (even though they still state which colors were used).

@jennifer_mertens Год назад

It looks as though the Quinacridone Gold no longer uses PY150 and PO48. On the A. Gallo site, it shows a 3 pigment blend of PY150, PR101, and PV19. The Jackson's site lists the Quin. Gold as a 2 pigment blend, PR101 and PY150. In any case, this looks like an amazing set, thank you for such a wonderful overview of this amazing palette!

@threesixfiveart563 Год назад

I LOVE a gallo watercolors!! My favorite brand. I’m so glad you love them, too lol!!

@musia1861 Год назад

I was disheartened when A Gallo was out of stock, BUT Soho had the set and so will I soon enough. This review makes me feel less of a loon for spending the money ! I'm looking forward to using it on some 300lb Esportazione handmade paper I have squirreled away. Thank you for your work, and I love watching your hands...

@Cryptichroma Год назад

I call that "veining feathery," effect a rivuleting because it looks like a map of rivers with small, radiating rivulets. I use this effect for making waves with white gouache in my watercolour paintings. I love your swatch cards, I might try your layouts in the future. I'll need to find a supplier of these paints in Australia, as a few of them were very eye-catching! Thank you for this extra review :) subscribed!

@nicolawilkinson9079 9 месяцев назад

Jackson's now has a warehouse in Oz and they are stocking A Gallo - just bought two palettes on special :)

@catherinelevison3310 Год назад

Now … I’m excited to try these.

@Mirrigold Год назад

They're incredible aren't they! I managed to get the Mixing set in the last restock and then I've bought some individual pans from Jacksons and then after that, I had to buy more because I've never used a set of paints that are so rich, so easy to re-wet, so pigmented and vibrant, I've now just bought the other 12 signature set and I'm saving up for the rest. Honestly, this lot have now overtaken Schmincke as my absolute favourite.

@cassandraluxmoore3718 Год назад

Love your review!

@BB-nz5sk Год назад

Would you please consider posting videos of you painting the small pieces you create to mail to your patrons? ❤❤❤

@findingagain Год назад

A. Gallo has such beautiful paints; they seem like they would be such a dream. 20:32 I have had this happen to me before using Winsor & Newton's Viridian Hue from the Cotman line (I got it in 2017, just in case it's changed since.) It's interesting to see here, and a bit funny to see that it's also a PG7 color too. I could never figure out why the W&N one did it.

@scoiataeli Год назад

Omg, I really want them ❤

@LanaGoesArt Год назад

Hi!! I finally found the time to watch some videos and had to start with yours. This palette looks amazing, great job on the swatches. The Fig Green is so lovely indeed! The mixes are so soft. I was wondering if you painted with them already? I oftentimes find that I truly get to know the paints and their potential during paintings. Also this veiny texture, a few of the granulating colors I swatched did that too. It's the "cauliflower " of the granulating paints and it's quiet beautiful. :)

@theartisticactuary Год назад

Whoa! Notturno looks li’e it belongs in a Schmincke supergranulating tundra set.

@vikkilooper4075 Год назад

I love those cards with the pigment info, wash and Mixes. Are these available anywhere for us to get?

@temitopeoluwaseun Год назад

I love their paint set as well overall I love handmade paints over factory ones. The factory ones I love are mission gold and white knights and I know it’s weird that I chose them over my schmincke and Daniel smith. But that’s my truth.😂

@John_B20 Год назад

Love a huge majority of these colors from A. Gallo. Unfortunately, looking at their website and Jackson's today, it appears that most of the colors are on back order. The A. Gallo site said they would be back in September; however, it is September and they are still on back order. Will have to look again sometime to see if they are back in stock anywhere. Thank you for the review!

@Mirrigold Год назад

They re-stock once a month, it usually says what date on the website, September it was last Sunday, the 25th. The next re-stock on A.Gallo's website is October 30th and Jackson's Art has most of them back in stock now with some due any day. Because they hand make them in limited amounts, they sell out really quickly. You can set email notifications on the A. Gallo website to let you know when they're back.

@zhanna8632 3 месяца назад

@Everyoneisanartist776 Год назад

You have me drooling but the price, not so much. However, it might be worth it!

@martinanelsonartandpsychol6478 Год назад

Thank you for your video full of passion 😊! I would like to know, how they flow in water. Do you or anyone else have any experience with this? I am a passionate qor user, but I get more and more info about other watercolors that are also moving very fast. Would love to know about it. Thank you!!!

@koskey06 Год назад

Looks like there REDS or at least a few of them is where they have some unique options.

@marlenaamalfitano1558 Год назад

I just got some - WOW!

@OtoKano Год назад

woooooo! HAVE SO MUCH FUN :D

@palmhavenone Год назад

Thank you for swatching. Did I miss the lightfast ratings? Are these considered Artist Grade?

@Mirrigold Год назад

Absolutely yes they're artist grade and have high lightfast ratings on the majority (Jackson's has all the ratings on their listings)

@VeretenoVids Год назад

That ruby!! Now I really want notturno. I’m very curious about the interaction of he rosemary oil they use and the pigments-if it somehow increases granulation. If I was a scientist I’d be doing a deep dive into molecular chemistry, but I barely survived chemistry in high school. 😂

@qdmiya Год назад

Hi Otto, I didn’t get it when you say white normally make a colour lighter but darker in this blue? Why?

@stshnie Год назад

I watched another video of hers just yesterday and what she says is watercolours normally dry lighter but if white is added they dry darker. (It doesn’t matter which colour.)

@annruiz881 Год назад

Can you publish a book with your swatches?

@sherryscoloringandpaintingcorn Год назад

yikes they are pricey. Like on pare with schmik even . I can dream i guess lol

@rebamukerjee1403 Год назад

Remove the other video and change the header on this to Signature set redo! The first video doesn’t do the set justice!

@dorothyatchison1825 Год назад

Don’t eat that Clarence … it’s b.s.

@luisAntonio-wi9rq 3 месяца назад

I don't like it. Too many granulation for my taste. I will never use it, thanks for showing it.

@phillipstroll7385 Год назад

What makes these better than any other professional paint? They have the same binders, the same pigments in the same amounts. So why should anyone spend so much more for paints you yourself wouldn't even pay for? You didn't buy them so why should anyone else? Also you are paid for your reviews. You are paid by adsense and free product. Stop saying you aren't paid. You are. Otherwise you wouldn't be on RU-vid bedstead them you'd have to buy your own paints. Stop lying to people.

@Escherlife 7 месяцев назад

And you just got to watch it for free. Stop complaining and keep your hate to yourself.

@koskey06 Год назад

So they paid you now...... so u got "good things" to say about them.

@ms.rocketscience4924 Год назад

Did you not listen to her opening comments? Maybe watch more of her other videos to see her ethics in reviews before being a troll.

@melissamcintyre7661 Год назад

Someone needs to work on their LISTENING skills.... 🙄

@findingagain Год назад

There was no payment. They just replaced the paint that they thought didn't look right. Still a free product; still a genuine review. There's just much more to say now because she made full swatch sheets.
