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.

Accordion Sketchbook Tour

Accordion Sketchbook Tour

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today, I'm sharing a special sketchbook filled during the "Capture the Lisbon Wow" workshop I led with my friend Cynthia Morris. This custom-made accordion sketchbook from Lisbon’s Casa d'Amendoeira is packed with memories, drawings, haikus, collages, and more.

From playing with coffee and drawing pastries to capturing views and people, every page is a piece of Lisbon. If you've got an accordion sketchbook gathering dust, I hope this inspires you to dive in and have fun!

Your assignment for today: grab a pen, draw something, and maybe add a bit of writing. Enjoy the process, and I'll see you next week!

The accordion sketchbook shown in this video was made by book binders Casa d'Amendoeira.
