Hand-painted Wisteria Bottle

I am a huge fan of wisteria and always look forward to them appearing in spring. Therefore, it is probably no surprise that this wisteria bottle is one of my favourites. 

Painting this bottle was an experiment and a risk. It could have been a complete disaster. But it wasn’t!

I love how the wisteria shine through the bottle, giving the design a 3-D effect. And I think the blossoms in their different stages of bloom really show off the beauty of the wisteria. 

I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of purple, but I find myself drawn to this colour so often now.

Unfortunately, the label of the wine had some smudges on it, so I went ahead and covered these with watercolour paint. Now there are some fluffy clouds next to the cute piglet on the label.

What do you think, how did the bottle turn out?

Love, Zainab

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.

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!

Cherry Blossom Bottle – Grandma turns 93!

I created a special hand-painted bottle for my grandmother in honour of her 93rd birthday. It is a beautiful egg liqueur bottle which I embellished with cherry blossoms and gold leaf speckles.

My grandmother loves egg liqueur. And asked my father to gift her a bottle from her favourite brand on her birthday. My father then asked me if I wanted to hand paint the bottle, which I happily said yes to!
