Today's video is an introduction to paintbrushes. So if you've ever been confused about the different sizes, shapes, styles of brushes and what kind of brush to pick up for your next watercolor (or just about any) painting project, this video is for you! I'll talk about paintbrush basics, such as natural vs synthetic, long handle vs short handle, different applications and even a demo of the different marks and strokes you can get out of these different paint brushes. So if you're beginner starting your art journey, or even an advanced painter looking to brush up on your basics, grab a hot cup of your favorite beverage and join me for this video!
Xo,
Margot

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 YouTube 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!
