Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
How do you capture greens in your sketchbook?
There is not just one way of doing it, so in todays video, I am combining a whole lot, by playing, experimenting and making a bit of a colorful mess. And isn't that exactly what creativity is all about? Discovering things along the way. Enjoy all the variety, watching nature and capturing it your way.
Materials used in this video:
-Hahnemuhle Nostalgie A5 sketchbook
-Pentel Pocket Brushpen
-Caran d'Ache Neocolor 1 waterproof crayons
-Daniel smith watercolors
-Pentel waterbrush
Website for with videos of views from all around the world:
window-swap.com
(buy them a coffee so they can keep going!)
I am writing a book about drawing and, currently trying to find a publisher for it. If you'd like to get an update about the progress every now and then, then leave your email address here:

The crayon under the watercolour is great. I’m going to try that. You make it look deceptively easy but your sense of design and colour together with your artist’s eye produce wonderful sketches. Thankyou for the inspirition I always feel when I watch your videos Koojse. ❤️🙏🎨🐋🐓🐕🐇🐀🐈🌲🦉

Sketching is so relaxing when it is just loose and playful like this. Thanks.

I love the idea of putting in the darks with the black brush pen, then adding the greens over. I just put my Pentel brush pen back in my sketch bag.. thanks!

This was a fun and timely video. Our backyard is quite lush with many varieties of green. Lots of overgrown trees and shrubs, ferns, lillies and ground cover. I've made a few sketches in the last two weeks and using wax crayons as part of the process does create some fun effects. So far, I've usually first begun with a rough sketch using an H pencil but I think I'm going to do my next one (I've already picked out the view that I want) using a black brush pen. Thanks for the continued inspiration, Koosje!

Hahaha! I saw your window drawing from the other video before watching this one and knowing you live in the Netherlands, I thought: oh! This looks so much like my place! Does Netherlands also have this type of neighborhoods? And then you show us that this window view is from Canada! live in Montreal but that could be either on the Montreal’s island or in one of its banlieues. That is funny! I am so thankful I found you from the Sketchbook Skool. I enjoy watching your videos. You are inspiring. I find that sketching even for 10 or 20 minutes a day is the light of my day. Thank you and have a great weekend! Salutations de Montréal.

This looks like a fun sketch. I really enjoyed how you worked your way from the basic shapes to shadows and lights to build the image. Also I didn't realise it was a video at the end and thought it was a photo until the bicyclists came into the frame :D Fun surprise. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!

Lovely and vibrant sketch. I'm loving being immersed in greens too. It's wonderful at the moment and have used it as inspiration, but this serves as extra motivation to mix it up and paint even more. Thank you!

I just felt like I needed to comment my mistake, about a mistake that I did while I was so focused on my drawing.. I was just drawing the trees like you were when I noticed that you left some of the trees so that you can water colour to show that they were trees,… And I just drew them… 😐. But mistakes happen and I guess if I water colour over it, It will look better? There’s no harm in trying! Just felt like I needed to write this!

Hello Koosje, I’m really enjoying your videos. Could you tell me what brush pen you are using. It seems to have very fine lines and thick. Thank you. Great video

@KoosjeKoene 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a Pentel waterbrush. Materials are listed below the video.

Hi Kosha. I have only recently subscribed but long enough to have enjoyed plenty of your DTTs. I don't usually do urban sketching but I would like to journal my upcoming vacations. Your vids are a great help and teach me to have a much more relaxed approach. I really enjoyed this one and the other you made on forgetting perspective. Will you keep on posting during the summer months?

@KoosjeKoene 3 жыл бұрын

When traveling, there is nothing better tan to record your memories and experiences visually in your sketchbook! It's your best travel companion. I'll be posting when I can, so yes, also during summer!
