Here is another decorated paint brochure from the home improvement store. You may remember other similar works I have done in the past. (Search this blog under the term “brochure” to see more of them.)
What I do is, I take the name of the paint and draw something in the tiny space that illustrates the words.
I favor these white/off-white brochures because the black pen shows up so well. But, you can do this with any color (I have) – just use a contrasting pen color.
Come on, give it a try, it is fun!
Here are the individual pages, closer up.

This is by far one of the coolest ideas, i know i have said that before. ❤
Thank you. I can’t take credit for the original idea, another blog friend put me on to it, but, I do think I have made enough of these now to have my own style and approach. It is really fun to do this and relaxing, plus the materials are free for the taking at the paint store…!
Brilliant, Claudia. Loved the mother of pearl one in particular!
Thank you. I have to admit that Mother of Pearl is one of my favorites and it came to me as I was contemplating drawing a pearl and felt…bla… and then this idea popped into my head. Lot of fun to do these little drawings just for that reason, the interesting ideas you can get from the paint names.
Love these – what a great way to inspire yourself. And the humour is an added bonus.
Thank you. It is so much fun to do these, and the materials are free and easy to find, even nicer. I also like that the drawings are very small, so you don’t have to get caught up in a lot of extraneous things – just get the point across.
These are always great and a couple of these made me laugh at the puns. Mother of Pearl is funny and adorable and the Moo on the can of paint made me chuckle aloud.
Thank you. Often I look at the paint name and at first am stumped and then the wordplay comes into action and the visual image follows. I love doing these brochures for this reason (among others, of course).
The rabbit caught my attention right away. (K)
Thank you. I love wild rabbits (we have them in my back yard and I can often see them from the window, very close) and this little guy pleased me how he came out.
So fun, what a creative idea! I wish those who created the paint brochures could see your brilliance!
I hope they would like it. Because they have given me a lot of inspiration with those color names!
