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 KZfaq 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!

I think the card swatches are a great idea but on just one card colour, I would have the left side with the white boarder and the right side painted right to the end. So you the best of both. The painted side right to the edge is handy to hold against your reference to pick colours. I think I might do this for myself 😊

Re: michael harding I spent soooo much money on my Michael Harding tubes, made a custom palette and then a swatch card. LOW AND BEHOLD, all of the tubes that I thought would be very very unique and special ended up being VERY similar or perfectly duped by my roman szmall pans. Yep, you heard me. Im lookin at you Autum and Aquarius green! Since you are moving away from tubes anyway, just use that money to expand your RS collection instead.

White borders around colors: it is a known…what’s the word…phenomenon- in art education & visual effects- that you can see the color more readily by having that white border around it, and not up against other colors, which will influence your eyes into thinking it is warmer or cooler, based on what is surrounding it. I forget what you call it tho…

I love the Arts to Embers palettes! I'm new to watercolors, and I'm really glad I ran across his palettes early on. I have a tiny 6-half pan palette and I've filled the pans with my Daniel Smith Essential Mixing Set paints. One thing to mention about A to E's palettes: the mixing part of the palette is coated so that it is easier to mix colors without them beading up on the plastic surface.

Years ago I needed a compartmentalized box for my art supplies. The arts and crafts section of the store had them, but at a price I wasn't going to pay. But I found the same kind of box, that was not only better for what I wanted, but better quality, at less than half the price, in the fishing section...for lures! Since then I've looked in other places like you did. Thank you so much!

Welp. All of my color cards are rubber banded together like an old deck of cards and I hardly ever (never) look at them. It was great to do them though because it helped me become more familiar with each hue and paint, how it diluted, if it granulated, was it smooth, etc. I did write notes. What good are the notes? I remember things better if I write them down.

You recently found your way into my recommendations, and at first I wasn't sure why I found you so relatable. I knew I enjoyed your videos because your presentation style is equal parts Kristy Rice, Jenna Rainey, and Lindsay Weirich. Kinda silly and fun, not afraid to include bloopers and be self deprecating. And then I found this video and you said the word Virgo. As a fellow Virgo, I not only Get It, but totally appreciate your level of detail and organization, and genuine excitement for things that simplify organization and make it at least feel a little less maddening. And I snorted at the Imelda Marcos reference...and then immediately wondered how many people were absolutely not going to get that one. You just earned yourself a shiny new subscriber. 😁 On a random side note, how often do you get told you look like Bebe Neuwirth circa 1992?
@rachelgetsitright632 10 ай бұрын
Really good way of personalizing palettes! I used your technique of using napkins with the smooth surface for painting, instead of paper towels. My (kinda) non art supplies supply item is, I use Lepage (brand) Fun Tak Poster Putty to hold my paint pans in place, in the palettes. Instead of magnets. The putty is firm, removable, non toxic. I’m in Canada, so I don’t know if it’s available internationally, there’s probably a good brand in each country.

I have a very similar system to yours, from filing my swatch cards to keeping colours for projects separately in smaller tins 😊 I love the idea of the small swatch card puncher!

Great video. I love the meeden pallete, I also have 1 of my own and they are very sturdy and the 48 pans are perfect for adding to my watercolour collection. I have the same idea of building several palletes with various ranges. I'm still new so it's a slow process, but I can't think of anything better to have an infatuation with. Like you said, some people are shoes, some are clothes, some are handbags, we are fans of watercolour paints 🎨😊 i'd rather spend my money on something that will make me happy. The arts to embers pallets also look very good, i also like the idea of having the white edge to stop the cross contamination and the ease of them popping out but in a flat secure pallete. Your organisational skills match my own way of thinking and approach to organising. No idea if i have any virgo in me as not sure of my exact birth chart but i'm a gemini, so logical and methodical approaches to absolutely everything really pleases me.😊 I tried swatching to the edge on my own individual swatch cards, back at the beginning of the year, i too found that the lack of the white edge makes it very difficult to see the vibrancy of the colour.

I can’t speak for everyone but for me, I ended up with two businesses after I had to pivot because my full time business all but shut down due to the pandemic. Now I have two businesses and the diversification of income streams guarantees that me and my family don’t rely on just one source. Our income comes 100% from these businesses so it’s crucial to have a parachute if the economy or something else affects one.

Thank you for your videos> I tried the link for the 72 pan palette and can not get thru. Can you tell me the name of the company please?

It's called Arts to Embers and I just added a corrected link in the description so it points to his store :)

I think Roman Szmal larger pans are just standard full pan size. I only have 1 RS full pan, but it is exactly the same dimensions as my generic empty full pans. It looks like Arts to Embers has a 12 full pan palette if that helps? 😊

Hi Tara! It seems that the pans are boxier and thicker than the ones I commonly see in circulation in the US. Have you compared? Would love to know!

Hi, think you are right about the RSz full pans, I could use my normal palet for them

I just measured them, and they are both 19mm x 30mm and 10mm deep. If you google "Wet canvas watercolour pan dimensions" a thread that has several half pan and a couple of full pan dimensions are listed. Schmincke and Kremer seem to be the same size with a tiny difference in height. Roman Szmal is the only full pan from a watercolour company I own, so I can't measure myself. 😆 Windsor and newton (artist and cotman) pans, are smaller than any other I've come across so don't compare anything to them! Jacksons watercolour full pans are 19mm x 30mm x 9mm, so just a fraction shorter.
