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.

What we think

As artists, beginning or more advanced, we all think people are watching us when we’re drawing in public, and that they must have all kinds of thoughts about what we’re doing (usually negative ones, in our heads). But in reality, people are way too busy thinking about themselves, and what others might be thinking of them!

We are all way too think-y

So remember that you’re just part of the background, and that’s kind of perfect. It means you’re free to focus on your drawing and enjoy the moment.
