Meeden Porcelain Watercolor Palette - Getting Started in Watercolor

- In this video, I review the Meeden Heavy Duty Studio Porcelain Watercolor Palette. I provide an overview of the features of the palette and compare it to the more expensive Stephen Quiller porcelain palette that I use in my studio. #porcelianpalette #watercolor #meeden
The advantages of porcelain palettes are 1) a smooth mixing surface 2) bright white surface 3) non-staining surface 4) deep wells, 5) smooth edges 6) resistance to paint beading/contracting and 7) heavy duty materials.
This affordable Meeden palette is similar to the more expensive Quiller palette in some features. Overall the Quiller palette is larger. It has a bigger mixing area and larger wells. The Quiller palette has 32 wells. The Meeden palette has 17 wells.

I bought that Meeden pallet last year and haven’t used it. I did order the round Meeden similar to your Quiller ($49CDN), and waiting for it to be delivered today. Thank you for your reviews. Very helpful!!
Ah...great choice. I prefer my round one. However I use this rectangular palette as a back up. :-)
I like the Meeden porcelain palettes, too. Great value. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome
Just ordered mine for my 7 year old who is just starting water colors :) thank you
Wow. What a great gift. You're getting them started on a lifetime of making art. Way to go!!
I use white bathroom tiles for mixing ;-)
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Meeden now has a steven quiller look alike pallete on Amazon, I got it on sale for $46 dollars Canadian
I've subscribed and waving hello 👋
HELLO! :-) Welcome to the channel. Thanks for mentioning this. Yes. The price of these porcelain palettes continues to fall. I'm confident of the quality of this Meeden one, because I own one. Of course, if the price is too low, I might start to suspect the quality. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
Very interesting video and beautiful work. Compliment! Go up and never stop!
Thanks for the encouragement. Have a great day!!
I bought this palette early on but I also bought the giant Stephen quiller one. Both have paints in them permanently 😄☺️😝
I hear you. I think the main reason I buy additional palettes, is because I get extra paint and need a place to put it.
😢😢😮😮😮
Thanks for leaving feedback
Hi Kris. Here's a tough question, but if you could only have one palette, which one would you choose?
Actually, it is an easy answer for me. I love the Stephen Quiller palette. It is my #1. I like the circle layout, I like the big wells. I like the overall size.
Definitely Stephen quiller. So big.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio Meeden make their own version of the large round palette in addition to the one you reviewed here. It doesn't come with a cover either, but it is also around 1/4 of the price of the Quiller palette so I'm sure someone could source an alternative cover with the difference. Each well apparently can hold a full 7ml tube. If the porcelain quality is the same as you suggest then the less expensive version is a great deal.
Hi! Thanks so much for the information. Good to know.
Is a porcelain palette supposed to hold paints for a long time, or do you just fill enough paint for a session? I'm asking because I've seen many artists fill paint to the edge in each pan of a palette, but that seems to only apply to tin or plastic palette.
Hi Trang. I fill the wells of my porcelain palette, cover it when not in use, and rewet the colors when I start painting. Because I use good quality watercolor paints, the paints re-activate very quickly. I have other videos showing how I fill my other porcelain palettes. You could check those out - ua-cam.com/video/ecdtJoP7CPs/v-deo.html
@@KrisDeBruineStudio Than you for the tips.
How to cover porcelain palettes when you want them to store? I don't want to keep my palettes open inside my drawer or in my bag.
Great questions. My Quiller palette comes with a cover. I spray the paint every time I begin and when I finish painting and then cover the paint until the next time I use it. This keeps it moist and ready to go. My porcelain palettes are used exclusively in my studio, so I don't put them in a bag. They can be quite heavy and difficult to travel with. If you need a travel palette I would suggest this palette instead - ua-cam.com/video/Zp1YaqfqaBo/v-deo.html
I cover my porcelain palette with a towel, which would then be used to clean brushes in painting sessions. This way, I have everything in place for painting. Alternatively, you could use another ceramic plate that's slightly larger than your palette to cover it, and to offer more mixing area 😀. I'd never put a ceramic palette in a bag. A practical ceramic palette for travel doesn't exist on the market yet..
I use the Quiller porcelain palette which comes with a cover which I always use. But these are great ideas too. Thanks!
I use cling film. It sticks to the ceramic and seals well.
@@loripage5477 Great idea. Thanks for sharing Lori
I have the largeMeeden with 36 wells
Thanks for sharing Robert. How do you like it??
@@KrisDeBruineStudio porcelain is the only way to go and after a porcelain palette, I don’t get why anyone wants plastic🥇🥰👍🏻
@@robertweinblatt2018 I completely agree with you. Happy painting!!
