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.

Take 5 Minutes

Take 5 Minutes

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Once more I am drawing the little watercolor tube I've been drawing for weeks now - just to prove that it doesn't matter what you draw, but that it's all about the act of drawing.

I did this drawing in just five minutes, but it has given me so much more: a little meditative moment, escaping from everything going on, an interesting moment of studying shades and shapes, and a lot of joy.

Sit down for five minutes and forget everything around you while you get absorbed with the process.

If you like my free weekly videos, then please consider backing me on Patreon. You'll will be helping me to keep consistently making Draw Tip Tuesday videos, and making them available for everyone for free. Thank you for considering to support me, it means a lot!

Materials used in this video:
-Hahnemühle watercolor book size A6
-Lamy Safari fountain with pen nib B, filled with Platinum Carbon Black ink
-Daniel Smith watercolors (Indigo for shading, permanent Red Deep)
