Meeden 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper Review 

Yeah, He does stuff like that. Glad to be a part of it. I appreciate you! 🙂

Thank you Kim! I appreciate you. 🙂

I literally was just going to say the same thing.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. On their site they have free shipping over $40 with the 10% off but it's only worth it if you are going to spend that kind of money. 👍🏻

I noticed that Meeden brought out their paper at around the same time that Baohong stopped selling their academy range. I loved the Baohong Academy paper, so I'm glad we can still get it under the Meeden name.

Your sandwich story made me think of a phrase we use: "Water is never wet enough for (name)!"

😂 That works!

I agree. People like him more. 😂

I love that the hot press isn't so delicate compared with some others. Sometimes it's better to walk away if you can. People are strange creatures. I'm glad you can stay happy. I appreciate you, Denise! 🙂

Thank you! I will continue to do videos like this. I appreciate you. 🙂

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy these. Yes, I have a small sketchbook where I do mini drawings and paintings. They are quick when I don't have a lot of time.👍🏻

Thank you! I'm glad I'm good company. 🙂 I appreciate you!

Thank you, Jade! I always do. 🙂

Welcome to the channel! There's a great community here. 🙂

Thank you! I need to make that video. I appreciate you. 🙂

Thank you! I appreciate you so much. I'll do my best to continue to entertain. Thanks for the input. 🙂

Good to know. I may need to give it a try. Thanks! 👍🏻

I will be using them a lot more. I didn't know how good it was. Thanks Laura!

Monday's video is all mixed colors as I learn a new palette. I'll need to do a video with more detail on the subject. Thank you for the suggestion! 👍🏻

Thank you Linda! That first one was my favorite. I like that name, it fits! 😂 I always appreciate you and I'm glad you enjoyed this. 🙂

Welcome to the channel. I tend to do that a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻

They are very affordable and they work great. 👍🏻

Thank you. I appreciate you! 🙂

Thank you for sharing! Sorry to hear that. Second time is a charm. 🙂

Thank you! I appreciate you. I don't think you'll regret it. This may be my go-to paper moving forward. 👍🏻

Thank you! This is probably going to become my go-to paper. I don't think I have anything that works better, including Arches. 👍🏻

It is really good. 🙂

Jim Henson would be proud. 😂🤣 I'm glad I have helped. I make sure I'm as honest and fair as I can be when I use something. I don't want anyone to think I'm just making everything sound good if it isn't. This paper is very good. I might take that phrase from you but I'll give you credit for it. 😂

Thanks Eugen. I agree. People need to get over themselves.

Glad I could make you smile. 🙂

They make some great products. I think their palettes are wonderful. 👍🏻🙂

I am not familiar with that paper. I'll add it to my list. Thanks. You might want to go to the Meeden site. They are running a 15% off sale if you buy 2 items. I don't know if the paper is included in that but you can at least use my promo code PETE10 to get 10% off. Hopefully that helps.

I have heard mixed reviews about their paint but this paper is definitely top quality. Thank you! 🙂

never buy meeden watercolour they all suck they are definitely an oil paint company.

ha. I just did - I sent them an email to say well done. hopefully it makes someone's day to receive a customer compliment rather than a customer complaint :)

I'm sure they like to get those types of emails over the complaining ones. It's always nice to hear what someone thinks you are doing a good job. 👍🏻🙂

Thank you! I love all of you as well. 🙂

That's the truth. 👍🏻

That's the best way to look at it. 🙂

Thank you! Fluid 100 does tear with tape and masking fluid but I still enjoy using it. The hot press from them is the one that holds onto the paint and doesn't lift as easily but I use that when I need to glaze. I hear you about people. People can be strange.

I'm not sure how big they go. I saw some 9x12 blocks, but I'm not sure if they go larger. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂

I just checked, and it appears they do not have 15 x 10 in hotpress, the largest hotpress is 9 x 12. very disappointing.

@paintingtheskykingdom9005 Oh that stinks. It never occurred to me to check that because 9x12 is the largest I use. Maybe they'll start if enough people ask for it. I'll add my name to that list. 👍🏻

@@IllustrationsByPete +YES, i MIGHT BE MORE OF AN ILLUSTRATOR, BECAUSE i ALWAYS AdD PEOPLE AND ANIMALS TO MY PAINTINGS AND IT GETS DIFFICULT GOING SMALLER. (MY CAPS were on by accident!)

That's ok, I don't mind being yelled at. 😂 I don't think there's much of a difference between an illustrator and an artist. All illustrators are artists but all artists illustrate an idea. I think commercial illustration is a profession some artists have but I don't like to put people in that small of a box to say some work is an illustration and other work is art. 🤔

I've been using their hot press for pencil & watercolour mixed media artwork a lot recently and it has more of a texture than other hot press papers - it's almost in between other brands' hot press and cold press (it's "hot & cold" press, haha). I actually loooove it for pencil because I enjoy some of the texture showing, particularly when layering different colours.

That is something I need to try. I'll do a video of that soon. 👍🏻 I would also like to try out the easel. 😂

Yes! I have a few favorites that I never use. I'll go into it more in a video. I think I go into it a little in the next video when I answer someone's question. 👍🏻 That's a true statement! I might need to steal that from you. 😂

This paper was great! They have a good reputation in my book. 👍🏻

@@IllustrationsByPete totally agree!

Curiouser and curiouser. 🤔

I like it! 🙂

Thanks for the info. 👍🏻

I will definitely do more of that. I tried to kick back but then you hear my chair creaking during the whole thing. 😂

No. I don't do talking points. It wasn't a sponsored video, they just asked me what I wanted to try out. Everything I said is what I truly think. Everyone needs to advertise. You can make the best stuff in the world but if no one knows it then you're still broke. Giving a product to a RU-vidr is the cheapest advertising there is. More companies should do it. It's a lot cheaper than a $30k commercial that's for sure. If I was a manufacturer I would do it. To each their own.

I see your confusion and I used to think that was true also, but it's not entirely true. I was not paid for this video because I was not required to make the video in exchange for the product. I have received products from companies before that I did not make videos for because I felt the products did not fit my audience and it was not worth my time to use it. I also have no problem giving bad reviews. Strictly from a business perspective, and most RU-vidrs should know this, it is better financially to give honest reviews than it does positive reviews. Your audience is the reason you can make money on RU-vid. Without them, you are not worth anything to advertisers. If you constantly give everything positive reviews when they don't deserve it then your audience stops trusting you and they go away. That's a much bigger loss than missing out on a new set of pens. So it actually pays to be honest with your reviews. Just look at my last video on the markers. I pointed out all the things I thought were bad about them. The company might not like that and they may never send me another product but that isn't the focus so it doesn't matter. Lastly, RU-vidrs are paid to make content. There are plenty of RU-vid channels that do not do product reviews that still get AdSense. Most of my videos are not product reviews. I just do them when I think it will be helpful information for my audience. I also have patrons and they do pay me to create content. So, when people say they aren't paid to do a review it means they have not accepted physical money, there is no obligation to make the video, and they have no agreement with any company to say or do certain things for the products they received. 👍🏻

Oh look, I found the guy that complains about everything and spends all their energy being negative lol. Three comments in one video bro??? Do you stalk every art youtuber to spam their review videos with this same chip on your shoulder?? Bless your soul, man, sounds like you could take a break from the internet.
