How to steal like an artist (and get away with it)

Ever wondered how the best artists find their ideas and inspiration? What if I told you that originality was overrated and the key to creating fresh work is by doing the very thing you were always told not to. Stealing. In this video I take you on a cat-suit clad adventure and master class on creative inspiration, art history and painting... Now seriously, what more could you want? Enjoy!

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!

One of your most clever videos yet. It was delightful! I like your idea to "steal" from the greatest, more than one if need be, to create your own masterpiece. Yours was stunning.

Great topic Margo! 8:43 When we were lucky enough to visit Barcelona in 2010, we were also lucky enough to visit the Joan' Miro Museum located there. We loved it and enjoyed the many interactive exhibits. One of his more traditional works that caught my eye was his "Portrait of a Young Girl." and rendered so perfectly and just "cute." I bought a post card of it and have it tacked up on the wall in my stuffed to the gills walk-in closet. One of these days, I intend to do my own version of "Portrait of a Young Girl." As as art teacher once told me "just make it your own" 👍That's what I intend to do.
