    Thank you for this review, and I appreciate your honest opinion on any art material that you work with! I love Meeden's sundries especially their ceramic palettes, of which I own several, but given that I already own a plethora of artist and student-grade watercolors, I wouldn't have been interested in their selection. I think that companies need to realize that the watercolor paint market is saturated and we don't need more paints, least of all low-quality paints. I wish that companies like Meeden, who are already doing very well with the ancillary products would lean into this part of the market. There is a type of travel palette that doesn't exist, but I wish I had the capitol to create it, and a company like Meeden is financially positioned to do so. Therefore, I wish they would innovate in this space rather than try to branch into the paint market.

    Meeden 100 percent cotton paper is awesome. I used with Schminke paints and the colours stood out. The ceramic pallets are great. Their paints are mediocre.

    I ordered a pack of three of those MEEDEN ceramic mixing plates from Canadian Amazon for about $20. None of them were chipped . My experience has been excellent. I think the value was excellent. I've seen far cheaper, less useful *single* mixing plates from mainstream Canadian art shops for nearly the same price point of $20.

    Seems like it could be a nice package for someone who doesn’t want to figure out everything they need and just want to get started quickly. I have never tried their paints / brushes / paper and I already have my favourites in each of those categories 😊. However, I have tried Meeden ceramic palettes and metal travel palettes and I do really like their palettes. I ordered multiple shapes / sizes of their ceramic palettes because I like them so much. I think you gave an excellent review!

    I think you’re absolutely right it’s definitely got brightness in it or die or both. And I find most student grade water collars don’t granulate at all because they’re synthetic

    Absolutely loved Video and your way of teaching! I was interested in Meeden watercolors, I would purchase some but not the paint set, I’ve been painting for a while and have favorite brushes and colors. I’m interested in beautiful purples and greens, and understand when you said they all didn’t play well with others. Learned while watching you on your swatch sheet with doodles underneath! I will steal this part! I will go back and do this with my paints! Bet Tip Ever! Thank you for sharing your brilliance with me, Karen Dirmish

    Thanks to Becca Hillburn a youtuber who reviews cheep art supplies, I learned that if a volor doesn't granulate it's probably dye based. Also I think meeden and baohong are from the same company, because I noticed that sometimes baohong is listed as meeden watercolor paper which was really confusing until another artist pointed out that they might be from the same company. It's nice to know though that they offer cheep nice paper, many would claim that their paper is either watercolor paper or 100% but it's just a nightmare to paint on 😅 and I think py1 is not usually used because it's not a lightfast color.

    Thanks for the review. It's really helpful in its frankness. It does seem really good value, especially if you're starting out. But once you're using quality products, like DS and Schminke, I find you don't look back. I can't tell you how many sets I no longer use!

    Meeden 100% watercolor paper is actually made by Baohong. It's really nice. And inexpensive.
    I love Meedens' ceramic pallets. I have a few, but want more. You can never have too many! My favorites are the square ones with 12 wells and a lid for mixing. They're nice for the studio and don't take up a lot of space on my table. 😁❤️

    Heh you finally discovered the real magic of the cotton paper - it fixes your mistakes and the less good paint! I'm not impressed by those pigments either - PO13? PR21? Those are dyes. PY1 is super fugitive. I love the Meeden palettes -- tin, porcelain, plastic, I like everything I've bought. But I'll stay away from the paint! Brilliant purple definitely has a flourescing agent in it -- it's supposedly PV23+ white but that would be a pastel and it's actually a redder purple.
