Here we go again! If you’ve been around (well, rather been on my previous blog and then have come back, and might know me as thecarolinejohansson) you know I really enjoyed making the color palettes out of my everyday photos. I still enjoy making them, so I’m thinking I’ll create some every now and then. It’s also a great way for me to share a little bit about me and my life, without loosing what this blog is about.
This photo is very recent, as it was taken just a couple of hours ago. For some reason I’ve fallen in love with all the big, solid, one color, painted walls here in LA, there seems to be a lot of them. This particular one can be found in Hermosa Beach, close to the pier (yeah, I know, your all taking notes to go there lol). Although, it was in no way a blues-kind-of-day.

DIY: Hand Painted Owl Rocks
November 3rd, 2015 | Posted by in DIY tutorials | Illustration - (0 Comments)So there is no step by step photos for how to do this, but basically:
- Go for a walk and look for rocks. A beach with those soft, round beach pebbles would work great. But don’t worry, I found these from walking around in my neighborhood here in LA, no need to look far in other words.
- Rinse of any dirt with water, we don’t want to ruin those pens of yours. Let dry.
- I prefer to use Posca Markers, but any kind of acrylic paint (either brush or pen) should do. Get creative!
- Once you are happy with your designs, let them dry and cover with the gloss of your choice, matte/glossy.
- You are done! Perfect for decorating windows, the garden, pots… Or put them in a nice box and give to a dear friend.
To be a bouquet of flowers
November 2nd, 2015 | Posted by in Illustration | Illustration Friday - (2 Comments)Wouldn’t that be interesting? 🙂
I will be saving this original drawing for a project I’m working on, but I was thinking it would make a good digital piece, so I decided to have a go. The color palette was inspired from my dress and some starburst candy, I guess that source of inspiration os never far away huh, it’s just a matter of seeing it.
The illustration friday theme for this week just happens to be BOUQUET (yes, coincidence, I swear) so I got to kill two (well, three actually) birds with one stone with this one.
