Travel sketchbook: 700+ mile bike tour from Washington to California

Published 2023-01-16
In the Spring of 2021, I went on a bucket list bike tour from Seattle down the coast of Washington and Oregon. I brought along a travel sketchbook, and today we sit down to flip through the sketchbook and talk about some of the things that made this trip so special!

Here's the guidebook we used to plan this trip: www.amazon.com/Cycling-Pacific-Coast-Complete-Cana…

  • You guys are so cool?!?! And your strength is inspiring💖 this lil sketchbook tour is such a treasure trove💯
  • @catmothcrow
    I’m a cyclist and an artist so this was SUPER inspiring! It looks like it was an incredible trip, and your painting sketches are so soothing. Although that 4 mile bridge sounds absolutely terrifying 🫣😆
  • @AliceDel
    this entire endeavor - bike trip/journal/artwork - is amazing and wonderful... i love how your watercolor sketches reflect your experiences along the way -- landscapes, birds! --you were so connected to what you were seeing. thanks for showing us everything! (i once hitchhiked with a friend, from Seattle down the Oregon coast. it was a very long time ago but i remember how beautiful the Oregon beaches were)
  • I love your sense of adventure! So brave! Thank you for sharing! 💞
  • @GiselleRay
    Just found your YouTube channel and binged everything! I love keeping an art/travel journal and this inspired me so much. Absolutely loved watching this one!
  • @bripuck976
    ah i loved this video and this sketchbook so much!! i absolutely love it when people use sketchbooks as a kind of visual journal / notebook of their travels. it reminds me of old school explorers who would document their journey in little sketches and field notes. so cool. also "i brought way too many art supplies" is so relatable hahaha every trip/hike/camp ive ever been on i think ive taken more art supplies than what i need 😅
  • @newflanged_

    I’ve been following your videos and Patreon for a while. I just came back in time to watch this… I grew up on San Juan Island! So glad it could be a place of inspiration and healing for you. Thanks for all the fun inspiration.

  • @mereldjamila
    Your travel sketchbook pages look really nice and I love how I'm drawn towards both your work and the atmosphere of the trip. It sounds like you had such a great time and the environment looks so wonderful! It also inspires me for my next trip through Europe. I want to take my sketchbook and paints along and capture it as well :)
