Sketching with acrylic markers while traveling is one of the most flexible and satisfying ways to capture nature. You do not need perfect weather, complex tools, or a studio setup. This sketch I made from one of my photos during travel. The beauty of this process is that it allows you to build confidence layer by layer while keeping the drawing loose and expressive. Follow these five steps to see how a landscape grows naturally. If the weather conditions outside are not so great it’s still worth to sketch indoors! All about this in my recent post. See my marker

Instead of feeling frustrated, this is the moment where indoor sketching becomes a powerful creative ally. With a compact sketchbook, a few brush pens, and a rainbow pencil, you can keep your visual diary alive anywhere.

During my one day trip to Big Bear Lake, I decided to continue testing my acrylic markers in real landscape conditions. I packed a small pocket sketchbook, a pen, and around fourteen markers to see how they would perform outdoors. Mountain trails always have surprises, and this time I learned a practical tip that will help every sketcher who loves nature. Acrylic markers can leak at higher altitudes, so keeping a small piece of paper towel in your kit truly saves the day.

I’ve been curious if you can truly sketch fast with acrylic markers. I’m talking real quick ten to fifteen minutes, on the go, with just a tiny pocket sketchbook and a handful of markers. So I took nine acrylic markers with me and went sketching outdoors. And of course, I forgot my pen, which I realized later… really matters. Still, the experiment turned into a surprisingly fun adventure. These are my thoughts and observations captured through five different quick scenes. I am sketching with GuangNA acrylic markers.
