- Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
And welcome to Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
I went for a walk with my sketchbook in my bag, looking for a nice place to sit and draw. I realized that this might just be the last sunny fall drawing outside this year, so I decided to share the process with you.

I really enjoyed that. Thank you🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful piece. Very nice
I very much enjoyed watching you create and explain the process. Thank you
Love this thank you.
So easy but not!!! Thank you! So beautiful.
Love watching and listening to your process, thank u for sharing. Also wanted to say have just started reading your book, and it’s fantastic, inspirational and motivating, and am only a wee bit through!!! Love it xx
That's wonderful, thank you!
❤❤❤ your voice is calming, thank you for sharing. Love the process
I love your style. Thank you for sharing the process with us ❤️
Excellent video, I’m looking forward to more videos 😊
Perfect little sketch! Some artists get nervous working outdoors among people, but once you get into the flow of things, it's easy to focus on the drawing and just enjoy the process. We are seeing more and more artists carrying fountain pens for sketching! The line quality produced by a fountain nib is so expressive, yet really as precise as most would need it to be. A good pen also adds a touch of classic elegance to the kit, and really makes the artist feel confident and serious! A piston converter is a great pen accessory, BTW- it's a little syringe that fits like a refill, which lets you use any fountain-safe ink. A converter is good for flushing your pens between colors, too (only cool water, never hot!)
Thanks for the tips!
I love that Blick is supportive on RUclips, you're doing it right!
So inspiring!
Your talent is amazing. I bought your book and love it. A lot of content. One of those books you want to start at beginning and not skip around. Good job. Thank you.
Talent = putting a lot of time in it! I am happy to read you like my book. Thanks!
Really lovely. Beautiful light. I love the lively way you added color to the sky.
Thank you so much
You inspire me to draw. Thank you. I love to watch you put pen and water color to paper. ❤
I'm glad I can give a gentle push with my videos!
Love the Video and the Inspiration. And i Love your Style 💚
I have learnt so much in this video. Thank you immensely.
Glad it was helpful!
Two really great things I learned. Grey in an object you want to recede and use the same colors to mix all of your other colors so that they marry well. Thank you so much!
Check! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much loved the process and the way of getting a sense of place ❤
You're welcome!
I am lucky enough to be visiting Australia and I have already done two sketches. So exciting for me. You are encouraging me to add people. I will try that today! Thank you for your inspiration.
Have fun, and safe travels!
I hope you're enjoying Australia - it's very wet here in some places!
Thank you so much for sharing this process. I want to go out and urban sketch but never know where to start. This has really helped.
Put on your shoes, grab your coat. Pacl your sketchbook and a pen, and go!
So nice. I love your calm explanations. 😊
Thanks!
Hi dear Koosje ! I think it was an hour well spent as they say ! I really love the freshness of your drawings ! Always bring a smile to my face ! It was nice seeing a place I visited before Covid with my husband ! We’ve been to the Netherlands quite a few times and always enjoy it ! One of my favourite places is Delft ! I love the antique shops and galleries which are so inspiring and fun ! I send you love and blessing and sincere thanks for sharing your work and time ! Lorraine 😁🥰🎨 PS... You always look so pretty ! 🤗
Thank you Lorraine!
I just love your Draw Tip Tuesday tutorials! 😁🎉 Thanks for sharing them with us… I think your a wonderful teacher.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I loved how you went through all the steps in creating this beautiful painting. It really helps to see the actual process, which makes it less scary and doable. I especially like knowing your thought process as you sketch and paint . Plus, you sketched and painted in a very relaxing manner. That's important to me, when I'm learning art techniques and processes from an artist. Thank you so much .
Glad it was helpful! And being relaxed as you draw is key. Drawing is something we do for fun, so let's relax about wonky lines or "mistakes". So what if you don't finish the drawing or if you mess up the perspective. Sit down and take in your surroundings, and allow yourself to play! Yay!
@@KoosjeKoene Thank you!
@@KoosjeKoene Thank you so much.
Thankyou Koosje . Great video. I learned a lot from it. Great finished painting!
Enjoying your wonderful book. Just finished reading it for the second time. It would be a good gift for the sketcher in your life.
🎁💕
Thank you Kate!
great urban sketch, nice snapshot in time 🙂
I love your videos, thank you for making them for all of us to enjoy. 😊
This is wonderful! I especially love the treatment of the trees and leaves! I struggle with trees, so this gives me an idea for another way to approach them. Thanks so much! Happy Tuesday!
A playful approach can help with that struggle. Have fun!
Really enjoyed this! Just found this accidentally, and am now following! Loved your narration throughout your process. Thank you.
Thanks for following!
Thank you for sharing the process; well explained. I always struggle to know where to start, and how big to draw the first things. Obviously as one continues there are "landmarks" to help decide the next line, proportion, etc.
Yes, those landmarks are key. And trusting your eyes. And letting go of perfection. And have fun!
Hi, thankyou for the video. I think it's just what I needed to get myself back into drawing. I love the way you showed each step as you went.
I've never tried watercolours, but, if I can get my drawing back to something reasonable, I might give it a try. Best wishes from Australia!
I did two sketches when I was out today, thanks to you, both standing on a path. Thank you for the encouragement.
That's wonderful! Well done.
My colorblind self couldn't really distinguish the different colors you made but it did help me focus on your explanation of how and why you're mixing them. Learned a lot!
That's tricky, but I am glad it was still helpful.
Thank you - enjoyed this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing about how long it took you to complete your drawing. Often times watching these videos I forget they are edited down or sped up to fit the shorter time of the video. I sometimes get frustrated when I feel I should be able to do my art faster.
I know what you mean! But even if you would take a lot longer - that's fine too. Everyone has their own pace, and there is no right or wrong!
❤
I love it!!
First things first: draw, draw, draw. And have fun!
Another fabulous painting Koosje! I love it. I still get intimidated doing urban sketching but need to get over it. Sitting on a bench is a good idea because you don't need so much stuff with you. Cx
You can do it! Bring the absolute minimum of tools so you don't need to decide on the spot what to use. Just start drawing with what you have.And start drawing right away before your inner critic takes over and starts overthinking.
my favorite video so far!
Wow, thanks!
Learned a lot from this video…particularly your use of water colors. Could you expand on your choice of colors and the different size pans that expands your color choices. Also…concerning your location choice - do you think about feeling safe before you start? Thank you.
The color choices are preferences that I learned over the years. Very personal preferences - everyone has their own. And for the size of the pans: to fit all the colors I wanted into the watercolor box, I had to add a few half pans instead of full pans. So I the colors that I use most are in full pans, and the colors I don't need as much of (just a dab of red, for example, already is a lot of pigment, but the cerulean blue isn't that pigmented so I need more paint when I use it)
And as for feeling safe: I make sure I have my bag close to me, so no one can take it without me noticing it. And when I choose to sit somewhere for an hour, I make sure it's not infested by rats or bugs or whatever.
I hope this answers your question.
Thank you so much for this video. What sketchbook did you use?
All materials are listed in the description of the video. Hahnemühle Nostalgie A6
Dear Koosje really appreciate this video. But I have one question. I love Derwent Water Brush pens as well, but I have found they seem to suck up colour and take ages to get clean again. So, do you take more than one for when you change from say brown tones to clear yellows? Thank you, if you have time❤
Hi Albertine,
I don't use Derwent waterbrushes. Maybe you could try a different brand?
I clean my waterbrush every time I dip into one of my paint pans. My palette stays relatively clean that way. Especially for the lighter colors like yellow, I like it clean(ish). It does indeed mean that I do tend to run out of water in my waterbrush sometimes, but often I have water with me anyway (to stay hydrated), so I can simply refill from my bottle.
I do often have a second waterbrush with me, so I can keep painting and don't need to dirsupt my flow by refilling the waterbrush container.
@@KoosjeKoene thank you so much for your detailed reply. I think I will need to be more careful about letting the brush 'suck up' the heavier paint ❤❤❤ Your videos are an inspiration ❤❤❤
@@KoosjeKoene Another tip so you don't run out of water: The flat version of the Pentel Waterbrush has a bigger barrel (you can fill more water in than in the regular ones) but the barrel also fits the regular brush part because of interchangeable thread, you can put the bigger barrel on your medium or skinny brush.
Hoi Koosje! Top video! Can you please help me? I want to use the Fude pen but can’t find the converter or cartridges for it. It would really mean a lot! Thanks!
I don’t know where you are in the world but you can probably order them online.
Do you have the sailor fude de mannen fountain pen?
Then search online for “Sailor Fountain Pen Converter” and/or “sailor fountain pen ink cartridges” (the cartridges will not be waterproof ink)
@@KoosjeKoene ik kom gewoon uit Nederland, maar ik dacht dat andere volgers misschien ook hetzelfde probleem hadden. Ik heb de donkerblauwe Sailor Fude. Wat heb jij er in?
@@ellendeman8417 Ik gebruik de converter. En ik heb ook eenzelfde pen waarin ik inktpatronen gebruik. Met een waterkwastje kan ik dan spelen met de niet-watervaste inkt.
@@KoosjeKoene ik ga er achteraan. Bedankt!

Simple and effective
Can the calligraphy pens be used by left-handed people?
I think so, yes.
