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 UA-cam 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!

Thanks Margot love all your videos! So appreciate you sharing your honest opinions and expertise and helping educating us on the the science and magic of watercolours and of course always love your sense of humour! 😊🎨🙏🏻
Very helpful! Yes, I could see the shimmer in the amethyst. Your comparisons are helpful as I am deciding which paints to add to my palette. (Love the music too!)
I remember when I first got this set years ago I was so blown away, and now I have so many granulating watercolors between this brand and white nights and Schmincke just in love with them.
I just love listening to your descriptions of colors. You should be receiving commissions from the Monsignors Daniel Smith.(or at least free paints for life!) I would be delighted to speak to them on your behalf. I’m sure they would want to hear what I have to say!❣️🙏🖖🤭
The comparisons are especially useful. Your photography and close ups are top notch, and that is very important in painting instruction. I don't have any of the collection, and I need more paint like I need another T shirt or more shoes 😀. There is no pigment info listed for those, and I cannot seem to find out why, so that has me cautious, also. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Apologies for being a blot on otherwise interesting and fun watercolors, but there has been controversy about these paints. You can search for it right here on UA-cam and the internet in general.
Thank you Joy! Glad you're enjoying the videos and content! These are definitely on the unique and "different" side but I'm glad that showing some comparisons to somewhat similar colors helped get an idea of what to expect.
@@shadowguard3578 Hi there! I've definitely seen that the Primateks have seen their share of criticism for various reasons. Compared to other more traditional pigments, they definitely don't share the same pedigree if you're more of a purist and thus it's a bit of a science and art experiment. Personally, I love the aspect of play and discovery in these but realize that it's not for everyone. It's like an unexpected and slightly dangerous looking item on the menu at a fancy restaurant 😉
@@Pointebrush hello Margot ☺️. The way you describe Primatek as ‘an unexpected and slightly dangerous looking item on the menu at a fancy restaurant’ made me immediately think of blowfish! The first time I was interested in Daniel Smith watercolors I was very intrigued by the Primatek range, but after doing some research I decided not to buy any. However you’re right, I’m not strictly a pigment purist and once my no buy art supply is over (I’ve only just started for one month and I’m aiming to stretch it until November), then I might try one tube as an art and science experiment. I was very interested in Fuchsite Genuine because it has a natural sparkling quality to it. Anyway, thanks!
Thank you 🙂
These are gorgeous!
i think the fact that it does not go so dark might be good for those just beginning to learn art like me since i’ve recently learnt that in watercolour you have to start light and then build. Lovely video as always! I’m always excited when I see a UA-cam notification from your channel ❤️
edit: i’ve made the mistake of starting off too dark sometimes and then in the end it looks very dull as compared to staring lighter!
Yessss! Sounds like you're on to one of they key things with watercolor which is to build with layers! You'll find that the more you do that, the more your paintings will come alive in a wonderful and dimensional way!
I've enjoyed your videos and really appreciate this one as well. Primatek is an awesome option and I especially love the colors because they are so low staining.
So glad I’ve found your channel! I really enjoy your videos 😊
Aww I’m so glad! Welcome and thanks for watching!! ❤️❤️
Would be interesting to mix them among each other or with other colors.
Nice paints. I've become a fan of DS paints. W&N is also a favorite. [PS: The only pronunciation I'd correct is for "A-LIZ'-a-rin. (crimson)]
Hi Steve and thanks for watching! You’re absolutely right and it’s actually the faint glimmer of my French accent coming out when I say it that way 🤣
I have my eye on the Piemontite Genuine. Lovely for my landscapes. Thanks for sharing!
Piemontite would definitely make for an interesting one for landscape paintings. I could see it being a nice addition to your collection if that's a subject you do often!
@@Pointebrush 99% of my paintings are landscape, as trees & rocks are so beautiful and special to me. But I really want to try your ballerina cats and your tips on people. They are on my list. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this 🙂
You’re welcome!!
Thanks for this swatching. Do you, or any of your viewers have comments on how these Primateks mix with other Daniel Smith colours. Thanks.
The hematite from A. Gallo has significant reddish tones to it. I think of hematite as gray as the stone I used to wear.
Hi there. Flowers! Thank you.
I also enjoy the Primateks.
Aren’t they the best? My favorites in the DS lineup
👍👍👍 interesting, thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
@@Pointebrush you’re welcome ☺️
….oooohhhh that Jadite Green!
Very helpfullas I am new to Daniel Sith as a brand. TY.
You’re so welcome! I actually did a recent video of my top 10 DS colors so if you haven’t seen that yet, I would check it out too!
Thank you for this video 😊 I liked that you compared the colors to other colors in your collection. I just have a question… I noticed that the paint seemed to get streaky when you painted with them. I know that this video is made some time ago. Can I ask you what your experience is with them now? How do they flow when you paint with them?
I never do swatches but after watching you I have decided that I really need to do this to help me. What size cards are you making? This is such a good idea
I’m glad it inspired you to make your own! Mine are 2” x 3” but you could do business card size or even smaller. I find it helpful to find a storage/organization solution first (box vs album vs other solutions, see other peoples comments for ideas 😉 ) and then work backwards to size so that once you’re done, you have the perfect setup. Thanks for watching!! 💕
May I ask two questions: 1. Which color base is you Canvas lamp. Is it walnut? I was thinking about ordering one and Like the color of your canvas lamp base. 2. Which size do you make your swatch cards? Thank you so much, I loved your brush holder advice and bought the day one flat brush/soap holder.
I love these swatch videos.
Art is one of my favorite things. But also gaming.
I love the 2 so much, I one day wanna create a future business and several YT Channels. My favorite gaming franchise is Mario Kart.
I sometimes even draw ideas of Mario Kart Custom Track Ideas.
But I have a question
Do you know anywhere where I can create a custom Daniel Smith watercolor set for them to sell?
Have a good one!
Hi Louis! Thanks for your message! And a UA-cam channel about watercolor Mario Kart track designs sounds FABULOUS! 😉 Keep painting! ❤️
@@Pointebrush thank you so much for making your watercolor videos!
Now, I'm so sorry to say, but I ment one day having multiple chanel's for art and gaming, exct.
My favorite Mario Kart game is Wii. It is pretty broken. For example, how about a 5 second lap on Grumble Volcano!?
When I start getting WRs, I wanna get 64/64 possible WRs, 32 Ultra, and 32 No Ultra WRs. And nothing will stop me from getting my very, VERY unrealistic goals.
I have a question
Do you know how I can contact Daniel Smith to make a custom set with them to sell like these sets?
If I can make a custom set with Daniel Smith, it would include
watercolor sticks
Watercolor Pans
Watercolor Tubes
A few gouache for finished results
The colors would be a mix from Extra Fine, PrimaTek, and Luminescent
If not, that's ok.
Do your kids play Mario Kart? If so, which one? If you don't know, what are some track names?
Keep Creating Amazing Art!
Sincerely, Louis Wolfe
In the videos I've watched about swatching colors you seem to comment on all of the unique characteristics of each one; such as light fastness, granulation, opacity, etc. and I haven't noticed you adding this to the back of the swatch cards. How do you keep track or do you just know it from years of experience?
Hello, I am so sorry to bother, but I would like to know what paintbrush you are using? It looks like a Princeton? I can't make out the size. If you could please answer that, I would be so happy! Thank you, I recently discovered your channel and I absolutely adore it!
Many thanks!
Hi Kariena and thanks for watching! In this video I’m using a Princeton Aqua Elite brush in a size 8 round. I definitely recommend sizes 4, 8 and 10. They’re pretty inexpensive so it’s good to have all 3 in your arsenal! 🤍
@@Pointebrush oh! Thank you! And thank you for replying to such and old video😄😅
The music is the back while you’re talking is extremely irritating, message gets lost
