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!

I’m a little nervous to say but my family has been making paint since 1816 originally in Philadelphia. Its not artist paint but artists do use it. That’s 208 years now. I hate to toot my own horn but in all those years I’m the first lady to take the helm. We are Old Village Paint and we specialize in authentic historic Colours. And our Colours are highly pigmented for one coat coverage. That’s why artists can use them in their artwork. I’m learning how to paint with watercolors in my old age and love watching you.

Oh my heavens thank you for the incredible shout out!! And yes on alll the things lightfastness 😘😘😘😘

If you listen to those who mistakenly say you are long winded, you will lose an equal, if not greater number of us who adore your delightful dialogue with us, your faithful viewers who adore you! It makes you personable and brimming with personality. Stay true to your personality, Margot! Much love from this viewer—you remain my number one view for all things watercolor.

No, Margot, do NOT shut it! Your experience, your expertise, your perspective, your insights, your opinion... are all super valuable. We come to your channel precisely for them. Anyone who doesn't like it is free to browse other channels.
Nobody else in the whole world can voice your opinion, so please keep doing so at your leisure, and don't hold back. =)

Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words, I'm so happy you like my paint! I'm so thankful for the surge in orders I've received today thanks to your video! I'll try my best to have Advent 4 gold back in stock early next week

[renee]

You're not long winded. You are engaging and informative. Love your videos!

[stroodledoodles]

Another cool thing about Zest It is that they make a solvent (which is much safer compared to something like odourless mineral spirit) that blends coloured pencils, saves you so much time having to layer and burnish :)

I love your videos. Those who don't like things about your channel have freedom of choice to move on. Meantime I will be here appreciating you showing me things to improve my art. Thanks Margot. Have a great rest of your week.😊

Rosemary & Co is absolutely amazing! The quality, the deliver... everything. I adore their brushes.

[LCLand]

Well you said it. I will have to tell my husband we need to go support the local art store…it’s 30 minutes from us. But if we must we must!! Margot said so!!

[akschauer]

Every time I'm in my hometown I visit the local art store and purchase something. It's definitely one of my happy places.

[sonjadonovan]

What a GREAT list. I will check them out!
AND because I can no longer walk or stand for long since my "back surgery gone wrong" in 2020, I found a great local art shop, who has an online store as well, who even sells Roman Szmál watercolors (the owner is Polish himself). They even hand deliver my orders within the city and even to my 4th floor apartment, which is SO, SO SWEET. They will always have a special place in my heart ❤.

[kimberlycorliss]

Sometimes the small shops have unique items that give me a chance to expand my creativity.

[stephanieeggen]

Margot, you are just fun to watch. You are a woman owned business that sells great ideas and information wrapped in a joyful countenance. Bless you.

[mafurock]

Fluorescent yellow is one of the best things you can add to your palette!

[joannrabideau]

Hi Margot there is nothing better than going to a local art store and being able to touch and feel the supplies!! And I have several of Arts to Embers palettes and they are amazing. Thanks for another great video❤️

[elizabeththompson]

I’m fortunate to live near three Blicks locations. And they all know my face. When I can’t find something there, like handmade paints, then my next stop is Etsy. Excellent information here, thank you.

[MsMoniqueWilson]

Great finds - thank you! And yes to supporting local art shops and small businesses. And BTW...you are perfectly winded :)

Rochester Art Supply in Rochester, NY is a delicious example of a top-flight independent treasure trove. Head over now and catch the Lilac Festival in full swing😊

[Vinnetto]

I love your breathy elaborations you don’t talk to much. The way you present the information is just as much a reason I watch you as your art itself.
