Revamped the Photo Frames with Very Easy Line Art

---

I love pinning pictures on Pinterest to get inspirational ideas for art, home decor, event planning, recipes, and whatnot. Last year, when I moved to this home, it helped me a lot in deciding on my bedroom theme.

In Pakistan, traditional furniture and decor are either all browns or bold florals. It looks good if aesthetics aren't killed. There's no room for neutrals though. Any person who is inclined toward pastels and neutrals is considered an old soul. I just exaggerated it, not all but in general, it's true. I love neutrals and pastels so I know the bashing. Haha.

With time and a lot of aimless browsing on Pinterest, I got to know that careful choice of colors, patterns, and prints play an important role in the mood of a person and the overall feel of any space.

For instance, yellow makes you feel active and energetic, green is soothing to the eyes, white feels more spacious, and dark tones in the bedrooms make them cozier and restful, perfect for a good night's sleep.

Keeping it all in mind, I chose a color palette for my room. Who helped me with the palette? Of course, Pinterest. I had dark green and gray colors in mind already but I was clueless about what more colors should I add to complement these two. Pinterest showed me plenty of palettes but I found what I was looking for in a few seconds.

This was all one year ago. My home needs some serious touch-ups again to make it cozier and homey. That's why, I'm again in that Pinterest phase nowadays, pinning things round the clock.

I have a lot of stuff going on in my mind and I plan to share it here this time as I accomplish it all, hopefully. So you might get to see very different kinds of blogs from time to time.

Due to some reason, I will have to wait for couple of more days to get started with big transformations. However, I decided to start upcycling small things because I am impatient.

A photo collage frame was under my scrutiny for some days now. I won it in some competition and since then I didn't bother to change the printed pictures inside.

I first thought to add family pictures but I'm not a fan of displaying humans, so Pinterest again came to the rescue.

I came to know of Line Art which is trending now a days. It's a minimal modern art which looks very clean and classy. The good thing is you don't have to be an artist to do it.

I could print my favorite designs but as you know my son recently gifted me new Acrylics on my Birthday and he was getting impatient that why mama is not using his present. Plus I had a lingering headache again due to extensive screen time so I took a break of one day from Steemit and dived into this mini project.

There were two different sizes used for all ten pictures. I measured each and cut the same-sized sheets from my sketchbook.

I rechecked the sizes by placing all the sheets on respective frames.

I set up my table with all the essentials like watercolors, acrylics, water, paper towels, paint brushes, paper tape, 0.3mm black pointer, and a clipboard.

I took one sheet and secured it on the clipboard with tape. Doing so keeps the paper from forming valleys due to watercolors and as an added bonus it gives a nice clean border.

You can see how simple yet cool are these designs. I took the inspiration from Pinterest and modified it according to the color palette that went my space. I mostly used watercolors and used acrylics only where I needed to add a light layer over a dark one. After the paints, I drew shapes with a black pointer. It's as simple as that.

Here's the final look. It's the not best work as I can't sit for long hours without a backrest. So I finished it in haste at the end. But it certainly does look better than the previously printed pictures.

I compiled a short clip as well. Please click the video below to view it.
