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.

Wax resist is a fun watercolor technique that's easier than it looks. Using wax crayons (or even a candle) I show how wax will block watercolor which creates texture, highlights and sparkle effects. And: what to do with mistakes when adding text! Also, a drawing assignment so you can try wax resist yourself.
Koosje Koene shows the colors she uses most (watercolors, colored pencils, crayons, gouache) and why you do not need to buy the same colors.

Stuck with a blank sketchbook page? In this video I share a playful way to start drawing using a light watercolor wash. A simple color base helps you loosen up, stop overthinking, and draw what is right in front of you with more confidence and ease.
Playing with tempera sticks today! They’re like glue sticks, but filled with colorful paint. Fun but tricky! I test out the blob method, make some surprising discoveries (did I just paint a Smurf?), and figure out what works. This week’s challenge: grab a tool you’re unsure about and just play! Love it or hate it, it's all part of the creative process.
