Non-floral custom product painting & perfume illustrations

I am always experimenting with new painting designs. And it was time to come up with some designs for clients or customers who would like to have a design that was not floral in nature.

So I sat down and experimented with my paints and got inspired by the beautiful perfume bottles and product packaging that surrounded me.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to the designs. And I want to begin by sharing just a few. These designs are perfect for both in-studio and events live on-site.

A gilded perfume

A simple, yet elegant and stunning design is to adorn a perfume or a product packaging with gold leaf. Carefully applied to wow the client or the recipient of the gift, the gold leaf really is an eye-catcher.

There is just something about black and gold! They are a perfect match.

Inspired by the packaging - Under the sea

Why not adorn the packaging in accordance with the theme or the scent of the product or perfume? 

That’s what I thought as well and so I turned this Acqua dell‘ Elba product packaging into a world beneath the sea. I added some beautiful shells, all in different shapes and colours.  This packaging is sure to leave a lasting impression and become a treasured keepsake.

Two seashells framing the logo. These seashells allude to the Italian isle of Elba and the beautiful beaches and seashells there.

The side-view of the packaging. A beautiful pop of colour.

The other side-view of the packaging. I used soft colours to build out the shell shape.

Some gold leaf to make the packaging even more stunning. Subtle but impactful.

Perfume illustration

Another way to mix up your live events or surprise your clients is to gift them hand-illustrated and painted perfume illustrations. These illustrations are created with pencil and watercolour. And are a memorable and unique keepsake of a favourite perfume that can be framed and admired for years to come.

I hope you like this selection of designs! Let me know if you have any other requests for designs that don’t include florals.

Please get in touch, if you’d like me to create some hand-painted products, perfumes or perfume illustrations for you and your brand. I’d be happy to work with you and am open to travel for work!

Love, Zainab

Gathering inspiration for my pattern collections

This week I thought I’d share with you, how I gather inspiration for my pattern collections.

I’ve really made a deep dive into pattern design in the last week. I’ve been gathering more inspiration for my patterns and looking at the artwork that I’ve created the last months (or years…). And I’ve started to pick up again where I left off on this surface pattern design journey.

Floral perfume illustrations

Since creating my first perfume illustration, I have wanted to marry my love for flowers with my love for perfume illustrations. And now that I have done it, I am so glad I did!

It was so interesting to see how different perfume bottle designs are for women and men. Sketching out the different bottle designs was therefore a lot of fun as they varied so much. And the colour choices for the female and male bottle designs were also so versatile. So it was really inspiring to experiment with different colour palettes!

It is my dream to create some of these illustrations for a magazine as a spot or editorial illustration, for a perfume brand etc. for an advertisement. Or even perform this skill live at a live event for a beauty brand!
