The MEEDEN 151-piece painting set bundles two easels, 96 paints across oil, acrylic, watercolor and gouache, plus brushes, palettes, canvas and paper into one kit. The aluminum tripod easel packs into a carry bag for outdoor work, while the beechwood tabletop easel box has a drawer for supplies. It suits beginners and gift buyers who want to try several mediums without assembling a kit piece by piece. Against single-medium starter sets it offers far more range, though the paints are student-grade blends rather than single-pigment professional colors.

Buyers call it a complete starter kit that costs less than buying the pieces separately, and many give it as a gift. The paints are easy to work with, and the paper and canvas boards rate above average for a kit. Complaints focus on paint saturation and the tripod easel's canvas support.
This is a 151-piece painting kit that covers oil, acrylic, watercolor and gouache. It includes 96 paint colors in 22 ml tubes, brush sets for each medium, palettes, painting surfaces and drawing tools. The pigments are lab-formulated and updated from the MEEDEN Enthusiasts Series.
Two easels are included. The tripod easel is made of lightweight aluminum alloy. It is portable, weather-resistant and quick to set up, and it comes with a carriage bag. The tabletop easel is made of German beechwood and has a drawer, so it also stores art supplies.
