Urban Sketching With Minimal Supplies

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Let's take urban sketching to a whole new level in this week's Draw Tip Tuesday!
Who says you need a truckload of gear to create awesome art? Come with me to the park with just a pen, water brush, and watercolor pencil.
We'll explore drawing nature in the city park, while embracing wonkiness and celebrating every mark we make. From sketching leaves to splashing reflections and yummy markmaking... it's all about the process. Take time for yourself and your sketchbook - without any overwhelm about which tool to choose.
Get creative with minimal tools and maximum fun!
Grab your sketchbook and play.
Don't forget to subscribe and join me on Patreon for extra tips and tricks.
Materials used in this video:
-Handbook journal - Watercolor pocket panorama, 3.5”x8.25” from the travelogue series
-Sailor fude fountain pen with 55degree calligraphy nib, with watersoluble black ink
-Caran d'Ache Supracolor II soft watercolor pencil, black
-Pentel Aquash waterbrush

I felt blocked until 5 days ago I hide all my art supplies. Now on my desk I have only an ordinary pen and cheap paper. My creativity is on another level. :D

[@KoosjeKoene]

Excellent!!

[@susannenemet4647]

That scene would overwhelm me. It is so good to see how you make it possible! Thanks!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad to hear that!

[@michaelinglis3566]

Good morning Koosje , another lovely and inspirational video . Unfortunately I have reached the age when my mobility is severely restricted so I am unable to venture outside , but , no big deal !!! I simply "borrow" your reference photo and I am able to join you on the river bank . Thank you so much , roll on next Tuesday !! Mike in Exeter UK xx

[@KoosjeKoene]

Here's a wild idea: you could go on a mini-adventure inside your home and draw some kind of view inside!

[@QuiltingCrow]

You are not alone! I am bed-bound and love to explore places with Google and KZbin. Sometimes I just paint from imagination.

The internet is FULL of live webcams and window views. You can travel the world!

[@michaelinglis3566]

@@KoosjeKoene Thank you for your reply , Koosje , my home is probably the most sketched site in the world !! I have a small terrace which I access from my kitchen and if I can get there I will have a lot more subjects , I just need the rain to stop !!!!!! xx

[@alejandrochanes4738]

Amazing video, Koosje!!!

[@tomnridesYTB]

Totally worth 10 minutes time watching, listening to decision making/drawing process, whys and whats.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I hope you added another 10 minutes to draw in your sketchbook!

[@mariabergman3813]

I'm inspired Koosje! I love this stress-less sketching experience! I will try at my local park tomorrow!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Go for it!

[@albertine2169]

Your work is always so full of joyful marks, so 🌟 🤩 After seeing you use it, I put a sailor fude on my Christmas list a couple of years ago. I love it. Thank you, as always Kooje ❤

[@KoosjeKoene]

Wonderful!

[@AleeshaSattva]

I highly recommend her book!!!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks Aleesha!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you, Koosje. This was great! I am eagerly looking forward to your book, which I just ordered, to arrive on my doorstep 😊!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@buddhabro.9130]

Hi Koosje. How fortuitous you posted this subject matter today. I go out to draw and paint 2 or 3 times a week and bring way too much Stuff. My backpack gets so heavy with materials I don't use on that day.😂 Thanks for the tip on how to lighten the load. 😁🙏

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sannee3715]

Wonderful. I like to see more landscapedrawing with this materials❤

[@velvetbees]

Your sketch is lovely. Thanks for the video.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks for watching!

[@SeanvanderM]

I think my minimal kit would consist of my Ackerman Zebra G fountain pen with waterproof ink, an Aquash waterbrush and either a Pentel Color Brush grey or my tiny watercolour set.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Sounds like a great kit!

[@zoeypf]

Thank you so much for sharing! 😊 I feel inspired.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I'm so glad!

[@annburlin2903]

Thank you for this great tip. I ❤ your sketch and I'll try this today.

[@KoosjeKoene]

How did it work out for you?

[@ullabonderup]

That book has been life changing for me. No more no less!

[@KoosjeKoene]

yay!

This is so inspiring! I'm going to dig out my fountain pen and get it working again...

[@KoosjeKoene]

Have fun!

[@MadDogGiraffe]

Inspired, thanks Koosja; of to buy some water soluble ink now. Have a good day.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Have fun!

[@gordonjenkins1646]

A good one, made me think differently, ta .

[@KoosjeKoene]

Great!

[@JRose-zk1ni]

This has been SUPER helpful Koosje!! I'm so excited to go outside to try this. I'm REALLY looking forward to taking your one day sketch class in May! I've already signed up too!! 🙂. I would LOVE to attend your Paris drawing group but I wouldn't understand seeing it's being taught in dutch. If you ever do another meet up in Paris though and it's in either french or english, I'm THERE!! Thank you so much for all your sharing Koosje!!

[@KoosjeKoene]

You’ll enjoy this setup outside. Teaching in French is not an option since my french sucks but a Paris workshop in English is not unthinkable

[@JRose-zk1ni]

[@jeanettegeldenhuys5050]

Loved this lesson. Great ideas. Feeling super charged to EVENTUALLY start. Greetings from a sunny South Africa. Why don't you visit my beautiful country. You will love it here. Lots to sketch. Table Mountain. Disa flowers at the bottom. National flower Giant Protea + Fauna & Flora. Climate super.😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

I have been to South Africa, it was indeed beautiful.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Great to hear!

[@mariabergman3813]

Also!.. How does the Caran D'Ache Supercolor watercolor pencil compare to the "Museum" line? thanks!

I don’t know because I never tried the museum line
