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 habit too, because it can make you feel good.

Sketchbook Tour And Tips

Sketchbook Tour And Tips

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

I filled another sketchbook!
I draw every day. I prioritise it because it helps me developing my skills and to keep the creative juices going. It makes for a wonderful habit and pages filled with memories. But above all, drawing makes me happy.

I want this for you too. So in today's video, I give you tips and ideas for your sketchbook practice, and how to squeeze some drawing time into your day, even if you think it's impossible. Whether it's an urban sketch, a drawing of your feet on the couch, or a quick doodle... you'll feel better for allowing yourself the time to draw.

In today's tour, I show you pages from the workshop I taught in Germany. If you'd like to take an in-person workshop with me, check out this page here on my website.

Also, make sure to subscribe to my email newsletter, so you'll be the first to know when a new workshop is added to my calendar! Subscribe here.

Sketchbook shown in today's video:
