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 RU-vid 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!

Hi Margot , how incredibly ironic that I just returned from the art store and while I was there I found a used Georgia OKeeffe book for $6.95 ! I could hardly wait to get home and delve into it and then I get this notification from you in “ OKeeffe style “ ! What a beautiful day for a beautiful painting , I can’t wait to give this a try , I also loved your Matisse! Thank you so much for sharing ! Blessings from WA

@Pointebrush Год назад

What a terrific find! Sounds like the stars aligned ✨ Hope you give it a go and thank you for writing!

@grittykitty50 Год назад

Must be something in the air: I just scoured the Abe used books site looking for some books on O'Keeffe's florals. I LOVE IT when I make a great score on a book or art supplies from a resale shop.

@TracyIndy Год назад

You found your calling Margot!! You've reached a top-notched level of fun, quirky, brilliant, and elegant teaching videos. Thank you for sharing that extra edge we all need to better ourselves. You are priceless. 😍🙏✨😘

@PennyandRosePaperie Год назад

Margot your videos are just amazing. So entertaining, so educational, and even better - so so classy. You have quickly become one of my top favorite channels on here. I am a bookbinder/paper artist/journal maker (is there an all encompassing title for that? 😅) but have been teaching myself to sketch and paint for fun (and to challenge myself to something new) when I’m not working on my main business. Your channel has been so informative and I just love being able to step into your world for a bit! Thank you for making RU-vid exciting!!! ❤

@wildflower1397 Год назад

I stopped drawing about 10 years ago, and have so much anxiety about starting again. I am ordering watercolors today, and need ways to dip my toes in, while not being afraid. I never knew that starting to paint could actually be scary, lol. This video is exactly what I needed, so thank you! ❤

@anacoeur1282 5 месяцев назад

Fellow Parsons grad here. I don’t know why but your videos make me emotional and accepting of where I am in my art process. Thank you so much ❤

@Pam-0256 Год назад

This is brilliant Margot! As a Life Coach my favourite question to clients is "how could you look at this differently?" Now using this question for painting is stunning ... life changing! I am so taken with this video ... and your art is crazy good. Thank you for sharing so generously ... Pam

@briansweeney2096 9 дней назад

Margot, thank you for this great video. I, too, have recently been learning about Georgia O'Keefe and her art, especially her florals. I am, right now, trying to replicate her style but using MY ideas. I can just hope that I do her and myself proud. Whatever the outcome I have enjoyed the learning prosses.

@tbelsom Год назад

You are too funny! Loved the video (and Georgia).😊

Another lovely video with great ideas! I think I'll give that a try this week - thank you :)

@Lauraisabelgonzalezart Год назад

Wow, the deep contrast in her work is absolutely stunning. You're such a wonderful story teller. I always learn something new from you.

@Pointebrush Год назад

That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much!

@ericakauffman5786 Год назад

I find your videos interesting. I have found that my "style" is to be as most realistic as I can get. I don't feel trapped or constrained by realism.

@winonaho Год назад

This is your best video yet. Love your content!

@shadowguard3578 Год назад

I love art history in a YT video. I enjoy learning about artists. When I watch your videos I feel as if I’m also receiving an education 😊. I believe creating anything is better than agonizing over perfection. My sketchbooks are for fun, experimenting, and making a mess. My watercolor blocks are for my thoughtful planned pieces of artwork. Also, when I don’t want to pick up a paint brush I take out my coloring pencils and I use those to create art. I enjoy the precision of coloring pencils but they are such a slow medium 😆. Thank you Margot. ❤

@Pointebrush Год назад

You're so welcome! I love that you are so aware of your tastes and process. I applaud any artist who trusts their instincts. And thank you so much for your kind words about the video. I love being able to share my passion for art and art history so I'm happy it comes across!

@TheGoodFruitMelancholy Год назад

Margot-your work is super inspiring! I’m grateful to have been working in my studio when I got your alert and got to possibly be first-(ish) to comment. Wanted to say God Bless you and what you are doing on You Tube-I enjoy your videos tremendously and they have definitely enlightened me. Thank you for that -! I pray you have a peaceful and beautiful day!!☺️

Love , love the way you teach and the learn do much from the history of artists.. most of all love that you encourage freedom ,to have a go . I make a mess a lot of the times but love the trying out stuff. 👏👏👏

@Pointebrush Год назад

The mess is where the good stuff is hiding! Trust your instincts, they know more than you think 😉 and thank you for watching! ❤️

@surfit. Год назад

Great video on another style of painting. I'm not one to stick to one style of painting. It depends how I feel. Impatient? I paint loose. Determine. I paint with details. Carefree (or whatever feeling), it's abstract, like playing with salt, water blooms, dishwashing soup, stuff like that. If you watch a lot of tutorials on 'how to' paint, you play the guessing game on who's the artist and most of the time I guess right. There's one that displays her floral artwork in the background and they all look the same, as you expressed the monotone voice.

@Iheartbrusselsprouts 11 месяцев назад

@jenniferboresi6907 Год назад

Thank you! I’ve been doing botanicals for month/years and admittedly got a bit bored depicting what I saw. Your instruction has helped me loosen up, explore new colors, try bigger brushes. This video is amazing. I love O’Keefe’s work but, duh, hadn’t considered trying her style. Thanks for this. 😊

@msfrehel8758 9 месяцев назад

@aprilm7619 Год назад

I really enjoy these videos where you discuss an artist along with a watercolor painting technique - it's fun to learn about an artist while practicing something new!

@MacaronsAndCupcakes 11 месяцев назад

What an interesting video! I loved how you took us through making your thumbnails to actually painting a piece. Your final piece was gorgeous too. And what you said is so true - everyone takes the same tutorials and there is so much artwork out there that is the same. I loved how your video really emphasised bringing your own perspective to your artwork. Now off to watch your Matisse vid…..

Margot this video was wonderful. I love your finished piece, but thankyou for your motivating, positive videos, this was just the touch of inspiration and encouragement I was in need of.

@crystaltanart 11 месяцев назад

Great great video as usual Margot. Thank you for sharing your art education and experience with us. I am learning so much. I have been toying with abstraction and trying out unexpected cropping for my paintings. And I think your videos have encouraged that.

@colleenmcchesney1482 Год назад

Oh wow you had my attention when you said you were going to share the first thing learned in art school- how to see your subject! But then you said Florals & I was like 😬oh no, but then you mentioned one of my favorite artists Georgia O’Keeffe. You have definitely taught me something new & interesting plus inspirational. I feel more energized to look at my favorite subjects to paint with a different perspective. My being a self educated artist for only 4 years I really appreciate your encouragement for doing thumbnails of a subject & why they are so important for keeping me motivated to paint. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us 💕🎨.

@Pointebrush Год назад

You're so very welcome Colleen! You would be amazed at how much of a story the most boring objects can tell! Just look at the artist Claes Oldenburg and how he did the most incredible things with things we often overlook. I'm so glad this video inspired and empowered you!

@colleenmcchesney1482 Год назад

Thanks for sharing another new artist to me. I really appreciate it!

@luneleaart Год назад

@connielester1641 Год назад

I so appreciate you sharing these fascinating stories of artists and their work and creating outside of the box. Absolutely more please❣️

@azzuparis Год назад

Beautiful! I love this idea of painting the same object in a different angle. I usually paint loose watercolor florals but I’m getting a little bored right now. When I try to paint, the result is not pleasing to look at and I get frustrated. This exercise could be helpful to just mindlessly painting without getting stressed and simply play. Merci Margot ❤️

@sherryfurr9115 Год назад

I needed this because I feel "stuck." I have spent 100's of hours learning strokes, colors, values, WOW, etc., etc. But I was not sure where to go from here...what is my "style." What inspires me? What do I love to look at, but hate to paint. Thank you!

I see quite a few of us love this new series, perhaps, inspired by artists series?

@davidmccullough6600 Год назад

You won me over by the end. I was dubious of yet another floral painting tutorial, but that's not what this is and I think I get it. You really are on to something in your explanation of your process of thinking this through. And the proof is in the final result. Brava!

@Pointebrush Год назад

Hi David and thanks for leaving a comment! I knew the word “floral” was going to give artists like yourself pause. Haha I’m glad you got the point of the video and thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️

@awatercolourist Год назад

I love tightly cropped floral compositions: your painting here, Georgia O’Keef’s, Ohara Koson’s Irises , and I think Anna Mason and/or Billy Showell.

@MrsBarnabas Год назад

Margot, another brilliant video. Thank you for the references to Georgia O'Keefe. I've become very lazy about art history recently, and your Artist-related videos are a good reminder without being 'heavy', to take another look back at some of the masters of the past. Also, an even bigger 🌟"Thank you!" 🌟for reminding me to 'think outside the box' with my 'From life' paintings and not just my playtime abstracts!!! I feel that I'm being well and truly, very forcibly dragged outside my comfort zone lately, and this is another reminder of the need to dust off and polish up my almost-lost sense of adventure in plein air work. 💃

@spktme Год назад

Loving these videos! When I think I've found my favorite you just keep putting out gems making it so hard to choose! 😁 Good thing I don't have to and can save them all! 😂❤
