ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Margot and I am a professional artist and graphic designer. My parents like to joke that I was born with a paintbrush in hand. I started my career after graduating from the renown Parsons School of Design in New York City and spent over 15 years creating and designing for many of the world's top Fortune 500 brands and companies. My painting journey started as a side project and a creative outlet for me to step away from the computer, go back to my "roots" in fine art and to hone my skills as an illustrator and painter. I started posting some of my work on instagram and the rest is history. My work is inspired by all the things that I am passionate about. Ballet, travel, graphic design, color and finding a world of beauty in all facets of everyday life. I hope you'll join me in this RU-vid journey as I take you through all the tips, tricks and trade secrets I've gathered throughout the years. I hope I can teach you some of what I know, help you discover your creative voice and I hope you enjoy this Channel!

Funny! I also have an A Gallo DIY plan. Just like your DIY project, my plan also eschews buying from Jackson’s or the A Gallo website. Instead, my plan involves travelling aaaaaaallll the way to Assisi, visiting the physical A Gallo store and buying a not-so-short list of supplies from them. I’m almost ready! I’m just missing the visa, flight tickets, hotel booking, funds to book the journey and funds to buy A Gallo art supplies. Other than that, I am all set. 🤣🤣

@Pointebrush Год назад

Take me with you! 😂

@awatercolourist Год назад

Pay 🤣. Seriously though, how cool would it be to meet up in Assisi! I day dream that I would go there, buy a dot card, a swatch card kit and a brush then sit at a charming cafe to try them out. I might even use the dot card to paint en plein air around Assisi. Having tried the paints and the brush, I would then visit the A Gallo store again to buy the paints that I like, more brushes, porcelain pallet(s), accessories and maybe paper. I have a very lofty, poetic and romantic notion of such a trip, and somehow the sky-high price tag is not bringing me down to reality. This is definitely one trip I’d make once I get the (financial) opportunity.

@LostTimeLady Год назад

Such a fun and sassy video! I will confess I bought A Gallo's naturele pallette, basically on the understanding that it was my one major watercolour purchase for the year as I upgrade to pro grade. (It sits as a compliment to my primarily W&N custom 24 pan which has my split primaries, some funky granulating mixes, and my beloved Smalt Blue hue and perylenes). I've been delighted with the A Gallo pallette so far, but I think you highlight a great point that sometimes we can find inspiration externally then turn to what we already have a recreate it, rediscovering old gems in the process. I want to watch more of your vids after this one!

@LCLand 11 месяцев назад

After watching this video I was inspired to paint with this very palette. As I did, I saw that I had written the pigments of copper blue so that I could try to recreate it since it took a year to get it… it’s gorgeous and should I run out….. Coincidentally, I am in the process of creating a single pigment palette right now, which is looking absolutely amazing btw….and I found that I had PB 15:3, two forms. sennelier turq and Cendre blue. One is mixed with pg7 and the other with white. So I mixed the two with a bit more white and py3 and not only did I create copper blue but so many other scrumptious shades of turquoise!! Blue to green lighter or richer with more or less white. That did it. My single pigment palette will have 2 exceptions because of the plethora of turquoise options that result. I highly recommend the exercise and adding these to your palette if you love turquoise as much as I do! Next to permanent rose pv15 it’s my favorite. You’re welcome. 😄

@sherryfurr9115 Год назад

Brilliant. My hat is off to you. I am blessed to have a lot of A Gallo paints. Don’t regret not having lapis and copper. Lapis is so pale I can hardly get any color on the page. The copper blue is much prettier in the pan than on the paper. When these are used up I doubt that I will replace them. You have set up a beautiful palette and earned the right to pat yourself on the back.

@Pointebrush Год назад

Thank you Sherry! Lapis is a toughie! I find that most commercial brands I've come across have been very weak. I have one that's by an indie paint maker by the name of Jazper Stardust which isn't bad but I've been eyeing the one from Prodigal Son which looks quite heavily pigmented. Anyway, thank you so much for commenting and for watching! ❤️

@shadowguard3578 Год назад

I have A Gallo lapis and I was surprised by the strength of color. Last year I purchased genuine handmade azurite and malachite and they have very low tinting strength. My A Gallo lapis is far and away much better quality than what I purchased on Betsy (if I write the proper name of the website my comment is usually automatically deleted). 😅

@landunderwave9850 Год назад

Wow, that is A LOT of paint! I have maybe twenty tubes of watercolor in my entire house and I felt a little guilty for having so many. Buying what I can afford when I can afford it, I wonder how long it would take me to re-create this duplicate palette, which is insanely gorgeous.

@Pointebrush Год назад

It most definitely is a lot of paint (and this is just scratching the surface 🙈). It comes from decades of collecting and buying for my business and for my clients. Some people collect coins or postage stamps. I collect watercolors 🤣 But in terms of duplicating, I think a lot of these colors are really good staples. You don't need them all but ultramarine, yellow ochre, quin rose and sap green for example are good solid foundational colors

@landunderwave9850 Год назад

@@Pointebrush Oh, yeah, fantastic foundation colors! For sure! I don’t have a sap green yet, but that’s on my list. I guess I’m in a weird category-totally not professional, but I have little watercolor obsessions. Granulation is one. And I was so mix-happy with W&N cerulean blue + one of my PR101s (whoops!), I had to cut myself off because cerulean blue is so expensive. (I live in Oz until July (probably) and I look forward to less expensive supplies back in the US.) I think the next one I have to get is a Schmincke potter’s pink. 💰💰💰 My other great watercolor love is high-flow paints like QOR. I just love watching the colors drop into the water and spread out over cold press texture. And my seven-year-old likes to paint with black, so our collection (if I’m honest, it’s not my collection anymore) contains a lamp black, a lunar black, and an indigo. We are oddballs, maybe. But we have fun! Also, I counted my tubes and I have 30 instead of twenty. I dunno, though, I could get a little obsessed over this palette here in the video. So beautiful! *swoon*

@maryhazlett Год назад

@@landunderwave9850 I just ordered Rosa Gallery. A reviewer here loves Qor. But she reviewed Rosa and loves them more. They flow, and for artist grade, not expensive. I normally use primarily Daniel Smith and handmade Greenleaf and Blueberry. Maimeri-blu is also great with tons of single pigments.

Fab video, a clever idea to show people what's available if you just think a bit differently. I do have A. Gallo paints, because I saved to get them and here in the UK they're on a par, if not cheaper, than say M Grahame or other big brands and theyre so pigment rich, you only need a tiny bit of paint.

I think that particular palette is especially expensive because it includes the rare pigment YIn Mn blue which is $40 for the half pan. Their individual pans and other palettes are better priced

I was definitely on the same page with you at the beginning when I was brainstorming it but as I started thinking about how I was going to use the palette in practice, I was reminded of how much I prefer working with single pigment paints as much as possible so that also influenced my decision.

@awatercolourist Год назад

Aussie Red Gold is actually the same as Arancione. They both use the same pigments. The history of that paint - as far as I know - actually goes back in time and space to the very, very, very distant island of - Australia. From what I understand Spectrum Art (or Art Spectrum, I can never remember their name) were the first to make this paint mix, inspired by Australia, naturally. Daniel Smith then either imitated them or bought the recipe from them, not sure which. And I have no idea how A Gallo pops into this story, but they somehow do. The end 😂

@Pointebrush Год назад

Well those blasted Italians took noodles from the Chinese. I wouldn’t put it past them to squirrel away some Australian pigments on their voyage back to the old country. Ps. If you’re Italian and you’re reading this… I kid the Italians and Io amo l’Italia 🇮🇹

It’s absolutely possible! However I would do it on a flat surface like a plate or palette and use a palette knife to thoroughly mix it before scooping it into the pan. That way your colors and pigments are blended seamlessly and you don’t get weird pockets of your pure colors. Ps if you don’t have a palette knife an old credit card or laundry card should do the trick 😉

I'm going to be the outlier and say that I'm somewhat disappointed with this. Yes, duping with what you have is great, especially if something is out of your budget. There's nothing wrong with that, and it can be inspirational and freeing, as you've clearly shown. But I feel it's important to give Aline Gallo her proper due for curating and creating hand mulled paints that are environmentally friendly (no lead, cadmium, cobalt, mercury etc), no fillers, with attention to historic pigments and practices that expand our awareness of watercolor as a medium. Her pigments are also mostly specially sourced. I have A. Gallo paints, as well as the brands you've used for dupes, and there is no comparison for me. Maybe in approximating the color, yes, sort of, but not in how the paints lay down and their workability ..... the unique quality the A. Gallo paints have can't be replicated. Each brand has its' own unique and valuable qualities. A. Gallo is a watercolor artist and a paint maker, and I think we should honor her creation and contribution to the medium, and understand what the expense is for, being careful not to dismiss it only as a "luxury" brand because of the pricing. The shipping is reasonable actually and offset with a coupon code. I only wish you had highlighted and honored her incredible collection and body of work, rather than just noting the expense. Generally I'm a fan of your channel and work, just so you know.

Hi Vati! Oh no! Sorry the video didn't come across well. I think I was more coming from the perspective of sharing my own personal experience and what I did in this moment of penny pinching, than any kind of PSA or brand review on A Gallo. Admittedly, I have never tried her watercolors so can't speak for the quality and profile of the paints themselves. I most definitely will be ordering a set from her when the time is right and sharing my thoughts because as you said, this is not the same thing as an A Gallo palette, it was just a way of mimicking a colorway that I saw and liked. Thanks for stopping by and voicing your thoughts!

@@Pointebrush I understand. The video was fun, and I'm glad you got a nice palette. I duped the Mind of Watercolor M Graham palette (but he didn't artisanally create the paints) mostly from my Mission Gold Pure Pigment set so I could follow with his mixing tutorials. You will be blown away by A. Gallo paints when you can get hold of some. I particularly like the Signature 1 set, a great mixing palette with some special colors (Notturno & Harbor Blue). She also includes a synthetic Tintoretto brush in each set, I think a nice mop brush in that Naturale 24!

@@PointebrushI think you came off just fine. I agree that while you did an admirable job subbing due to necessity…very ingenious!!, A Gallo can’t be replaced. I agree with vita on that point but I think it was many of the comments that slanted the message like vita thought. I didn’t think you did that at all. You just wanted your naturelle palette! Imitation is the highest flattery, as they say 😙 don’t worry dear Margot. We know you would never disrespect like this. Truly 🩵

Wish I had seen this video before I splurged on two A Gallo palettes. 😅

@Pointebrush Год назад

Sounds like a worthy splurge though 😝

First!

Right on the bell!

@awatercolourist Год назад

Well, it is A Gallo ❤

@phillipstroll7385 Год назад

I don't blame you. I won't pay A Gallo prices either.

Why is everyone intrigued by dragons blood? Looks like real blood. Not in my palette yuck! 😵‍💫

@keepyourshoesathedoor 11 месяцев назад

I love when my paint looks like blood.

stop it, spat tea outta my nose ‘make bootleg Watercolours ‘ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wonderfully scripted and narrated dupes video. You are like the Hannah Louise Poston of the paint world. Not a comparison but as a primarily beauty RU-vid viewer that’s what leapt out at me. A pleasure to listen to.
