Hey friends! In this video I finally get to take that dreamy MEEDEN premium artist-grade watercolor set out into the real world. Meeden gifted us this wooden travel palette (this video is not sponsored), and I’ve been eyeing it for ages—so we pack it up and head to the Dallas Arboretum for a little plein air painting day. The big star is the luxury black walnut case and the 27-color collection, which is very much giving “treat yourself” energy, but still meant to be used. I walk you through what it’s like painting on-location with this set: how the colors behave when you’re actually trying to capture what you see, how easy it is to work straight from the pans, and why a well-built travel setup matters when you’re outside juggling wind, water, and vibes. If you’re curious whether a premium wooden watercolor box is just pretty or actually practical, this is a real-use test—swatching is fun, but painting in the arboretum tells you the truth.
