Off the Beaten Path: Southeast Asia

Temples, Markets, and Wildlife to Colour and Explore.

The Joys of Travel. Created by Jean-François Chénier (New Westminster, BC)

For me, travel isn't about rushing from sight to sight. It's about slowing down, getting off the beaten path, and taking the time to find beauty in what is easily overlooked. 

Southeast Asia has endless visual riches to explore: morning offerings and temple gardens in Bali, hornbill and macaque food thieves in Malaysia, golden Buddhas and night markets in Bangkok, colourful temples and markets in Singapore..and so much more.

This adult colouring book is an invitation to travel slowly through the region with me. Every illustration began as a photograph and is rendered as a line drawing you can bring to life with colour. For each, I've added short notes that capture the spirit of the scene and a link to the photo that inspired it.
