Koosje Koene | Draw Tip Tuesday
Нидерланды
Добавлен 18 мар 2010
Hey, I'm Koosje (pronounced "Koshah"), and I am an artist with over 10 years experience helping people to do more of what makes them happy: drawing.
Drawing makes me happy, and I want to show you how you can feel happier too, by allowing yourself time to play and learn in your sketchbook. My mission is to get you going and to keep going on their creative journey.
With this mission in mind, I started my weekly series "Draw Tip Tuesday" here on RUclips in 2013, to share things I learn on my own creative path, so we can grow and learn together. I co-founded Sketchbook Skool, a global art-making community.
In 2020 she self-published her first book Life Is Better When You Draw It, an illustrated book for people who love drawing and need inspiration. It's about how drawing can make you happy and mindful.
If you like my Draw Tip Tuesday videos, you'll probably also like my monthly live online mini-workshops on Zoom (www.koosjekoene.com/workshops).

The Caffeinated Sketchbook
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
In today's video, I'm sharing a fun and creative technique inspired by my friend Cynthia Morris that brings together two of my favorite things: coffee and drawing!
I'll demonstrate several techniques on how to break the curse of the blank page using coffee stains as a fun artistic tool. Whether you're in a cozy café or on a peaceful camping trip, learn how to turn your morning cup of coffee into an art material for your sketchbook practice.
I also have an exciting announcement! Cynthia and I are leading the "Capture the Lisbon Wow" workshop again in April 2025. After an incredible experience this year, we're thrilled to invite you to join us in Lisbon for a lif...

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! This week, I'm excited to share a special "side sketchbook" I used on my trip to Switzerland. Of course I brought the daily sketchbook I was working in then, but it's a bit heavy. Since I was traveling and hiking, I needed something light and portable, so I brought along my Hannemühle Zigzag Book. This accordion-style sketchbook was perfect along with some simple to...

How Long Does It Take To Make A Drawing?

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! In today's video, I’m addressing a frequently asked question: "How long does it take to make a drawing?" Whether my artwork takes hours or just a few minutes, I'll share insights and examples from my drawing archive, as well as the time it took to create each piece. One common and stubborn misconception is that you need hours and a perfectly set-up workspace to crea...

Treat Yourself by Drawing In a Café
What about safeguarding your art and portfolio from AI - scraping and training? Other than Glaze and Nightshade?
Fantastic.
Please post more videos like this and make them longer - it is so relaxing listening to you sharing knowledge.
Many years ago I took a watercolor course in college. I barely passed. Now with all the many materials available PLUS your fun instructions I’m learning whole new methods and having FUN. I even paint the envelopes for my rent checks just to make the paying less painful😊
Thank you! Let the fun begin!
Black coffee
You look so chic!
So cool.
Your work makes me smile and I'm excited to read your book!
What lovely illustrations you do Koosje! You are so talented and I am full of admiration. X
Very fun…who knew…from sloppy to artsy…☕️
I used to do this all the time - every time I drew at a cafe! Although, I was concerned about the sugars on the page later... (bugs etc in my sketchbook) so I stopped.
Thank you Koosje, like your work
I suppose that you don’t put sugar in your coffee ?
❤😊
Koosje, thank you for all your lovely ideas. I love your videos and your style of sketching. .The squeezy thingy is called a "pipette" Cheers from Australia, Muffy from Oz.
Oh wow, this is so inspiring - thank you so much! And I love the joy and enthusiasm on your face while talking about this creative idea! It seems like coming right of your heart 💖💫
I do this too! I order a short espresso which is very strong and use it as paint with my brush to fill in, splatter and do rings. I like sketching in coffee shops so do it often. Our local Urban Sketchers Cincinnati group even has a group sketch once a month in a different coffee shop location, along with a special stamp URbean Sketchers for the occasion.
I love that!
Didn't look great at first, but then it really came together in the end! I love and envy your minimal use of color. I try to apply it to my sketches as well, but it doesn't come naturally. I'm sure I would have colored more and more areas, and would not have achieved the minimalistic and simply results that you did. I hope to get better at that. Great video!
If you have a sense of where you want your focus to be in your drawing, that can help to decide (and minimise) on color.
I also love to go out , get a coffee and draw….and I sometimes have a fear of the clean blank page….will definitely be trying this…thanks for the inspiration 😊
It'll be fun.
I do it by accident 😂 and I just keep drawing over it. Happy accidents. Thanks😊
Keep spilling!
What fun!!😂❤
So fun!
What looks like a cold day your process made it warm
not sure if tomato sauce is usable ... but I'll try anyway
Only 1 way to find out!
@@ingeleonora-denouden6222 😁
I can just see you at the local coffee shop and the expressions on faces while you play in your coffee
Haha oh yes I tend to turn heads with tis "technique" LOL
People love it!
I would not use cream or sugar in the coffee, that would probably invite bugs and mold. I bet you could use burnt umber to replicate this. Just saying, if you dont drink coffee. Ah, thank you, youre getting my creative juices....drinks, flowing! Lol (bugs are a big problem in Southeast US, ants especially)
Great alternative of course! (mixing a whole lot of watercolor and splashing that around would work as well. colored ink... etc)
@@KoosjeKoene playtime! Lol
Okay. No problem! I am so clumsy to start. I spilled coffee on a library book about 25 years ago. I ruined it. I went and paid for the damage. They bought a new one. They gave me the ruined book. I should get that out and collage with it. I will just go about my day and not worry about spilling and embrace the beauty of spilled coffee. Lol😂
I love that idea!
Great!❤
I can hear my mother with her strong accent yelling at me about spilling 😂🙉
hahah
❤❤❤I love coffee,
me too
Dirty paint water too
Great alternative for sure.
Such a happy video...love your sketches. My coffee ☕ is waaay too milky...I think I'd have a stinky sketchbook...but my friends drink greek coffees so they had better look out!!! Have a lovely day xx
Cynthia does it with milky coffee too and it works...
@@KoosjeKoene yes you said so in your video and I'm sure it looks great..........( But does it get stinky😬)
I have never had any problems with my milky coffee. It dries and becomes part of the pages.
@@CynthiaMorris no more worrying about spillages then. Thanks for replying 😊
This has a great feel of dadaism! Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you like it!
this is a really fascinating idea!
Try it! Real fun.
Thank you 😊 Would white coffee get mouldy in sketchbook 🤔?
There's only one way to find out, isn't there? Cynthia does it with milky coffee and I never heard her speak about mold.
I’ve never had any kind of problem. However, I live in Colorado where it’s quite arid and mold is rare. Still, I wouldn’t worry about it. It dries quickly.
Merci both 😊
Thanks, Koosje! This looks such fun.
It is!
Dear Koosje, the other day I started to read your book again and was reminded of this exercice. I never thought I would say that, but I LOVE it! I created many non existing family members!
Wonderful!
Excellent demo. And tutorial, more on gallery samples.
Glad you like it.
Hey! It looks like you went to my favourite coffee shop in St. Gallen! Well done for your Säntis hike, I have not done that one.
Their coffee is amazingly good. It's basically the only coffee shop in Sankt Gallen I know where they serve coffee worth drinking haha
Greetings: Very helpful video. Thank you. Please, let us know which fountain ink syringe you use. Sadly that was not included in your gear listed with the video. Cheers…
Which syringe? I use a plastic one from the drugstore or a bulb pipette.
One of your BEST videos, Koosje. So encouraging to see your self doubt, so familiar to all of us... I actually liked your end result very much. Over the years, I learned that I can "fix" almost anything, and in the end it always looks at-least-ok. A friend of mine said that "if you don't love it, it means you're not done with it yet."... That works for me in general. Of course, it's important to not over-work it either.
Your friend is very wise and I might steal that quote "if you don't love it, it means you're not done with it yet.". Love it.
Erg leuk weer. En dat alfabet is briljant, ga ik onthouden voor ons volgende trip.
Het is echt ontzettend leuk - ook niet-tekenaars doen mee om te helpen!
Hi, I was wondering from where you get your Quick Sticks and Seawhite Watercolour A5 journals? Do you have any links to suppliers in the UK? Do you give workshops in the Netherlands? Just finished your book-which has taken my breath away. Congratulations. Stay safe always…
The QuickStix, I picked up at the kid's section in some store years ago. But you'll find them (and/or different brands but similar) online if you look for "gouache sticks" or "tempera sticks" Seawhite of Brighton sketchbooks I buy in an art supply shop in the Netherlands. It is a brand from the UK so I would imagine you should be able to find suppliers in the UK. And online. I do teach workshops in the Netherlands now and then. None are scheduled currently. And thank you for buying my book. I'm happy you like it so much!
I love your sketchbook and encouragement. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed the sketchbook tour. I just made an accordion book recently. Yes Swiss German is challenging! During the 5 years we lived in Germany, we would vacation in the Lauterbrunnen area every Feb.
Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your art and providing some great ideas!
You are so welcome!
Hallo Koosje, really nice ideas for a scketching week. Thanks for this nice video 🎉
Glad you liked it!
Interesting idea regarding carrying a sketch book just for a particular trip. I still would carry my A-5 wherever I go in that I use it as a diary of sorts. Instead of writing what I am doing or going I sketch what I am doing or going and kept it all in chronological order. I do like your work no matter what sketch book you use.
Yes, that's how I use my sketchbook as well. Isn't it a great way of documenting big and small moments? But as I wanted to have a lighter load on the days of hiking, this "side-project" was perfect.
You are always so supportive of sketchers/artists and provide so many wonderful simple and loose methods of illustrating everyday life, journeys, and places, along with ways to avoid judging ourselves, and to relax and enjoy the process. Thank you so much, Koosje!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely accordion memory journal
