Color Palette: Going to the beach

November 13th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Color Palettes - (2 Comments)

Me and husband, walking to the beach in Venice beach. Again the fascination for the big colored walls. Would be a dream come true to have a BIG bright colored wall painted in my (future) house.

This weeks theme (which I made, just barely) on Illustration Friday is Whimsical. This word is very not specific, you could literally draw anything and just add a whimsical touch to it, which also makes it kind of hard to think outside the box. Anyways, I ended up with these snails and their little floral houses. I actually think they turned out pretty cute. Take care everyone and have a great weekend!

Hand painted owl rocks

November 12th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in DIY tutorials | Painted rocks - (0 Comments)

Something I used to do (A LOT) on my previous blog was to paint/draw on rocks. Especially owls, but also some other objects, like fishes, feathers and also lace/doily patterns. I think part of the reason I quit was just it was very hard for me to find the rocks to paint on in Stockholm. Now that we relocated to LA I seem to find a lot more of them for some reason, especially on my morning walks. So this might just be something I will pick up and do again. For now, here is some inspiration from all the rocks I painted way back when…

I doodled some social media icons for my sidebar. They should be visible in the sidebar, just click on any of them (or all of them) so we can connect!

Color Palette: Blues Girl Saturday

November 7th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Color Palettes - (0 Comments)

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.
