Perfect paints

These are lovely watercolours. Pure, strong pigments, with a lively performance on the page. Beautifully presented, too. I'm so glad I bought these.

Signature 24 with Yln Mn blue - Handmade watercolor set

These are the highest echelon of watercolor paint that could ever be used, imho. Even while playing around with them, the result turns out beautiful! I never understood why high-quality materials matter so much when it comes to watercolor. These paints brought home that reality!

A Beautiful Collection

Receiving these paints was like receiving a gift from opening the thoughtfully wrapped packaging to the pans that were filled to the brim. Blue is my favorite color and every single color included is exceptional with wonderful pigmentation. I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful collection.

Blue Palette - Handmade Watercolor set
Rush delicious color

I originally ordered A.Gallo paints out of curiosity but they are now my absolute favorite watercolor brand
These paints have such rich color. From the least condensed deep color to the more watery whips of color, these paints are a dream to work with. I’m surprised how often I reach for these paints over the others. If you’re not sure. Try their color dot card and you’ll see what I mean.
I will continue to add A.Gallo paints to my palette.

Inspired by the studies of manuscript painting techniques and a passion for the history of pigments, I began making my own paint nearly 10 years ago. This process of working with raw materials and traditional recipes has become integral to my own painting practice.
