What to know about shopping at MEEDEN

MEEDEN covers the whole span from first set to working studio, and the paint range is the clearest illustration. The same colors are sold in ordinary tubes, in boxed sets, and in 1L bottles intended for people who go through a color fast enough to buy it by volume. Acrylic, oil, watercolor and gouache are all represented. If you are painting occasionally, the tubes and sets are the sensible entry; the 1L bottles only make sense once you know which colors you actually exhaust.

Easels are the other decision, and they are easier to choose by the space than by the specification. A tabletop easel suits a shared dining table you have to clear afterward. A French sketch box folds up and carries, so it fits anyone painting away from home. An H-frame studio easel is the sturdiest of the three and the least portable, which only pays off if the work stays set up between sessions.

Around those sit brush sets, stretched canvas and paper pads, markers and drawing pencils. The studio furniture is worth a look if you are past the beginner stage — taborets give you storage within reach of the easel, and the adjustable drafting table tilts for drawing and flattens for everything else. Boxed art sets are the store’s natural gift purchase, since they arrive complete rather than needing you to pick the supporting materials yourself.

On savings, a sitewide code takes 10% off with no restrictions stated, so it applies whether you are buying a single tube or an easel and a full set of paints. Because it carries no minimum, there is no advantage in padding an order to qualify — but there is also nothing lost in putting one larger order through it rather than several small ones.
