Made by hand in Assisi, our watercolors are crafted according to a traditional recipe of raw pigments, gum arabic, local honey, rosemary essential oil and a wetting agent. This artisanal process creates a very pigmented and luminous paint that activates beautifully when wet.
A. Gallo Colors are 100% handmade. Pans may contain small imperfections like tiny bubbles and minor blemishes. This does not affect the quality of the paint and is a sign of the human touch that goes into making each and every unique pan!
Half pans present a choking hazard and are not intended for use by children. Please also keep out of reach of pets. A. Gallo Colors are all cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury free.


I've had my eye on these watercolors for two years now, watching any of the reviews I could find, and I am so excited to say that these are truly made with love. The colour's, the aromatic smell of rosemary and honey and the presentation is outstanding! Well done A. Gallo.
I discovered A.Gallo from watching artists videos on YouTube, so of course I had to try them out for myself. I am so glad I did! I fell in love at the first swatch! These paints are simply amazing! They re-wet very easily with high pigment load, the colors remain vibrant after drying, and they do have a subtitle heavenly smell when wet. The packaging alone is a treat! So much care and effort is put into it! It is worth every single penny! I ended up purchasing all the colors and I’m very happy with it!
They are absolutely gorgeous. Highly pigmented. The watercolor paper they send for swatches is high end. I just love swatching new palettes and this does not disappoint. I saved and waited quite awhile to get this. Well worth the wait!!
Vibrant smooth colours, a joy to use
A fabulous set of colours. Cannot wait to use them.
A word of warning to purchasers outside the EU. The Brexit benefit of being in the UK was an import/VAT charge of £74.73 on top of £294.80 for the paints (Euro 89.67). Gallo do highlight that costs exclude taxes, so no complaint there.
Would I have paid 443.33 in Euros in total had I known. Probably, but I may have pondered longer.
