When I’m on vacation, I tend to draw what I see:
pretty plants, buildings, colors and my impression of
a place. It’s nice to not have a deadline—so if I only
get half of a drawing done, there are no worries.
The drawings here were done on a family vacation
to Costa Rica. It was very different from Indianapolis,
US, where I live, so drawing what I saw there helped
me slow down and take it all in. For me, it was a
good way to see everything more clearly.Tip: Keep your supplies minimal. I usually travel with
a small palette of gouache or watercolor paints, an
ink pen and my sketchbook. That way there’s not a
lot to carry around, and it’s easy to do a quick
drawing when you feel inspired.Penelopedullaghan.com; @penelope_dullaghanTEXTCAROLINE BUIJSILLUSTRATIONSJENNIFER BOURON, PENELOPE DULLAGHAN, ABIGAIL HALPIN, MEERA LEE PATEL,VALESCA VAN WAVERENPHOTOGRAPHYJONA ROTTING(VALESCA VAN WAVEREN),LINDSEY GRACE WHIDDON(MEERA LEE PATEL)
