Why a travel theme is so enjoyable to color
Travel is full of color: the ochre-yellow walls of a Moroccan medina, the deep blue of the sea off a Greek island, the warm glow of a street café in Rome. It's exactly those rich color contrasts that make travel motifs so rewarding to fill in. As you complete section after section, your thoughts naturally drift back to beautiful places — or ahead to your next trip. It's a mindful hour just for yourself, without a screen and without any rush. New to this hobby? Then start by reading our starter guide for beginners.

Which size and how many colors should you choose?
Sizes range from a compact 30×40 cm to a generous 60×80 cm. For a travel theme above the sofa or dining table, a larger size often looks better, because you see more of the atmosphere and detail. For the colors, you have three levels:
| Number of colors | Level | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 24 colors | Essential | Beginner-friendly, quicker to finish, gentle transitions |
| 36 colors | Detailed | A nice middle ground between detail and pace |
| 48 colors | Premium | Most refined, smoothest color gradients |

Two canvases, one mood: beautiful as a diptych
The clever thing about a set is that the two canvases share the same palette. Hang them side by side and you get a cohesive diptych above your sofa, bed or dining table — two pictures that feel like one whole. A travel theme works especially well for this: two images of the same destination tell a little story together. And because you only need one set of pens, it's great value too.
