    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!

Painting along with you is like an escape into wonderland and your delivery is a thick frothy latte on a chilly morning. I second the person that says to please do more ballerina poses!!

  • @awatercolourist
    @awatercolourist Рік тому +2

    I liked that you used the green in the shadows and in the hair to unify the while painting. Using left over paint on your palette was also a nice idea, although I will confess that I am adverse to that. One of the best ways for me to ruin a painting is to start with leftover paint on my palette.

    • @Pointebrush
      @Pointebrush  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! With leftover paint, if it makes you nervous, I would recommend keeping a scrap piece of paper close by and every time you have the urge to try it, try it on the scrap first. And always go lighter in value than your instinct. That way it’s easier to lift if it goes wrong (and it’s always easier to add more than to remove)

    Margot I binge watched at least half of your videos yesterday. I want to say thank you for the joy, the inspiration and the invaluable knowledge you share. Today in Australia, Christmas eve I painted my first real picture. Not just circles or mark making but a ballerina. To say I was petrified when I first picked up the pencil is not an understatement. With your help I ploughed through and found myself really enjoying myself. I followed your color mixing and shading etc. But used blue. My ballerina is my first it looks like a ballerina and I had fun. A special gift for a special person no matter how perfect it is. 10 mins to Christmas here, merry Christmas to you. Thank you.

    I love ballet! This was so interesting. I would absolutely enjoy seeing more form and movement. I have a difficult time achieving the proper form. I have to do so much erasing. I'm not at 100% as of yet, and maybe I will never arrive.
    Some of these positions are really hard to figure out.
    I love your work and your detailed instructions. This was very helpful.
    I need more of this. Thank you so much for sharing your artistic talent.💕🩰

      I’m glad it’s helpful and clear. It’s a pet peeve of mine when people show without telling or vice versa 😝 And don’t worry, ballet dancers and movement are hard, much harder than still figures, so it’s not just you. It IS difficult! But keep at it! With practice it gets better 👍

      Hi Susan! Thank you so much and I definitely will share more! Oh and those longer skirts are known as romantic tutus. The short dish shaped ones are “classical tutus” but the longer ones made of tulle that come to the ankle or knee are “romantic style tutus” 😘

      @@Pointebrush Hi Margot thank you so much for replying to my comment and also thank you very much for the information on the names of the longer skirts used in ballet. The romantic tutus and the classical tutus. I knew there had to be a special name for them. Thank you so much. Margot could you please help me with something else regarding ballet if you can. Are there books that have mainly photos or pictures in them rather than writing. Because I'd love to have a few to draw from them like that onf you did with the green tutu on your phone. I would not mind some writing but I need one with mostly photos of ballet dancers in different positions and difficult costume of course. I'd be so grateful if you could help me here if you can. Thank you for everything you do. I love your ballerinas and I would love to see more. I love that one you did for Easter too. It's very tastefully done. Absolutely lovely. Thank you.
