MEEDEN Watercolor Supplies Honest Review – 5 Products Ranked After Real Studio Tests

MEEDEN sent me $178 worth of watercolor supplies and asked me for my honest opinion – even if I don’t like something. This video is not sponsored, but they did send the products, and there’s a 12% off code below. If you use it, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. In this video, I’m testing 5 MEEDEN products in real studio conditions to see what actually earns a place in my workflow and what I’d pass on: • Watercolor paper tested against my usual Baohong• Brushes compared to my Da Vinci mop brushes• Porcelain palette vs my metal and plastic palettes• Mixed-media sketchbook tried with watercolor and mixed techniques• Wooden brush washer tested for practicality at the desk You’ll see how each supply behaves with actual painting, not just swatches, and I’ll give a clear verdict for each: keep, pass, or “I’m conflicted.” I’ll also share where these could make sense in a budget-conscious watercolor setup – and where I think your money is better spent elsewhere. If you enjoy thoughtful, calm, classroom-style testing of art materials, you’re in the right place. ✍🏻 Blog: https://www.miwagardner.com/blog/meed... ⭐ PRODUCTS TESTED (from MEEDEN) • Large Brush Washer https://go.meedenart.com/3KAZp8a • Porcelain Palette (half-size; 33-well currently sold out) https://go.meedenart.com/3Mf7sIq • Watercolor Ceramic Brush Wash Bowl (mentioned but not tested) https://go.meedenart.com/4pO2OzI • Professional Watercolor Brush Set (I mistakenly said “set of 3”; it’s actually available as sets of 4 or 9) https://go.meedenart.com/48LTExP • MEEDEN Watercolor Paper Pad (16×12 HP) https://go.meedenart.com/4rCg1NG • Mixed Media Sketchbook (9×12) https://go.meedenart.com/4pkSoHU ⭐ OTHER MENTIONS • Letter Opener – https://amzn.to/41yz8ha • Fountain Pen – https://amzn.to/3ZH3A7i • Indigo Paint – https://amzn.to/4pFPM73 ⭐ 12% OFF MEEDEN CODE Use code: WHATIF ⭐ RELATED VIDEO I’ll be using some of these materials — especially the porcelain palette — in an upcoming Georgia O’Keeffe–inspired staining vs. non-staining watercolor study.
