Thank you for the lovely review! Do you think you will ever do a review of the DaVinci line of watercolor paints? I use them as do other artists I know of with beautiful results.
I have been absolutely dreaming of this set and now that I see YOUR review, Oto I don't think I will sleep until I get it. You did some top notch advertising for them. I respect your opinion so much. Thank you.
I went to their site to check the set out after watching the video and reading this comment and they are all out of stock TT_TT. I subscribed to every possible newsletter / notification system there. That blue pallete is amazing and since it is similar to schminke in the way they behave ... oh mai.
@@lucyfielle they are tremendously popular. I’m sorry you missed out. You need to go to their website the minute they restock. Because several hours later they will be sold out again. So check out the date and time in Italy they will restock and work out when that is where you live and be on their website the minute they restock.
Colour me just a teensy bit jealous. 😉 Every time they send an email about the upcoming sale date, I go dream on their website. So glad you got to fully experience them - so gorgeous!
I have this exact set and I simply love the granulation, how well they mix and how true to colour they dry! Also they smell absolutely delicious every time you open the box. I’m surprised they haven’t made full pans for professional artists yet.
I love that you went back to the format of showing the swatching of colors. I used to miss how you would show the little circle swatches (like in the older "30 Days in the Studio" videos) There is just Something about watching watercolor being applied to the paper alongside your voice is so hypnotizing to me. Lol 🤓. 😍✌️
I love the textural look of these, but have to confess that though I might buy two or three of the more unusual colours I really would not dare to buy more, they are really expensive whether singly or in a set like this. I was really surprised to see them being sold here with a £ price exactly the same as the euro price, is there really not much difference now? I have a set of the other, more historic, single pigment Italian paint maker, also very lovely but also extremely delicate colours, and of course the contrast between this and those is very alluring! They are always so inviting, but I have commitments this year I cannot ignore. Enjoy this lovely set, Oto, they look lovely. It was so nice to watch a review by you. I could mix similar I suppose but the colours that really appealed to me were arranciata and fig green. Just for the joy of pans To dip into that are exactly what I would imagine? The Tyrian purple is also calling me…. The best bit of this video was your mixes which showed exactly what this set is capable of. Lovely.
After seeing this I ordered the set and absolutely love it. Since then I ordered two more. I love how they wet, how they go down and how pure they are. Plus they smell wonderful…some of my other brands have very offensive chemical smells. Thanks for the review.
Enjoyable video. Nice to see a set stray from the standard. They are very expensive but we can all dream and its fun to enjoy with people in videos like this. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so happy to see you have a chance to use their colors. I bought one of their smaller sets (12 colors instead of 24) and I thoroughly enjoy them when I use them
beautiful set. Their use of bright, stand-alone colors, across the board is refreshing. This review has pushed them up higher up on my wish list. Thanks for this review. 🌺
I was so excited to see this video pop up! These are beautiful , highly pigmented colors that are such a joy to use. I love the very subtle Rosemary scent. Often handmade paints use clove oil which I find too strong and it never seems to dissipate. Customer service is great as well and Alina (the A in A.Gallo) responds promptly to emails. I love that these are made by artists and artisans and that they partner with other artisans in their products and packaging. They are an investment, no question, but maybe one could buy one or two pans at a time with a Jackson’s order to gradually build a small personal palette. It is always a pleasure to watch one of your videos and hear your voice. Thank you for sharing.😘
I was waiting to hear about the YinMn blue and rewetting it. Exciting to hear they haven't had that problem. I am in love with this set but it's way out of my budget! I've put it on my wishlist and maybe one day :)
Thank you for this. I'm trying to decide on a set. I considered the classic set because my thought was to play it safe for my first experience of A Gallo. While I primarily use Daniel Smith, I've also created a palette with Maimeri-blu. I have used a lot of Greenleaf & Blueberry handmade paints and Letter Sparrow. I'm not an experienced watercolorist. So, do you think this collection would be suitable for someone like me? My father was a professional watercolorist until he had a stroke. Back then he used Grumbacher and WN. Incidentally, for those in the US, SOHO Art in NYC sells many of the sets, which saves on the overseas shipping. Thanks!
I really love the colors in this set.. I held off getting it, because I’m a very early beginner.. it was suggested to start with a different brand.. I did get the dot card..
I bought the 12 half pan signature set. So it has half of the colors that are in 24 half pan signature set. I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival. This review was so interesting and great timing. Thank you!
Ooh these are lovely colors. I've been seeing ads for A Gallo around, and have been curious about them, so thank you for this! Some of the more unique colors standing out to me here are the hokkaido orange, ruby red, periwinkle, notturno and harbor blue.
I ordered and just received the essential 6 set. They are nice!! I need more watercolors like I need a hole in the head but maybe later I’ll expand and get a few more colors
gosh what stunning watercolours, very excited to hear they're from Umbria! My family are from Gubbio, just 40 minutes away from Assisi. I'll have to try and pick up a tin the next time I'm in Italy! 😍
I was so excited to see this video released - yea! I'm a bit fascinated with their paints, but I don't own a single one. This set is gorgeous and the brush looks delightful. The Natturno keeps catching my eye... 😍
can you show the other side of the brush please. I want to see if the wires are flat and bound together. I got one and the wires are sticking out which isnt good. I wanted to know if this one is better made?
I got a set of 12 A. Gallo paints a couple years ago, yes they're very pricey especially when you're in North America! But the quality is truly outstanding and you certainly get what you pay for with these paints!!!!!!!!!!!
I have this exact set. Love the granulation and how well they mix together. Just don’t understand why they are not targeting professional artists more. Also the fragrance is amazing!
I have A Gallo paints and love them. I’d like to see a review of HiChromatics, made in Hawaii but can’t find one. It would be great if you did one Oto.
yes a wonderful idea for a souvenir. (i had an idea to get some fancy watercolor brushes, and maybe watercolor paints while in france. tho covid messed that up.....)
Oh wow! So gorgeous 😍 as soon as the swatches went up my brain was ticking off all the things to paint with these. Actually very versatile. Though to afford this set I would have to not eat for 6 weeks! I could really use a sugar daddy; but it seems like to much bother. 😅🤣😂 Thanks Oto. 💜
YInMn is a semiconductor material made from three elements: Yttrium, Indium, and Manganese which are abbreviated Y In Mn hence YInMn It would be called Yttrium-Indium-Manganese Blue.
got 3 colors in the post yesterday. Jarosite is hard to rewet. colors aren't drastically different from other brands except i'd say they SMOOTH out radically for a soft gradient, and it was unique. *SMELL: ok... rosemary? no. smells like menthol or something from cold lozenges.* it's faint. like, a random whiff and i remembered people said you could smell these. --yeah more of a faint antiseptic or vicks vapor rub smell than something herbally. is it bad? nope. it just doesn't smell of rosemary. (at least not the plant. god knows, essential oils sometimes smell nothing like the real thing.) *btw, this isn't meant as a dis. i still really love the color palettes they offer. but at $16 or so a halfpan,* i can't say it feels like a better investment than say white nights at $4 a pan. (i just happened to be swatching that brand. i don't support the war.). ERCOLANO RED does also appear to be unique. and JAROSITE.... it's a very very pale gold buff.... *All three colors are pretty and have that softness.* but it's up to you whether the minor differences are worth the $$$$$ of handmade paint. (haven't done a full painting yet, this is just the swatch cards).
A. Gallo is now available on Jackson's! bit.ly/3G0wlQL
Also, A Gallo has been kind enough to give a 10% off first purchase code for their website www.agallocolors.com/shop use the code DROTOKANO (this is for their own website, not Jackson's).
would this code work for this month's restock? :)

I recently bought their Blue Palette with Yln Mn Blue and Lapislazuli and I just love the whole palette. 💙And the best Lapislazuli I got so far. 👍
Hahaha I ordered the blue set in the wee hours of the morning in this restock (just because)!

My favorites. Very good review, as usual.
That is such a beautiful palette! It contains so many favourite colors of mine
I've longed to try these for a while and just missed yesterday's restock. I am so happy to see this review! I can't resist giving them a try.

Got the mini primary set.
Going to try and mix the: Nocturno, Harbor blue & Deep sea green. Love’em.
How gorgeous is that presentation, they look so fancy.
I'm so happy to see you have a chance to use their colors. I bought one of their smaller sets (12 colors instead of 24) and I thoroughly enjoy them when I use them
Those mixes!!!! 🤩 I agree with you that the harbor blue is gorgeous. Makes me want to dive in!
I have the 12 colors one and its one of my favorite sets that I use for a lot of studies color work. I love YInMN blue
This set is on its way to me now, so thank you for this very timely review! I’m very excited about these and glad to know you like them.
I just bought this set, based on your review. I can't wait to get it!
Thank you for the review. I happy to see they are available on Jackson's.
beautiful set. Their use of bright, stand-alone colors, across the board is refreshing. This review has pushed them up higher up on my wish list. Thanks for this review. 🌺
This is a really nice review of this set. I really like the Medici Red, Aquamarine, and Deep Sea Green from this set.
Thumbs up! 👍 cmon guys! This is a good review.
Great review. I ordered this set early this morning as a belated Mother’s Day gift to myself. I’m so looking forward to when it gets here!
Snap! Hahaha I ordered the blue set in the wee hours of the morning in this restock too (just because)!
I have most of A Gallo colors now but learned a lot from your review of this set. Thank you for your thorough review and mixing of them.
wonderful video! i only recently discovered A Gallo and was checking them out and bought a few colors (3, like a sort of primary set)

thats a lovely set and the brush is a great extra, i use those brushs and they work great
Thanks for the review. Jackson sells their 80 colors individually, and paints which re-wet easily are always welcome.
My wallet hates you for providing this information. 😉
@@VeretenoVids LOL. Less wallet trauma than if you bought the whole set ;-)
Thank you I didn't know Jackson's sell these. I like to pick my own shades.
I really love the colors in this set.. I held off getting it, because I’m a very early beginner.. it was suggested to start with a different brand.. I did get the dot card..

I ordered and just received the essential 6 set. They are nice!! I need more watercolors like I need a hole in the head but maybe later I’ll expand and get a few more colors
SO beautiful! I’ll definitely check out their site! Thx Dr. Oto. 👍🤗🙏🏻
Well damn now I have to add to my wish list! I love unique colours and I love granulating colours. Another great review, thanks.
gosh what stunning watercolours, very excited to hear they're from Umbria! My family are from Gubbio, just 40 minutes away from Assisi. I'll have to try and pick up a tin the next time I'm in Italy! 😍
I haven't painted in forever but these are so so gorgeous wow
I am trying to decided between the classic and the signature palette. After using them do you gravitate to one more than the other?
I was so excited to see this video released - yea! I'm a bit fascinated with their paints, but I don't own a single one. This set is gorgeous and the brush looks delightful. The Natturno keeps catching my eye... 😍
Lovely review! Those colors are amazing! I'm interested in the Hokkaido Orange PY2016 - that's a pigment I haven't seen before.
I have the A. Gallo natural 24 color set and it is absolutely gorgeous!! I like it even more than this set.
Oh, such a beautiful set 😩❤️
can you show the other side of the brush please. I want to see if the wires are flat and bound together. I got one and the wires are sticking out which isnt good. I wanted to know if this one is better made?
I got a set of 12 A. Gallo paints a couple years ago, yes they're very pricey especially when you're in North America! But the quality is truly outstanding and you certainly get what you pay for with these paints!!!!!!!!!!!
This is in my wish list! Thank you for this review. Have you ever reviewed the naturale set? I am on the fence as to which one I want.
i’m looking at the naturale set too, i hope someone reviews them in depth like this !!
I have this exact set. Love the granulation and how well they mix together. Just don’t understand why they are not targeting professional artists more. Also the fragrance is amazing!
I'm so sensitive to smells. Can you describe how strong the pans are and what it smells like? Thank you!
The herb Rosemary, she said. & not too strong.
@@MrsTiffanyGrey they mostly smell (lightly) every time you open them, it’s like a sniff of Italy 😍 very mild but pleasantly noticeable!
@@adriannamarszal thank you!
@@MrsTiffanyGrey very faint gentle rosemary
Wonderful video, Oto!
I have A Gallo paints and love them. I’d like to see a review of HiChromatics, made in Hawaii but can’t find one. It would be great if you did one Oto.
yes a wonderful idea for a souvenir. (i had an idea to get some fancy watercolor brushes, and maybe watercolor paints while in france. tho covid messed that up.....)

Thanks for the review . They are out of stock at Jackson’s. 😢
Is that real tyrean purple??
Nevermind. You answered my question.
I want to eat those colors
😂 They are gorgeous, aren't they?
@@MirandaWatsonArt 😜 yummy

But over 1,000 🥺
It looks like a majority of their paints are multi-pigment. Which makes me think the palette itself is overpriced.
If you look at their site, you’ll see that they are avoiding poisonous pigments, which means they are mixing hues for many standard colours.
Only eight single pigment colours in there. Not for me - I'd be creating mud within minutes.
In which way are they eviron. friendly ?
