Good comparison but on the MEEDEN paper you can see that you used a great deal more water with the Daniel smith paint than you did with the MEEDEN. I would love to see someone actually measure the water, amount of paint and size of area properly in a comparison because there’s always some big differences with amount of water etc

How do these layer over watercolor? I want to try these for texture over watercolor or sum kind of mixed media and I just don’t want to lose the watercolor while using these!

Thanks for sharing this information! Wonderful color mixing!

Love this, I'm trying to mix more of my colours and happy to see green gold. Thank you. A tip from me to you: You can open the tube at the bottom and still use the paint left inside. It won't matter if it dries out, still works great. I usually seal bottom with tape and keep the tube in a sealable bag or wrap in foil. Can also make slit at top of tubes that dry out.

patiently

Love this! Watched it again. Might try to paint it Thanks!

Composition is so important! Thanks for sharing this book with us.

Amazon had one copy. Sorry friends, I ordered it. 😢😮 thirift books has it as well.

So informative.

Thanks, Jill. Which Stillman & Birn sketchbook series are you using?

Just found this video - I am grateful to 'hike' the South Rim trail with you on my laptop. It was difficult for me to even watch several points where trail slanted so close to the edge. Beautiful scenery, and just loved the closeup of the flowers along the way

just had to sit and watch this again - it makes me smile and my heart sings to see the magical beauty evolve as you move the brush.

This works so well! Thank you for lightening my load🥰🥰

Very helpful!

This is very helpful!

Wow! Absolutely beautiful!

Just love this Jill.

this fun and amazing demo popped up as i finished watching one of your prairie storm lessons in the membership....

Magical! ✨

I'm a beginner, so for me it's all about putting in the hours and the $$$ to get there. DS... $10- $15 a tube, Meeden $1/tube. ❤😂 I really appreciate the analysis. It helps me to see what I'm looking at.❤

Very interesting. I really appreciate that you examined the differences in such detail.

I love my Meeden watercolor! It was my first step up from watercolor that had no pigment information. Because of the price, I felt free to make huge juicy puddles of watercolor. As a beginner they have been great for 'follow alongs', practic/ exercises, and cards. It's really amazing how bright the colors stay when the paint is dry. Thank you so much for a critical analysis of the paints and the papers. It's helpful and I appreciate it. ❤😊

Good to know!

I’ve recently been using hot press more frequently. I’m liking it. I use Arches.

Interesting. Thank you!

Thanks Jill!

Thank you for this. I don't want to haul tripod and easel, so your minimal set up is quite a delight. I do take along a light weight stadium seat that supports my back so I can sit almost anywhere.

Omg this is perfect, exactly what I was looking for! I’m already halfway there with how I do my stuff I’ve just never known before how easy it is to just smash it all on a clipboard! And clipping the towel to the backside? Genius. I love both these setups 100% (also I do have multiple little tin and altoid to go palettes haha, I’m actually wondering what I could put on the inside lids to get a smooth white waterproof surface for blending though… like a white paint and some kind of resin or spray coating/modpodge overtop?)

Omg!!! I love your technique for the dark forest. Im currently struggling because Im not sure how to start my faeries and firefly dark forest painting. In learned many techniques from your video that will help me

I’m a retired engineer newbie at sketching, I found this very efficient, simple and doable. Super idea. I saw someone’s suggestion to have a sock cuff on your wrist when using the “ultra small” setup. All good. Only thing missing is a spot for coffee ha ha

Nice to see some set ups that are different from others.Thank you for some ideas.I hadn't thought of. I also love the comment that said a cut off sock on your wrist for a wipe. Nice channel thank you

Thanks! What hue is the titanium grey in reality? It looks quite a warm neutral green on my screen, like my Cotman raw umber(great for limestone/rocks), but I know screens skew colour a lot.

Thanks!❤
