ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Margot and I am a professional artist and graphic designer. My parents like to joke that I was born with a paintbrush in hand. I started my career after graduating from the renown Parsons School of Design in New York City and spent over 15 years creating and designing for many of the world's top Fortune 500 brands and companies. My painting journey started as a side project and a creative outlet for me to step away from the computer, go back to my "roots" in fine art and to hone my skills as an illustrator and painter. I started posting some of my work on instagram and the rest is history. My work is inspired by all the things that I am passionate about. Ballet, travel, graphic design, color and finding a world of beauty in all facets of everyday life. I hope you'll join me in this YouTube journey as I take you through all the tips, tricks and trade secrets I've gathered throughout the years. I hope I can teach you some of what I know, help you discover your creative voice and I hope you enjoy this Channel!

Putting the magnets inside the pans is my favorite one! So smart!

[marie]

Love the suggestion of using a stick for white paint. Very smart.

Margot- I started folllowing you at the 5k mark, now you're at almost 49k! Congrats!! Your art style is gorgeous, and I love the humor in your videos!! Keep 'em coming!

[BewitchCraft]

Wow, these were actually useful. My curiosity gets the better of me, I end up clicking a lot of these "hack" videos for art stuff and its frustratingly basic and NOT hacks. "Use water with watercolor!" Wow, who would have thought. The magnet INSIDE the paint pan is genius. I have the issue of them popping out of those tabs and having to re-sort them, the magnet is gonna be a game changer!

Oh I just had to have the swatch square punch out 🎉. I’m so tired 🥱 of having to paint new swatch cards for my palettes ❤

[selmag]

love the format!
when i first saw you put the magnet in the pan and then pour watercolour on top my first thought was "heresy!" in the most shocked and impressed way possible.

[matthiasaronjonsson]

Awesome! =) Always something new and exciting! The soap before masking fluid is an excellent hack :)

[jude]

Thank you! Mini magnets IN the pans, - *smacks forehead - so much for all the double sided adhesive magnet strip cutting! And several other tips too!

[karendirmish]

Again Margot, you are the greatest Teacher and I’ve learned so much from you these years watching you! Absolutely loved Hints! My favorite being the Soap Dish Brush Holder! That is on my shopping list! Thanks, Karen Dirmish, learner!

[dizzylizzy]

Great tips. Only two minutes of Margot though! I look forward to your videos. Thanks for these suggestions!

[macgurrl]

Awesome. Loved the idea of the white watercolour stick.

[mklarson]

Brilliant! I already use and love the soap dish brush holder, soap before masking fluid and carbon paper hacks. But how did I never think of just putting the magnet IN the pan, making modular palette swatches and using the phone for value studies! My art life just got so much easier- best spent two minutes ever!

[stroodledoodles]

I love those mini magnets!! I used them to make my own custom watercolor palette last year and they work so well, infact the ones I got were so strong it took some umph to pull them apart haha

[machelleshappyhobbies]

Thanks so much Margot. Have a great weekend.😊

[thejournalingbroom]

What book is that ? The one you opened to a flower page? 🌼

[JoyAloha]

In addition to the great ideas, I love the way you edited and presented it!

[kikijewell]

Beautifully made, fun to watch, actually useful video! Bravo!🎉

[rachelcrawford]

Thank you for these tips! The stick of white paint and the soap dish brush holder are the two I’m going to try first.

[nmurray]
