Hi there, I’m Koosje!

pronounced "Kōsha”

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.

Join my Live Online Mini-Workshop: February 4

Join my Live Online Mini-Workshop: February 4

There's another live online Mini-Workshop coming up on Wednesday February 4. I’d love for you to join.

If you’ve joined a Mini-Workshop before, you know how much fun they are. When you draw together, you get inspired, you inspire, and learn from each other.

In our January session at the beginning of this month, I was enchanted by the blanket of snow that covered my surroundings (for just about a week - and then it was gone!). So we went on a virtual urban sketching trip in Amersfoort, where I live, and we explored how to capture snowy scenes. Here's one of the drawings I made during the session. I love the black-and-white simplicity.

For the February session, I will be coming up with another fun challenge and assignment for us to work on.

Go to the Luma Page to reserve your spot now.

We'll gather on Zoom for a 90-minute session of drawing and creativity. I’ll guide you with instructions and an assignment, and by the end, we’ll have a "show & tell" where you can share your work, ask questions, and get inspired by others. Sharing is optional; feel free to keep your drawings to yourself if you prefer!

The session will be recorded

If you can’t make it live, no worries! If you signed up, you'll receive an email with a link to the recorded video of the session within 24 hours after the Mini-Workshop.

Set aside this time just for you:
This is your chance to unwind and focus on your art. No special supplies are needed. Just bring your favorite tools and a sketchbook.

I hope to see you on Zoom!
