  • It's that time of the year again! Welcome to my annual art haul where I unbox and add new art supplies to my collection. This year, I'm taking things to the next level by trying out new brands of watercolors and experimenting with new brushes too. In this video, I'll be unboxing and reviewing the latest watercolor sets and brush collections, giving you a sneak peek into what's coming next on this channel. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to try something new in their art journey. So, grab a hot beverage and join me as I discover and explore new tools for my art studio :)

    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!

    Congratulations for your lovely baby girl ! What I would like to see and it would be a real reference for me in the future would be a kind of ‘ battle ‘ swatch, side by side per color… instead of swatching per brand, swatch per color one video for yellows, one for oranges… with your precious comments, your feelings about them… this way when I need a new blue it will be easier to compare I make a better choice based on my needs… just a suggestion if it’s possible… thank you for all your work. It’s really inspiring!

      What an excellent idea! I think once I get through each brand I definitely will entertain doing a series on each color family that I own. I also like the idea of putting it in context because we could talk about pigment numbers and lightfastness all day but what’s really important is how we actually put them to use! 👍

    I went on a 13 country European bus tour after college and our German tour guide taught us the Van Gogh pronunciation. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard say it correctly! I tell people anytime I say it but nobody cares. Eh. I care! And now I’ve found one other who cares 😀 her mother made us sacher cake when we passed through her town it was charming.

    Schmincke is still my absolute favourite, they were the first profession paints I bought myself and I still adore them. This was a great haul! Love Saunders Waterford, being in the UK it's easier to get hold of and is often on great deals at Jackson's Art Supply or my local art shop in the imperial sheet format!
    Congrats on the baby (although she's obviously a lot older now!) and I'd love to see watches of all the paints.

    Thank you very much for this mouthwatering video. I really appreciate your great effort for pronouncing Van Gogh’s name properly, being Dutch myself… Actually we do not have a hard G in Dutch, so both G’s are pronounced soft, like how you pronounced the last one. (It is also the way we used to “smell” out Germans impersonating Dutch citizens in WWII, because they do not have a soft G and can’t pronounce it😂). Am also very happy that you say he is Dutch, because it’s always a thing with our French friends who consider him French! And now off to fulfill some of that craving you gave me for new watercolors, even though we have to order almost everything abroad on this little Dutch island (Curaçao) in the Caribbean. At least we can get the European stuff relatively taxfree nowadays from the Netherlands. Een hele fijne dag en dank je wel! (New sub)

      @Pointebrush  Рік тому

      Welcome, Claire! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and response! Yes, the French are always quick to want to take credit for artists that took up residence in France lol Van Gogh and Picasso come to mind. I loved your WWII insight. I love history and stories. That was a little nugget I think I’ll always remember 🥰 Glad to have you here ❤️

      Yes! I was most curious about their Dusk color lineup which is unique. I don't remember if Rembrandt (the pro set of the brand) has them too but I wasn't able to get a Rembrandt swatch sheet.

    • @actuallyfrankie
      @actuallyfrankie Рік тому

      @@Pointebrush they do! But I watched a few videos from professional artists who own both, and they mentioned the dusk colors are relatively interchangeable between brands! The only shame is the lack of true cobalts in the Van Gogh range, really; am quite fond of true cerulean blue. Otherwise, they perform quite well, especially for more illustrative work! Quite easy to control!

      Oh I didn’t know her name! And yes to seeing some of these things in action! It’s tough because I very rarely use more than 4-5 colors for most of my paintings so I’ll have to figure out a creative way to use them all without it looking like a bag of skittles 😂 But I’m up for it!
