Take Your Creativity on the Go This Summer with Altenew Artist Markers

Summer is the perfect season for adventure, whether that means relaxing at a cozy beach resort, exploring a new city, or simply enjoying a weekend getaway. But even while traveling, it's wonderful to carve out a little creative time just for yourself. If you've ever found yourself with downtime in a hotel room or during a quiet evening, why not pull out some markers and enjoy the calming process of coloring?

Hi Altenew fans and friends! It's Reiko here today, and I'm so excited to share some fun ideas for enjoying a little creative time while you're away from home!

Artist Markers: Your Ideal Travel Companion

When it comes to travel-friendly art supplies, Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers are a total game-changer. Unlike bulky paint sets or messy inks, these sleek, double-tipped alcohol markers won't spill, leak, or take up much space in your suitcase. Slip them into your carry-on or backpack, and you're ready to color wherever inspiration strikes.

Whether you're waiting for your next flight or enjoying a peaceful morning with a view, these markers make it easy to stay creative on the go.

Don't Forget Your Coloring Sheets!

To get the most out of your travel art time, I recommend bringing along a few Altenew Coloring Sheets. Each sheet features beautiful, hand-drawn floral designs just waiting to be brought to life with color. Since the outlines are already printed, there's no need to worry about stamping on the road - just pick your palette and enjoy!

Prefer stamping your own designs? Before your trip, you can use your favorite Altenew outline stamp sets to pre-create your own custom coloring pages on marker-friendly paper.

Curate Your Creative Kit: My Tips for Marker Selection & Coloring Prep

One of the joys of traveling with Altenew Artist Markers is choosing just the right colors for your journey. With so many vibrant shades to choose from, it's tempting to pack the whole set!

However, I love to curate my artist kit be selecting a few essentials: I always bring the lightest shades of green, yellow, and pink - one of each. Then, I add two slightly deeper tones for each color. This approach keeps my travel kit light and ensures I have a beautifully coordinated palette for blending and shading, without being overwhelmed by too many options.

Preparing coloring sheets in advance is my other must-have tip. Before I leave, I like to create a color swatch sheet and experiment to find my favorite color combos. When I'm happy with the results, I color in a selection of floral designs and complete some of them, so I have inspiring samples on hand during my trip.

Make sure to jot down the marker's color number on your coloring sheet as you go! Each Altenew Artist Marker is labeled with a specific number, so writing it next to your colored areas will make it much easier to remember and recreate your favorite color combinations later.

To keep everting organized, I collect my finished sheet with color number on it and fasten them together with pretty gold brads - making a DIY coloring booklet.

Pack Smart with Altenew Strage Pouches

To keep your travel art kit neat and organized, try using Altenew's Storage Pouches or Storage Pockets. These handy pouches are perfectly sized to carry a curated set of markers and coloring sheets wherever you go. Pack your favorite floral marker set, a few coloring sheets, and a sample booklet - and you're all set for a mini creative retreat, no matter where your summer takes you.

Happy travels and happy coloring!
