Drawing On Location (a.k.a. Urban Sketching)

[@jeanbCA]

Like others, I really like the 2-minute increments with your descriptions. The perfect pace for me! Thank you 💙

[@madebylora]

I really liked the 2 minute stages with voice over! It was a great way to see your process, but also feels like a more “accessible” way of doing something similar myself when sketching out and about, rather than trying to set up a camera to record the whole process. Thanks for sharing this!

[@donnabuttons1]

Loved this format, thank you 😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yenlinhtran69]

Someday I can’t let loose and end up not drawing. These pictures of progression actually are very helpful.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Oh no! I hope when that happens, you can remind yourself that a “bad” drawing is better than no drawing at all.

[@greenclouds1558]

so satisfying to see the page been filled up with elements of things. beautifully done

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you like it!

[@Zeeem99]

Love the result.

[@anuveg]

I love how you framed the drawing. Sometimes I have trouble deciding what part of the view to keep and what to leave out. Also, love how you kept the foreground white and simplified the details like the windows. So many good tips. Thank you!❤

[@KoosjeKoene]

I would say just follow your instinct or bliss when taking decisions. It’s a drawing and nothing bad will happen if the decision wasn’t the best. You’ll learn from it

[@anuveg]

Thank you! That is the ultimate thing to keep in mind that nothing bad will happen and you flip the page and make another drawing. I learned from you to loosen up when drawing people and it doesn’t matter if the drawing does not look like the person. Now I really enjoy drawing people. They look about 50-80% similar and that is ok😊

[@russelltimmins1870]

I always look forward to your latest sketch. I love the way you have done this one with the stills And how you explain the lines and colours used. Great!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thank you very much! Glad it’s helpful.

[@robynbeattie7185]

It’s lovely! I’m like a sponge listening to you.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks for listening and watching

[@danalynnthompson5351]

This was very inspirational! The 2 minute pictures showing the process were a great idea. Thank you for this!

[@KoosjeKoene]

You’re very welcome

[@jl2you]

Thank you Koosje for this new video. I love this "slideshow" way to explain the progression. In my opinion, the understanding of each step is more global with better impact.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you liked it!

[@samanthavyeahthatsme7040]

I really liked this 2 minute choppy idea. Also excellent job on this scene! You’ve inspired me to finally try this 🙂 I’ve watched many of your videos for some time now. I really enjoy all of them and I find your voice very soothing💜

[@KoosjeKoene]

Go for it!

[@moshkizzle]

Love it! You inspire me to draw more from life and in general. I love your easy going approach to drawing.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Go for it!

[@gabrielgrisales7591]

Excelente.. gracias

[@ChantelleArts]

that fluorescent pink pencil looks really fun! 😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

It really is!

[@paulalovesart4545]

Thank you for this, and I am so glad I found your channel and subscribed! This is so fun to watch the process like you did it. Perfect! Paula

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@ruthloewen3884]

Cool approach. Not sure I like the pink checkerboard that remains at the end though. But then I'm a watercolourist and not fond of coloured pencil.

[@alohafromhh8758]

I love your wall in the background :) it is lovely. Thank you for sharing your process in 2 minute increments :)

[@KoosjeKoene]

You are so welcome!

[@Bronzato]

You're a great teacher!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thank you!

[@antoniomonteiro1203]

Lisbon! I don't need a plane ticket. I'll just need to drive! :D

[@KoosjeKoene]

Excellent. Are you joining?

[@nancydb1390]

Enjoyed this method very much.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Great to hear!

[@sherylpond7698]

It was very helpful. Better than a video!❤

[@KoosjeKoene]

Oh good!

[@Anders.B]

Great video and sketch. I just ordered your book this morning before work from the Great British Bookstore. Looking forward to reading it. Thank you.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks so much!

[@cindyhorton6980]

Absolutely Amazing!!!!

[@KoosjeKoene]

☺️

[@janenuse1051]

I love this!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thank you!

[@annagray4208]

I enjoyed the video but love to see you actually painting more

[@KoosjeKoene]

Good to know

[@MsAlliances]

Thank you Koosje, very good video.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you like it.

[@divyasubramaniam9305]

Ur so good 👏 I love this and it's super helpful 🤗

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you think so!

[@Payal_mathur]

Love the video format and the color choices! Also, Stillman and Birn Delta series is my favorite sketchbook series. I love the slightly creamy tone of the paper and the way it takes watercolor. The 3x5 portrait is my favorite format. The small page size is easy to fill up as well.😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

I can see why it’s your favorite!

[@maddietighe5881]

You're awesome. Thanks for sharing this. PS. I have your book and if I was rich I'd join you on a trip!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Wow, thank you!

[@DotyML]

I am waiting for your book to arrive here in the Midwest. Our season has just changed and I feel so inspired to go outside and sketch! Fall is my favorite time of year!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Sounds great!

[@lizajohnstone4967]

Lovely to listen to and watch your thought process and decisions

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you like it.

[@wandamcdonald6095]

I love the way you used stills to present this one .... almost prefer this to the standard form of videos. Well done, really like this one. I also use a Fude pen...great for sketching! Love your draw tip Tuesdays. And yes I have your book, got it last year have completely read it a few times and keep it on my coffee table.

[@KoosjeKoene]

So glad you like the video, and I love it that you have read my book more than once!

[@VivekPatwardhan]

Simple and inspiring! Thanks

[@KoosjeKoene]

You are so welcome!

[@Papercitystudio]

Amazing TwT

[@christopherstables1009]

A great insight into your sketching technique. Lovely sketch. How was the salad?

[@KoosjeKoene]

It was really good. Thanks!

[@SpiritPhoenixRose]

Your drawings always look so fabulous 💕 + It's good to try new things but hope you go back to your usual format (if you want to): This felt too "talky" and static and my attention wandered (sorry!) 📚 It's been 3 weeks since I ordered ~ hopefully your book will arrive soon! So excited to get it! 🎊

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks I like mixing things up when creating content. I hope you don’t need to wait too long anymore for my book to arrive.

[@Abbs_Bee]

It is nice but why you don't draw? I mean I would like to see you drawing the lines

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks for watching anyway! I have explained why, in the intro. If you like to see me draw the lines, there are plenty of other videos on my channel to watch.
