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.

Urban Sketching Made Simple

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you how you can virtually travel and draw. We used Google Earth to travel anywhere in the word.

Today, I'd love to take you on a trip yet again. This time, we'll be using the website window-swap.com. On this website, people from all over the world are submitting videos, recorded from their windows. Let's find a window with a view to sketch. It'll feel like you're visiting someone at their home in Turkey, the UK, the US, Sweden or wherever you choose to go, and stare out of their window to draw the view.

Materials used in this video:
-Edding 3000 permanent marker
-Daniel Smith Watercolors
-Pentel Aquash waterbrush

If you'd like to visit the same window as I did for today's video, then go here: https://www.window-swap.com/share.html?id=791812636

Don't forget to put the video on a loop if you want your view to last longer than the standard 10 minutes.

I've used the window-swap views a few times now, and one time I did forget to put it on loop. At first I was so disappointed that I lost my window, but then I just started combining the next window with the one I had been drawing. This is the result - a unique non-existing window with a view in California and Arizona.
