My wife bought me a small all in one set from an art store 2 years before covid... it just sat there..... once the wave started, I opened it up and went to town... that little box meant for teens got me going, I now have a small basement studio
I have that exact French Easel and paid nearly $200.00 for that alone and it was on sale (Blicks). That is an awesome deal, especially in the US. I also recently got a set of their brushes to take me over the free shipping limit. I love them. The tips are so sharp! I'm really liking them as an art supply company. I haven't used any of their paints, but their paper, brushes and ceramic palettes are very good. I want to get this for my granddaughter when she's a bit older. I already have her painting with real acrylic paints and watercolor. She's actually very good at it. I bought a silicone mat that fits over my kitchen dinette table and she has an art apron. No messes. In the summer we paint outside. She's five. Lol. Budding artist.
THAT was quite the bundle you just unboxed! I homeschooled my four kids and we did LOTS of art projects for all different subjects - I for SURE would have looked into this...the price here in the US seems incredible for what you get, considering the quality. I must say - how "cool" Meeden continues to send you things (for free!) to review - how exciting to get a package like this! This is a testament to you and your loyal followers who value your opinion - I suspect you are probably very lucrative to Meeden...I bet they have had many sales to people using your discount code! A mutually beneficial arrangement!❤
I cannot lie… I love free stuff. But I try to be honest in my reviews. Meeden is not the best of the best in the world, but they do offer good quality at really good prices. You home schooled? You must be patient!
I have no doubt you are very honest! You always point out the good AND the maybe not quite up to par! That probably also helps Meeden to refine their products! Yes on the homeschooling - 4 kids! Ummm...sure, I was very patient!😁🤣(No need to check with my kids HAHAHAHA! Let's just leave it at that! 😃🤗)@@LizChadertonArt
Fabulous!! The price difference between here and the US seems more than a little unfair…😢 You’re so right about it making a wonderful gift to someone who is very keen to try painting, but are not necessarily sure just what medium they like best. That French easel is utterly gorgeous. I wouldn’t bother going out and about with it, but it would be great for a studio where you often have to move things about depending upon what you are painting. It is relatively compact for when not in use. I love Meeden ceramic palettes and their twin ceramic water pot too. Watercolour paper is also good, and for cotton, it is a great price. I believe it is identical to Boahong which is lovely paper. 🎨👩🏻🎨🖌️🏴
I have a French easel but I think I like this one better. It seems more versatile than mine. More compartments. Nice color wheel. A variety of paints…. etc! Boy, this kit contains a LOT! Nice presentation. 🍃🌸🍃 INCREDIBLE PRICE! WOW! I figured it would be around $500.
This is a great set! It's nice to see one with a bit of everything in it, too. As for the oil paints, my dad gave me my very first set of oils when I was 7! He showed me how to paint with them because they are thicker and a bit sticky to use to begin with, how to clean up (safely!), and then left me to play with it. I mostly use oils to make monoprints but it'd be nice to try painting with them again soon.
@@LizChadertonArt I was one of those children who was one of those weird quiet ones and not into anything other than art, music, and theatre. My dad was an artist, too.
What a fantastic set and what a wonderful presentation! I was shocked to hear someone would give oil paints and acrylics to a 6 year old .. besides the mess, they are not the safest ones, but it of course depends on a child. I wouldn't though. Medeen would totally up their game if asked you to compile a short course how to use all this stuff! I 've been in and out of making art for years and my head is spinning, looking at all these wonderful things! Imagine the impact on a person, who is just starting! Lovely video, as always! 🍀
Whoa 🤯 that’s a huge painting kit! Definitely sounds like a great deal for the price with all of those mediums of art supplies including a French Easel. I would love 💕 to have found it when I was beginning my art journey years ago too. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information & review with us.
WOW! I really like the art kit (I was sold on Meeden when I first found them about 5-6 years ago...they got my legs back under me with watercolor as I had stopped using it decades ago!) but, may I say, I adore your conservatory room! The views out look amazing.
we have just reclaimed the conservatory. until recently it had a ramble tennis table in it for the kids but now it is a grown up dining room and I’m not allowed to paint in it!
That's such a neat set! Do you know if the oil paints are regular oil paints, or water mixable oils? Water mixable feels like it would fit best with the other paints in the set. Either way, I find giving this to a 6 year old could be asking for a headache!

From small acorns, mighty oaks grow…More power to your paint brush!
Thank you for this video! I wasn’t sure if I was going to get it but now,I am!
Glad I could help! it is huge!

that would be an amazing gift, but the best gift is spending time with her and inspiring her love of art, like you already are 🥰
What an amazing set. It’s. Studio in a box
yes! such a great set for tge undecided but enthusiastic artist!

I really have been impressed with Meeden and their ceramic palette range is wonderful!

it is very good value for money and I really like Meeden. They seem to listen to feedback from customers. What a novel idea!
My favorite part of this review is that awesome sweater yer wearin' !!! 🏅🏅🏅
I had to double check which one. It’s from our local thrift shop!

Woo! That sounds amazing, but your dad was a braver fellow than me 😆

Not weird in any shape or form@@tonispencer5149
That would be an awesome place for a studio. All that gorgeous natural light.
It gets far better light than my actually studio!
I love meeden ❤
I love their ceramic palettes!
What a fantastic set and what a wonderful presentation!

Lovely video, as always! 🍀
I was pretty relaxed with my kids, but made sure things were washable! That would be a fun project. I haven’t used oils much….
What a great introductory set for someone who wants to play around or mix media art ❤or as you suggested for a retirement gift! What a great idea.
you really are spoilt for choice!

I would have been so excited too!
Great review. I have a couple of the small Meeden ceramic palettes, I love them.
Their palettes are what first drew my attention. I love them too.
What a bumper set! So comprehensive!
It really is!

@@LizChadertonArt I get sponsors this company Videos
I would have loved to have seen a review on the quality
I have done a detailed review of the watercolour here ruclips.net/video/TplJYtaStO4/видео.html
That's such a neat set! Do you know if the oil paints are regular oil paints, or water mixable oils? Water mixable feels like it would fit best with the other paints in the set. Either way, I find giving this to a 6 year old could be asking for a headache!
The oils are oil based not water mixable. A six year old!!
does better in 9 seconds then my whole life lol
☺️
Thank you for a really good review of the products Liz. I would love it all, but where would I store it? My wife would have a dicky fit!
good point! 😆
