In this video I’m diving into a super colourful Amalfi Coast-inspired session, but with a very practical goal: testing Ohuhu Honolulu Plus alcohol markers versus the Ohuhu Pupe paper-friendly water-based markers for journaling and mixed media. I start with a big unboxing haul, then I swatch both ranges so you can actually see how the colours behave, how the tips feel, and what kind of finish you get on paper. After the swatches, I move into the fun part: sketching my travel memories and turning them into an illustrated travel journal moment—lemons, Mediterranean vibes, and that “romanticise your life” energy I’m always chasing. I use the Honolulu Plus for an illustration and mixed media artwork, then I switch to the Pupe markers for a travel journal spread, focusing on how friendly they are on journal paper. I also try the Kamakou marker pad, which is designed for marker work, and I wrap everything up with final considerations so you can choose the right tool depending on whether you’re building a travel journal spread, layering mixed media, or just want reliable markers that feel good to use.
