Flip through my travel sketches from Central America and share my sketch tips and techniques

- I returned from Costa Rica and Mexico a few days ago and would love to share my travel sketchbook with you. I also want to share a few of the techniques I use to capture scenes fast while I'm on holiday. Keeping a travel journal or sketching as you go, is a wonderful way of cementing all the memories in your brain and it also lets you make connections with people as you travel. I use pen and wash because its rapid, light and portable. Sadly I didn't meet up with the Urban Sketchers group in either Costa Rica or Mexico City, but I still managed to do lots.
Which is your favourite?

“Life is a bit splatty” haha that made me laugh! Such lovely artwork and what great memories!
Life isn't neat and tidy, is it? 😀
The variety in your sketches is absolutely wonderful Liz! You're inspiring our team to take to the road as well. ❤
You should!!
The colors are stunning, especially in the gold museum sketch. I grew up in Mexico and it's wonderful to see your interpretation of Mexican art and architecture! Brings back a lot of memories (I visited the Mexico City zoo in 1990 the year the panda was born!), and I'm inspired to bring my sketchbook and paints next time I'm there. Thank you for sharing.
I was last in Mexico in 1996 and have wanted to go back ever since. aThe history, culture, colour, food, people…. what a place! Hope you get back soon x ( and I can’t tell you how excited I was to see the panda!)
Your accordion sketch journal was amazing! You captured so many interesting objects! And I love your colour selections.
And your showing how you sketch was so helpful. You are amazing. You always inspire me!
I’m going on a short holiday to ski country (don’t ski anymore but go for R&R)… I can’t take much painting equipment…but now I have an idea of how to keep painting while I’m away.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video,Liz!❤
ooh have fun. You need very little and not having the perfect supplies makes you innovate! Have a lovely time
I love this combination video of sketchbook tour and art tutorial. And Viviva metallic paints are now on my 'to buy' list!
don’t forget your 10% off!
I studied abroad for 6 weeks and spent every weekend outside of the city in nature. I finally saw poison dart frogs on my last weekend- what an absolute treat (although my companions thought I was a little nutty to get so excited!😆)
I wish I made time to keep an art journal while I was there- I’ll have to go back! I can’t believe you captured so much with your small art kit!
ooh lucky you and yes, a return visit is due!
Fabulous sketchbook. I love your various animals, especially the toucans and tree frog. So glad you had a fabulous time.
Thanks so much 😊
Welcome home Liz! Glad to hear that you and your husband had such a wonderful time. Lovely to see your filled sketchbook, thank you for sharing xXx
Thank you so much! I was blown away by the wildlife in Costa Rica
@@LizChadertonArt I’m not surprised you were blown away by the flora & fauna - it’s on my bucket list for those exact reasons xXx
That was great, Liz! I love that accordian book. I have never used one but I think I will follow your lead and try it out. Oh, Costa Rica! The first time I went, I was working in travel and my office and I saw 2/3 of the country in 3 days. I was so overwhelmed but it was so beautiful 😂! I loved seeing the toucans. You had your glowing scorpion, I had a humongous armadillo 😊.
oooh, I have armadillo-envy now!
Really enjoy your sketchbooks. Love, love, love your tree frog!😊
I was rather excited!
Love Mexico …my home for the last 20 years…close to lots of Maya Ruins ..
how wonderful!
Thank you so much! I loved seeing your sketchbook, as well as the demonstration of how to do quick sketching for the book
Glad it was helpful! such a fun way to keep memories from a holiday
What a lovely record of your trip! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiration. ❤
I find even a rough sketch holds so many memories
As always Liz, a wonderful sketchbook to inspire and delight us.
Thank you!
Fab video, thank you Liz, such great info and ideas for holiday sketching. I am glad you had a wonderful trip too!
thank you so much. We were so lucky to go!
Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring us!
my absolute pleasure! I know how lucky I was to go
I’ve really enjoyed this video, your holiday sounded amazing and the drawings you did were so much nicer than seeing photos, they were lovely especially the tree frog, toucans and the panda x
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your journal. Your ink drawings/paintings are amazing!
Thank you so much!
Thank you lots of lovely tips here. I've done continuous line drawing before - I'll have to have another go. As always lots of good information thank you.
I think it gives a lot of energy to a drawing
Hullo Liz! You are giving me the traveling bug! I have not been traveling at all since 2015 and I was rather forced into retirement because of health problems.😕 I have tried a few Plein-air paintings in my back yard, our lot is against a greenbelt, so out our back door is around 300 acres of wilderness. California is a big state! I hope you have some notes and references for painting some of your trip in future artworks. Thank you for sharing this lovely trip with us!
I love just sketching the things around me too - it’s just I tend to have the time when on holiday. it sounds like you have some beautiful nature near you
Thank you for sharing your beautiful sketchbook! In the early 2000s I was fortunate to travel to Mexico several times. I always enjoyed the bright happy colors and art there. I am new to sketching and watercolor and enjoying it very much. I was able to find the Stabilo pen here in the States.
The colours are just wonderful, aren’t they?
Great video Liz - really inspires me to do something like this on my next holiday. Its so much more of a memory than just photos - thanks
It really enriches your memories
Wonderful! Very inspiring too. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this so much Liz, thank you for sharing. ❤
You are so welcome!
wonderful video Liz. loved watching the tips. didn't realize how colour sheets worked! am looking forward to my next outdoor sketching session!
they are great fun! I’ve tried a few of the sets out before if you want to see more ua-cam.com/video/E-4MuCmgi2g/v-deo.html
I loved every page! A friend who is a retired artist, ordered some nice watercolor paper to share with me. It was a huge sheet and I haven’t figured out what to do with it…but this gives me an idea…now I just have to learn how to make an accordion sketch book!
I have a tutorial on two styles: ua-cam.com/video/pPF9RYvOhHQ/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/DOZsPbNhpbY/v-deo.html such fun and very easy!
First time viewer.
Great video and clear explanation of materials used.
*Excellent artwork* .... Because *you actually created* from real Life onto paper.
Your skills are fab.
Keep sharing.
Stay happy everyone:)
Thanks and welcome
So beautiful. I’m inspired to try. Thank you!
Go for it!
Great demonstration of quick ways to sketch - and I love the gold 😍
Thanks so much 😊Me too!
A list of the supplies you demonstrated in the tips section would be helpful. Enjoyed your sketchbook and tips
I went through supplies in detail here if it helps: ua-cam.com/video/ias4p-wpDfU/v-deo.html 😊
Welcome back! Love your sketches ❤
Thank you so much 😀
An inspirational; watch.
oh good!
Thankyou, so enjoyed your travel sketchbook tour and tips. Just off to Georgia after Easter, so your tips were very helpful.
Have a wonderful trip!
Hi Liz. This was really nice to watch. You really appreciate other cultures and it shows. Have you ever tried an elegant writer? It's a calligraphy pen that is black and water solube, but it washes out into teals and pinks!!
yes I have…gives lovely effects
You sketch the loveliest wildlife! 🐸 🦜
we were so lucky to see so much
Thanks!
thank you very much Irene!
I love your sketch book and everything you draw in it Liz. Did you use cold press paper?
yes, it was cold press
Would you recommend bringing a portable stool or chair with you? Do you recommend one?
I personally wouldn’t, simply as I like to travel light and the portable ones are so low. There is never going to be a perch vantage point regretfully and you just have to compromise
great content keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
