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.

Artistic Journeys: Sketchbook Tour

Artistic Journeys: Sketchbook Tour

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Join me as I flip through the pages of my sketchbook, showing the pages I filled during my travels to Switzerland and Lisbon, Portugal, and back home as well.

I sketched with friends in the Swiss Alps as well as in the vibrant streets of Lisbon. Each drawing tells a unique story of my experiences and encounters.

In today's sketchbook tour, I'll share the inspiration behind the drawings, things I learned, and approaches I took.

I was in Lisbon to prep for a workshop I will be teaching in April 2024, together with Cynthia Morris. There's limited availability of seats for this upcoming workshop, "Capture the Lisbon Wow." This workshop is designed to help you unlock your creative potential and translate the wonders of Lisbon into your sketchbook.

This is a unique opportunity to learn, create, and immerse yourself in the art of capturing the essence of a place through your drawings. You can reserve your spot now for the "Capture the Lisbon Wow" workshop, as the tickets go really fast: https://www.originalimpulse.com/capture-lisbon-wow-sketchbook-workshop/
