Thank you, it's really nice to see these colors in use, so much nicer than squinting at a tiny swatch in a catalogue! Gorgeous , can't wait to see them in a landscape.

That buff titanium looks amazing! I rarely use "whites" in watercolor, but this makes me want to try some!

I end up using it quite a bit, though of course it's pretty opaque.

Ditto. I appreciate how easy it is for you to match color swatches because of the way you've arranged them. Thank you for swatching for us. 😊 I did have a little trouble seeing some of the previous swatches due to glare on the clear protector. I so enjoy your channel, Helen. ❤

Thank you for sharing these with us it was very enjoyable! I have some of their paints and they're just so nice. I do wish I knew about these before I bought some d.s paints and other top brands. I think these are so nice and have so much character and that slight rosemary smell is just perfect its not too strong and just enough to get a scent of it here and there. I think the rosemary oil just helps me relax more while painting. Who would have thought. I think that if your able to afford some of these it's definitely worth trying. I think it's really great that they include other local businesses into their packaging and brushes. I actually think theyre quite affordable compared to top brands pigment load and the quality that you receive. You can select 12 pans and get a free tin and a brush or 24! No brand does that well that I'm aware of anyway. I hope you Have a great day. Btw what paper are you swatching on?
@helencryer Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes, I think their quality is beautiful, and I didn't know you could get a free tin and brush - I'm assuming that's if you buy directly from the company? I think I will always need a mixture of paint brands though, because I would miss the high dispersion of other paints, if I only had these. I'm using Canson XL Watercolour pads for my swatches xx

Thanks for making this video. I was tempted to buy a set. But after watching this, I think I'll just stay with Daniel Smith for most of my paint.

Dear Helen, thank you for answering my question. What I wanted to know is did you draw the sqaures yourself or did you buy them . Also you have round dots did you draw them by yourself or can you buy those sheets .I hope that I explained what I Mein understandebal for you. ( I am a nativ german speaker so please excuse ) very many greetings Christiane 😊

Hi Christiane, sorry I misunderstood! Yes - I drew out the squares myself on watercolour paper, and I made the sheets with the round paint swatches, myself too, from the other paints I own.

Dear Helen, thank you for sharing and showing the AGallo aquarell painting clour. They are beatiful. What I liked about your presentation Was the comparing of the other colours that you have. Great !

Buff titanium is one of the few a gallo colours that compares poorly to DS - it’s much cooler, more cement than stone coloured.
