Swatching A. Gallo's Naturale 36 watercolour paint set

- I received a set of A.Gallo's Naturale 36 watercolour paints as a Christmas gift last year and I think it's time to swatch them. 🙂
This set is a "complete collection of exquisite earth, mineral and plant based pigments from the Mediterranean basin to the forests of Sumatra, from the mountains of Chile to the volcanos of Iceland" (www.agallocolors.com/shop/nat....
A.Gallo added new paints to their range in 2023 and 12 of them are included in this set. They are: cinabro hue, lilac, Han purple, azurite hue, malachite hue, Victoria green, stil de grain (light), orange iron oxide, English red, Icelandic red earth, Van Dyck brown and tourmaline.
11 of these paints (buff titanium, potter's pink, zirconium blue, lapis lazuli, copper blue, green gold, gold ochre, raw sienna (Badia), ercolano red, morellone and slate grey) are also included in A. Gallo's collection 48 set (it used to be called the classic set).
Stil de grain is made using buckthorn berries and the paint has almost a paste-like texture, this paint will appreciate more water than standard watercolour paints).
Orange iron oxide was a surprise to me. It's made using PR102, and in my experience, the colour of this pigment usually is dark red brown (like caput mortuum). This particular PR102 is orange brown as the name suggests and quite granulating.
I noticed that the paints were quite dusty after I opened them which is what I also noticed when opening the 48 paint set. It's not a big deal, just means that a layer of paint needs to be rinsed off to avoid dust on the paper.
I hope you enjoy the video 🙂

Thank YOU 😊
Lovely! How nice to see so much variation in similar natural pigments. That Potter’s Pink seems more saturated than many, would you say so? ❤
I have a few Potter’s pink paints from different brands and I would say that A.Gallo’s version isn’t more saturated, it’s softer, maybe even dreamier than others. I usually pre-wet the paints around 10 minutes before using them which helps to get closer to the masstone of the paint 🙂 Thank you for watching ❤️
Gorgeous! One and all. 😍
They are stunning 😊
Hi Tracy! Glad to be seeing you more often 😊.

Simply beautiful, I have the same one too. ❤️
They are beautiful paints. Thank you for watching 😊
Green Earth Cool looks very strong for a PG23.
I agree :) I usually pre-wet the paints before using them so it would have been around 15-20 minutes before I got to swatch this particular green earth. However, just to make sure I added 5 drops of water to the paint today planning to test it in 15 minutes. I remembered about it 2 hours later and I can confirm that the colour is accurate - the paint also felt like gouache so this particular PG23 definitely likes a bit of soaking in water. I'll post a photo in Community just so you can see the results of my experiment. :)
