I absolutely love both of your colorful personalities and works of art. It's beautiful to see two KZfaqrs existing in the same spaces with grace. ❤

I love how you incorporated your ballerinas into this painting. Absolutely beautiful. You and Kristy are two of my favorites!

Love to see women supporting women! Kudos . I would paint a floral piece with those amazing colors! Love both channels so much. New to watercolor painting and I’m in love with this art journey! Jenny

I know it's tacky to come to one channel and talk about another; but, I really feel the need here Kristi Rice is all about making watercolor fun and accessible to all she talks about putting the "joy" in painting and removing the fear, hence the names on here products, she's really fun and inspiring to watch, in a completely different way, I feel like I have learned a lot from both of you as you really embody two ends of the spectrum and are both great teachers

Hold my earrings !!! Loved it!!! I am back to art after a forced retreat of 34 years. After all this time finally I can unchain this monster inside of me. I’m starting again and this time I want to paint nightscapes. Wish me good luck! Bless you for all the wonderful information but mostly for the inspiration.

Margot, the Silver Brush brush you showed isn't actually a regular dagger. It's called a striper or dagger striper. I think I had read they are useful for, well, stripes, because they have a large belly paired with the long bristles on one end. This differs from liners in that liners do not have large belly. Stripers can also be used as daggers can, but in a less generalized way. Think long twisted leaves vs more common leaves, petals, and the like by the regular dagger. [Edit, called it a stripper at one point.]

You have a great sense of humor!😆. Its so inspiring to see artist supporting each other! 💜

I love the dagger brushes for leaves and the beautiful colors in Kristy's pallet are perfect for fall leaves

Beautiful ballerina irises! Would love to use Kristy’s opaque, neon and bright colors to paint flowers without the “fear” of making a mess😂

Love the both you!!! As an older beginner painter I have learned so much from you both in the most fun and encouraging way. I love Color!!! Am drawn to intuitive interpretations of florals and landscapes. Your Canadian fan!❤️

This set of brushes from Kristy Rice are fun and also unique. They really do look like they would be great for flowers as well as many other types of subjects. I like how she designed the handles to be different colors. I also love the little zipper pouch they come in. Her packaging and branding is very lovely. It’s such a nice touch.

I love Kristi's attitude and her palette is wonderful. I love her brushes too. The dagger takes some getting used to, but once you get a feel for it, it's amazing.

The painting you did with those brushes was beautiful! I love how you incorporated the dancers’ skirts and arms with the iris images! My mom had irises when I was little and I always think of her when I see them. Beautifully done!

I paint quite a variety of topics, but my main one tends to be dragons, and I've got a feeling I could do some truly interesting ones with such an unusual colour selection. I loved how this piece of yours turned out, by the way. Just lovely.

Kristie is very generous. I’m so happy when people love her stuff. You need her original set too. It has 2 other daggers that are the workhorses of her brushes. They are great.

I'm new to watercolor. I live in Utah. I love learning from you and Kristy!

Kristy made me fearless about my paints and I am so intrigued by her dagger brush!

Love your painting and I love Kristy Rice too. I like to paint flowers. Thanks for your inspiring videos.

I am self taught for most of my life and adore finding women helping women to succeed! I love your style as well as Kristy and Emma and have learned so much from just listening to each of you as you walk us thru your videos...My heart is full of thanksgiving for those who are willing to share their sweet talents with the world!!! thank you, thank you for all you do!

Wow, what a surprise to find two of my favourite You Tube artists on one video. I would love to have Kristys paints to practice my floral painting. To do my own thing, “you do you,” you are both such great teachers.

So stunning. The colors are beautiful and naturally you make it look so easy. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity ❣️

Love your's and Kristy's videos.. If I had that pallet I would paint, wild flowers, birds and other animals I see out in nature.. Love learning from you through your videos.

I love Kristi's brushes. I would love to try her palette doing a joyful abstract painting. Maybe leaning towards organic florals.

I love finding people like you and Kristy on KZfaq. The fun, joy and creativity just warms my heart. I’m learning so much from you and others who are so generously sharing, teaching and encouraging us watchers to try. I haven’t found a niche in watercolor, but I lean towards the ocean for inspiration. Whether it is fish, turtles, whales, boats, coral, seashells, I return to that ocean theme the most. I’ve painted people, animals, birds, and autumn leaves. I have a dream to paint the little things in my yard and turn it into a children’s story that I could illustrate. I’m stuck with how the the story part will go, but have lots of photos of the animals and plants in my own yard for inspiration. Thank you again for sharing yourself, putting yourself out there for people like me to learn from your skills!

Just found you on KZfaq a few weeks ago and have been following Kristy for awhile. I really love your vibe and energy. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos

Gorgeous! You are the epitome of a ballerina! If I win the palette 🤞 I will be painting florals. I LOVE florals!

Love to see people supporting each other. It is so important

That video was hilarious.. 😂 I looked at this particular palette several times,,but couldn’t justify to buy more watercolours. I love painting flowers and they seem to be perfect for that.

Ohhhh my goodness. When I saw the title of this video I just had to watch it!! Nemesis such a catchy word choice!! Margot you had me the first time I watched one of your videos and I have probably 700+ paintings of wanna be flower fairies dancing around my art room! I’m addicted. I loved this video and I am thankful that your nemesis is the dagger brush and not fun loving Kristy. Sending much love to you from Colorado.

I have the Art for Joy's Sake palette and can vouch that it is fabulous. The paints are quality, and it has some unique colours. Because of the quaility of the palette I'm considering the brushes even though I don't really need any. Though, one can't have too many quality brushes.

You just painted those little dancing flowers with ease and they are beautiful and have movement, no need to change a thing... I will try some little dancing flowers and see what they come out looking like!!!!

I loved watching you go through and then paint with Kristy’s wonderful supplies. I enjoy watching and learning from you both. I have Kristy’s palette and love it, so I will leave that for another fortunate person! Happy painting! ☮️💙🌈

Amazing materials! I ADORE that palette, and I die for try it! I live in Argentina, and love try new materials and create with them.

These colors bring out Caribbean vibes for me. I think I'd paint a colorful seaside village. So fun!

In true Kristy style, I would have to try painting some flowers with her paints. Your ballerinas always look like they have so much movement

Greetings from Germany! Since we just got done with setting up our garden - lots of perennials, bird feeders, a spring, lots of flowers in pots etc - i would love to just sit in our small little paradise, watch the insects and birds and paint all the plants we have

Love the colors! They’re happy colors, coming from Cristy, I will love to paint flowers 💐! ❤thank you

You and Kristi were the 1st channels I subscribed to! I love it that you got a box of goodies from her. I'm in Oregon, USA. This pallet is perfect for what I'm learning to paint. I'm starting (and loving) painting soft sunset type washes. I'm also doing some really loose, soft florals. I'm just learning, thanks to KZfaq!

The delicious colours in Kristy's pallet beg to become a florist's shop of flowers! Thank you for introducing us to the pallet. My only question is, "Margot, when are you coming out with your *own* pallet (via Daniel Smith perhaps?)

Georgia, US. I love painting flowers too. I really enjoy your technique and style. Beautiful ballerinas wearing irises \ orchids, lovely :)

I have the same silver black velvet dagger brush you have and I, too, have NOT been able to “Kristy” it. Thank you! And if I were lucky enough to win the giveaway, I’d use the Set to paint the historical buildings in my town (before they’re torn down). Thank you for all you do for us!

Thank you for your tutorials. I am new to watercolor and I love your dancers. I am practicing with your tutorials so I can give a ballerina painting to the little girl next door to our house because she loves ballerinas and angels. I enjoy Kristy and have ordered her brushes. I would love to have her palette as well. Looking forward to learning watercolor painting from you. Warm regards. 😊

I have this palette, so I don't need to be included in the drawing. I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing Kristi's brushes, and giving a demo on the dagger brush! These will be on my wish list!! I adore your lovely painting using these brushes and the palette! I love that Kristi gave us that neon yellow in the palette because it allows the artist to bring light and life to other pigments, whether by glazing or by mixing.

Love learning from both you & Kristy! Fall is approaching here in Ohio and I’m looking forward to painting fall leaves and florals. Thank you for sharing your talent!

I would love Kristy’s beautiful watercolor set. If I would win the set I would paint pretty ladies with flowers in their hair🌸 ❤❤

Wow😍 what a beautyful painting you made.

Thank you for sharing this kit - looks amazing! Nice work, Kristy! Right now I’m into painting whimsical birds. 😁

Hey there, watching this in the USA. I have been experimenting with watercolor and gouache for the past few years. Now we are retired, and there is so much out there to paint and so many ways to paint it! I discovered your ballerina and flower watercolors. Wonderfully accessible, wonderfully flow-y. I would continue studying your loose floral and ballerina painting techniques, as well as continue loosening up my style with desert rock landscapes in the US (where we reside in the summer) and the houses of Mexico (where we spend our winters). Have a great weekend!

That collapsible water pot is usually the best design I have ever seen for a collapsible! So much thought went into this lovely packaging and gift ❤

I love watching you and Kristy paint, you are both so inspirational. I am at the very start of my creative journey but would love to be able to develop soft billowy watercolour florals inspired by you both! Margot your art has such a delicate touch and Kristy brings such vibrant colour. I have learnt so much from watching you both paint. I haven’t been able to find Kristy’s pallets or brushes here in the uk but would love to give them a go! Thank you both for sharing your talents with us xx

I enjoyed both Kristy and your videos, The colors in this pallet looks amazing, specially the fluorescent yellow. I been trying flowers watercolor painting with some success lately and this pallet would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, from Canada 🇨🇦.

I enjoy your humor! With a theater background I am drawn to your theater stage paintings. I would love to see a video based on interior theater architecture perspective. I'm mainly a floral painter but want to branch out. Kristy's choice of colors in this palette are quite fascinating.

I, too have trouble with daggers, I prefer angle shaders or flats. I'd love to try these paints on a landscape, my fave subject matter.

Being a beginner who loves bright colours, I would get joy in painting almost any subject with that beautiful palette. ❤️

Kristy is fabulous 😂 I enjoy your channel. I just discovered it. Thank you for your fun videos!!

you two are simply great teachers.

Like so many people, I began watching Kristy Rice at about the time my passion for art began to show itself-this occurred late 2020 when I was late in my 40’s!!🥹🙏🏻🙌🏻 My passion is very specific as well, including mostly an unimaginable love for watercolor specifically-& I started to learn to paint!! As a new watercolor artist-Kristy’s videos came up in my feed often, and I have learned a lot from her! In the start after watching a few of them, I found her enthusiasm, love for and use of lots of color and spontaneity to be totally my vibe😍 Since 2021, I have learned that nothing appeals to me more than portraiture, & nothing inspires me more than the love I have for Jesus!!🥰 The method I have discovered to utilize in expressing this love to others was born that year! For me, it includes both of these life changing gifts I received from the Lord; my Salvation and a sudden love for art, beauty and painting with watercolor! Remember those old Reese’s PeanutButter Cups commercials of the 80s? (Anyone else recall those-if ya know you know!!🤣🫣) …I’ve begun creating watercolor portraits -which allow us to look into the eyes of our neighbors-(something many of us fail to do daily anymore, unfortunately) & marvel at the immense range of stunning faces which the Lord made-all ages, ethnicities, and styles of people-and these paintings also contain whatever Bible verses are most speaking to me or impactful in that moment of my life, or those which represent important lessons I’ve heard from, etc…it’s done in a somewhat unexpected manner, most reminiscent in style of portraiture represented by modern day watercolor artists @HumidPeach & @PolinaBright-though naturally I deeply appreciate that those women have been at it far far longer and are immensely more advanced-so no disrespect in comparing my work to theirs-it’s simply helpful to describe the style-in that my work does emulate some aspects of their portraiture stylistically in a couple of ways. Huge long comment-so sorry-but felt inspired to say that I don’t need to win the items represented but I’m grateful you’re doing a giveaway such as this and some painters will be so overjoyed to receive such generous and useful items!! I’m sure someone will enjoy them immensely. Kristy has helped me in showing me how to create loose watercolor flowers with depth and presence for my backgrounds and sometimes foregrounds of my portraits, and I’m very grateful for that. God bless you, Margot, and-loved this video very much!!😊

I would love painting a large composition of flowers with those colors she incuded in her palette.

Your work is so inspiring. These orchid dancers are lovely. It is encouraging that rival YT’ers can share respect and friendship. I’m a beginner painter but I’m certain this palette would make stunning florals. 💐🤩

Beautiful paints and gorgeous brushes! I live in the US and I would paint some autumn leaves!

I would love to use that pallette to kickstart my travel journal

I would love to paint faires, each with different attributes, fora,dance, music,light,peace,joy all painted to evoke the feeling of each gift. Thank you Judy Clarke

That's an amazing painting. I'm a beginning figure painter moving towards portraits. I used to do acrylic many years ago and have fallen in love with watercolor. Your figures are what attracted me to your channel.

What a gorgeous painting you did 👍🏻👍🏻. I would paint a beach scene featuring all the colourful vibrant things you see when families are playing and enjoying the sand and water. 🏖️

Of course we’re watching you, your a fantastic artist who we all love!

Your ballerina painting is the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen you paint. 🎉 Great demo for Kristi’s brushes. I think 🤔 I will have to order them ❤

Your Iris Ballerinas are just fabulous ! ❤ And those brushes look so good. I mostly paint flowers so that palette would be great and very unique.

The lid on the water jar is a great idea!! I learned really quickly to keep my paints, water jar, and projects up. I am extremely involved in raising my nephew (24/7) and he loves painting. I learned about his love for painting when he was about 2-21/2. He would come and watch me paint and I gave him finger paints to paint with me. One morning, he got up very early and quietly came into my room, sat at my chair at my desk, picked up the paint brush and used my palette and water to finish my watercolor painting for me 😂😂😂 Thankfully I don't have any of the "toxic pigments". Regardless, he painted like a baby professional watercolorist and did not do anything with the paints or water that should not be done. I cherish that painting 3 years later, but of course I put my palette and water jar up every night now 😂😂😂😂😂 He has his own non toxic watercolor set, tempera paints, and other craft paints, pencils, markers, etc and creates art with me very often. But yeah...very important to keep the lids on the paint jars and the palettes put up!

I love painting florals and I am in love with that palette. The flowers on the cover make it a collectors item and I would love to try the unique combination of colours to paint florals with. It would be so inspiring to break out and start painting florals with such a pretty palette and unique colours. ❤

Thank you for supporting other artists also on KZfaq and sharing your experiences with supplies they manufacture. I am intrigued with Kristy’s colors and would love to try some innovative florals with them.

You and Kristy are my go to channels to watch late at night after getting the kids to bed! 😂 I’m trying to make time to paint again and would love this pallet to work on florals. ❤

Fantastic collaboration! Love this tutorial❤ so inspiring to see both talented watercolor artists at play, I’d like to try to use it in floral bouquets and holiday cards for my patients.

This was so fun to watch. And I love how you and Kristy support each other. I'm new to watercolor and have so far been painting landscapes and will be trying out florals as well. I enjoy watching both you and Kristy on KZfaq. Thank you!

Ohmygosh! I love the petal shape you did up there across the top of the page! Looks just like a large petal on a flower! It’s curled under and we’re looking at out head on!

I think I'd try and play with doing an abstract painting using Kristy's brushes. Something playful. Kind of like shut my eyes and let it go.....😊

Hope this contest will include the “Dancing Irises”! Simply love how you painted them❣

I'm familiar with Kristy Rice and enjoy her free from fear videos. Thank you for sharing your exploration. Your flower dancers are awesome!

Thank you for this beautiful demo! I’m a fam of both you and Kristy and it’s great to see her materials being used by another wonderful artist with a different style. Beautiful! I would use Kristy’s palette to paint the birds, flowers, and animals in my garden. ❤️

I absolutely loved the color choice here!! The bleeds were gorgeousssss. For a limited type of palette, I’m in AWE of the different colors & vibes you can bring out of it! Would be thrilled to bring this into my art 🥰

Hello, Margot! I've been following you for a short time. Love your videos (and your sense of humor). I am new to watercolor. I find it a beautiful medium, though difficult to get use to after having some experience with acrylics. I would love to try out Kristy's pigments. If I had this set, I would definitely try painting some florals and maybe try some landscapes. BTW, thanks for the opportunity.

I would love to use that palette in my bullet journal for my monthly calendar and schedule, I just feel like it would bring so much joy to the mundane! ❤

That collapsible water container! If I had that palette, it would probably end up in bird or reptile paintings. Oh! Or insects. There are lots of beetles and dragonflies and things that would look lovely. I also think those colors would lend themselves to some lovely landscapes!

Two of my favourite artists! I love the pallet. It gives me fairies in garden vibes. I'm all about the colours.

Hello there! I'm a Venezuelan residing in Houston, TX. I'm absolutely thrilled to have come across your channel! I subscribed right after watching your first video. Your talent and eagerness to share extensive watercolor insights with the global audience are truly commendable - thank you for that. The vibrant hues on Kristy's palette are absolutely captivating. It's truly magical how these bold colors harmonize together. However, my ultimate desire for these colors stems from my obsession with Neon Yellow! Its compatibility with the entire palette makes it an irresistible choice... I aspire to utilize this palette for creating contemporary landscapes inspired by my homeland.

How beautiful your ballerinaflowers Margot i'm allways impressed how light It lookes. I am 77 and Just started my Journey in Watercolor. Flowers, flowers, flowers is my to Go 😉💐

For the last 3 days since I discovered your channel, I have been watching your vdos one by one. I love your style and your work. Thank you Margot. Pantea from the South of France.

I am from the United States. I am newly retired. I would love to use the travel palette while on the go. I am brushing up on my painting skills of architecture and flower blossoms.

Thank you for your review, I saw your previous review of this palette and I would to get bolder and fearless with these vibrant colours on a series of stacked vintage teacups. I think it would be perfect! Definitely trying a dagger brush too. ❤

i'm learning watercolor, I love it. i have been watching your great material very insightful and helpful.. Can't wait to see all your material.

A colorful coral reef would be beautiful in those gorgeous colors!

I really enjoyed and appreciate your letting us watch and listen in as you tried out this new set of watercolor supplies and brushes. The colors and strokes look absolutely amazing and, with your skillful expertise, a gorgeous ‘star’ of a painting ‘was born’. I’m interested in this lovely free set to try my hand at painting Monet’s Water Lilies in watercolor (vs oil or acrylic). I follow your channel daily from my adopted home in Switzerland (married a Swiss), and was born and grew up in Texas. (Going soon for a visit! 🙌)

Beautiful! I’d love to try Kristy’s palette and try to paint one of your ballerinas! The way you used those colors to create the flower tutus is amazing🎉

I love both of you and your styles. It is so great that all of you artists support each other 💖🎨🖌️

What a great and inspiring video. I feel a whole lot of "girl power" here. Thank you so much for this dear Margot. I love your videos so much! And hearing that you are a ballerina yourself made me go "I knew it!" today 😁! You are the epitome of grace and elegance! I am watching you from across the ocean in Germany. And in case foreigners are allowed to enter in this giveaway, I would love to finally tackle flower painting, of which I am really scared. But like Kristy's lovely pouch says...no place for fear.🌸❤️

You’ve reminded me that I have a dagger brush too that I barely use! I must give it another try 🥺

I’m super excited to try her watercolors, after 15 years of trying and giving up, Kristy is the one who blew hope into my new found love of watercolor 🤩I’d love love love to use these beautiful paints to begin my new future in watercolor 🙏❤️🙏

I love your type of humor! You’re such an inspiration. I would also love to paint beautiful, bold, tropical flowers and More expressionistic paintings as well.

I love both you and Kristy I have had my eye on her paints for a long time. I love the unique colors. I just love your content and style.

Alabama, USA here, and I am really enjoying your channel, which I recently discovered. I love painting florals, and those you painted using the paints are just gorgeous. ❤

I love following your channel and Kristy too. Her supplies are amazing and i am so excited to see you use her paints.
