Do you use the A. Gallo watercolors? I'd love to know how they work for you in your paintings!

I just recently started watercolors! Oh my do I go down the watercolor rabbit hole! Does activating the dot cards help with the urge to purchase them all? Thanks for the videos! ❤

@watercolorwanderingwithk 6 ай бұрын

LOL I think it helps curb what to purchase to be honest. There are quite a few, as I mention in the end, I won't purchase after seeing them.

As a dot card collector I'm soo tempted to get theirs! But I know I probably will never buy any of their paint 😅 thank you for sharing your dot card with us 🥰 and I wouldn't include the dot cards in the comparison videos just because and as you mentioned some of the dots are quite little so I don't think it would be a fair comparison

Yes, I will only be using the ones where there is enough paint to re-use. Dot cards, in ideal situations, should be used a few times so that you can paint -- not just swatch -- with the colors. The ones where I didn't get enough paint I will just not use in comparisons.

Thanks a lot, in this way you showed us how they swatch. I live in Italy but never bought A. Gallo (due to prices and I usually use tubes). I was wondering about buying a couple of colours and now I can really see how they are on paper. Thanks ❤

@watercolorwanderingwithk 6 ай бұрын

Yeah I do like tubes when companies have them for sure. These really aren't too bad, but there are some I would definitely NOT buy.

I’m back to watercoloring after a two month break! A. Gallo is one of five palettes I have on regular rotation. I enjoy using A. Gallo and use them without being precious about them, probably because I have other palettes to rotate with these 😁. Some of my half pans I purchased open stock but most of my half pans came from the sets, because it’s most cost effective. I have YIn Mn blue from the signature set, because the price of a single pan was too much for me! Some pigments are difficult, ie difficult to rewet or have a low pigment load, and need at least thirty seconds (I prefer one minute) after being activated with a drop of water (jarosite, dragon’s blood, rose madder, potter’s pink etc), which might be difficult on a dot card. However, even after a good soak some of the pigments still have a low pigment load eg PG 23 (I have green earth warm) and PR259 (ultramarine pink), because it’s the nature of the pigment itself. Some of the multi-pigments paints are wonderful on cold pressed watercolor paper and need more space and water to show the granulation to the full effect (eg, notturno and olive green deep), same with the single pigment colors like zirconium, ultramarine blue and YIn Mn blue, they need more space and water. ☺️

I do enjoy the paints but some were disappointing

Exactly how do these differ from prima marketing? Both use the same pigment mixes to get the end result at a fraction of the price. So what makes these non single pigment paints worthy o of the hype and price? Especially considering one could never recoop their cost. Even if they charged 2k per 5 x7 they'd still not recoop their expense.

So, just because a company uses the same pigments by no means means they are the same formula at all. Prima, for starters, isn't honey-based or handmade. These are. Prima also leaves out a lot of pigment information in their paints, so ones that they say are "single" are not. They don't have the same lightfast testing as these more artist-grade ones. A pigment can be used in 5 different brands, but the formula, how they are made, binders, and everything used to grind and blend all create something completely different.

@@watercolorwanderingwithk uh, you do realize there is no law which relates what is student and what is professional grade paints right? Some people want to call white nights professional, bedstead they are, while others want to call them academic because they are inexpensive. Prima do list their pigments. They are all over their website. Also, if a company doesn't list them you can ask. As for hand made, lmmfao. That's all I can say. Not trying to be mean.

@@phillipstroll7385 I think normally the most significant difference is in how much pigment is used. As an example, Winsor & Newton makes a “professional” grade and the more academic “Cotman” watercolor. The professional grade uses more pigment and less binder of filler than the other version, thus making it less expensive to produce. The other thing to watch for, and I have no idea if this applies to Prima or Art Philosophy paints, is the use of a synthetic filler to boost vividness. The other thing that sets apart “professional” is typically a focus on single, non-fugitive pigments. Though, I would expect many professional artists use and enjoy fugitive pigments. I can say that the A. Gallo colors are a dream to paint with. However, I have seen stunning paintings with Art Philosophy paints. Here is a link to someone who did a lightfast test with Prima/Art Philosophy paint. www.kimcrick.com/pages/prima-art-philosophy-watercolor-review-color-chart-swatch-cards-lightfast-test I say, use what makes you feel happy that suits the amount you want to spend.

If you like their aquarium winsor newton makes a better one for a fraction of the price

I will have to go look at my dot cards for them and compare the two for sure. Roman Szmal has something similar, but not the same name.
