ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Margot and I am an artist and graphic designer. I started my career and spent over 15 years in New York City as a professional branding and consumer packaged goods designer for many of the world's top Fortune 50 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.

Your channel has become my favorite art channel. I am in the process of trying to rediscover my creative side and this was so helpful. Thank you!
Love this talk!! I definitely struggle with perfectionism somewhat and I find that I produce better work when I'm relaxed... Love the ending bloopers 😂 made me laugh
I feel you on the perfectionist train. It’s hard to let go. Ironically, it takes so much discipline to NOT be a perfectionist 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!
Bravo! Excellent video I love these ideas! I need to improve my drawing so every morning first thing I read my Bible and meditate on wonderful scriptures but I also use a unique tool called the Christian planner which is a planner and creative goal and habit tracker all in one. Every week I have a theme for drawing and I draw that little item in the planner each day. So a few weeks ago it was my husbands birthday so I drew cakes all that week. And colored them with colored pencils. In December one week was nutcrackers. Then trees. Daffodils. Flowers. Currently teapots. It’s been so helpful to have the task. And now I will integrate your ideas into my week!
Also for anyone who reads the Bible do yourself a treat and get the beautiful word coloring bible. Lots of places to color and draw your own pictures too! 💕
Very good ideas. It’s so difficult not to be goal driven when one is painting.
I agree! It’s a habit we all have unfortunately but letting go of it can set you free and pave the way for some amazing new discoveries!
Excellent work ! Great suggestions and your talent is great !
14:44 😂😂 OMG! That is adorable!
Margot I’m 2 years into my watercolor journey I find it so relaxing but I’m a bit of a type A person and have found it difficult to find what my passion is. I can tell you it’s not landscapes😅 but after this video I followed your advice and I was able to identify what I like and why and the best part I’m not bad at it!! So thank you so very much
Wonderful anecdote, awesome advice, but the bloopers with “yeah” hahaha. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Glad that it resonated with you! Thanks for watching! 🙏
I just took a screenshot of the left half of the video for my own inspiration library. The reflection in the glass reminds me of oil or acrylic strokes. 👏
I've been watching several of your videos in the last few days and I found all of them very useful, but this one was really inspirational, especially the part about "letting go of perfectionism".
Thanks for it!
These are fantastic tips, Margot - many thanks for sharing them. I particularly loved the story about your art school teacher - really gives food for thought!
My high school art teacher had us remove and throw away our black paint on the first day of watercolor painting class❤
We are so proud of you Margot
You are such a great person
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awww thank you so much! 🙏💕
@@Pointebrush ❤️❤️❤️
I'm a new to watercolor student and you are reading my mind. I'm so afraid of not being any good (which how can I be if I'm new) and just wasting my precious supplies that I'm immobilized to the point of not even trying. Thank you so much for your expert advice. I'm new to your channel too and am devouring your prior episodes and getting so much out of your instruction. You're what I want to grow up to be someday (I'm 68 by the way). Now I'm going to replay this episode again and put into practice everything you said. Thank you so much from a frustrated artist wanna be. ❤❤❤
This makes me so happy Paula! Welcome to my channel and I hope I can continue to help you along in your journey. Please never call yourself that. You make art, therefore you are an artist. Simple as that. And guess what? I have never yet met an artist who didn’t fear the blank page 😉 You’re in good company. Have a wonderful weekend!
You are the sweetest. Thanks again for your concrete advice. Things I can actually put into my everyday practice and find my inspiration. ❤ @Pointebrush
Love the bloopers. More more! 😂
13:30 excellent advice!!
Love this so much! And your artistic inspiration comes out too on your videos! :D
Thank you so much! Hope it helped!
Oh my gosh i think I would have tucked some scrap art in my bag so if I created something wonderful I could pull a switch and let her rip up that while I tuck the nice art in my bag to save. Lol
Good ideas
Grazie.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you liked it! 💗💗💗
Great video
I got inspiration from art books
Yes- sounds like me too - love it what a cutie
👼
I just became a new subbie. Love your videos that I have watched today. May 2022.
So when I was 11 I produced a beautiful ballerina painting, I was shocked I produced it cos I thought I was not an artist, ... I only just now realize it I did it once it's in there no matter how buried it might be, so I am starting to learn again now I am retired, so with calligraphy pens, paint brushes, paints, pencils, pens, paper, threads, and
fabrics I am ready to play. So looking forward to learning and enjoying the journey.
Hi Vanessa! Thank you for watching and Welcome!! ❤️ I’m so glad you’ve found the inspiration and motivation to pick up your art supplies and come back to creativity! A whole fun and exciting world awaits 😘
Amazing Video!
Thank you! Xoxo 💋
A very interesting video for a great topic. I have just finished writing the first draft of Art Inspiration. You touched on similar issues as my draft blog post. I would like to link your video to my post if that’s ok. I should be able to finalise the post and upload it onto my website tomorrow.
Sure! And I’d love to read your post! Feel free to share it here 👍
I want to know about some gouache learning books can you say me? Would be great if you do, I am in love with that medium.
Thank you for watching! I don’t know if any books but I plan on teaching a lot more tutorials about gouache soon! ❤️
Oh my, can you sing because you were hitting notes when saying no at the end of the video.
And I listen music from the 70s
Well it’s clear you have great taste then 😉
Aphantasia prohibits ideas.😢
I take pictures of stuff that caught my attention (or screenshots) and keep them in a "painting - inspiration" folder, for future reference. full images or sometimes just a detail that caught my attention or stuff. And I always keep a reference at hand, because I'm painting for pleasure, and those who say you can't use references are just full of themselves gate-keepers. Have fun!
Please don't be offended but the piano is so loud I feel like you are having to talk over it. I love all your videos so please take this as constructive criticism. Maybe I'm overly sensitive but piano being so percussive can sometimes be too much. I found this when a friend was healing from a surgery at my house. I would practice/play my harp and my piano. He much preferred the harp and found the piano too jarring in his pain killer state. I often think of that time when I hear music played a little too loudly. Anyway, I digress. Much love to you and thank you for your wonderful videos. Since I did see someone mention the loud jazz in another video I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Please delete this comment if you find it offensive and I apologize in advance if it annoys you. :-)
