Hi there, I’m Koosje!

pronounced "Kōsha”

I’m an artist and creative entrepreneur living in the Netherlands. I love drawing and I do it every day. On this website, I hope to inspire you to develop a drawing practice too, because it can make you feel good.

How To Bring Depth And Liveliness Into Your Drawings

How To Bring Depth And Liveliness Into Your Drawings

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

If I may say so myself, today’s video is a big one. It's so much more than a regular Draw Tip. It's a class! And still, it's just 15 minutes; so you'll have time to draw after watching.

By answering a frequently asked question, I am sharing some of the "secrets" artists and designers use, which you now can start implementing in your drawings too, to bring more depth and life into your drawings.


Materials used in this video:
-Faber-Castell PITT oil based black pencil
-Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook, size A5
-Daniel Smith watercolors and a Pentel Aquash waterbrush

As I said, this is a big one, a lesson, a mini-class. I teach live online mini-workshops every month, which everyone can join. I would love to see you there.
