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.

Capturing Memories In Your Sketchbook

Capturing Memories In Your Sketchbook

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Even though last week I shared a sunny fall video, usually in November, the days are dark and gray here in the Netherlands.

And during those dark days we may spend a lot of time inside, at home. How do you stay inspired then?

Well, you know me: everything is interesting when you draw it - which means inspiration is everywhere. Even a ratty old t-shirt, bought many years ago as a souvenir, can be a very interesting subject to draw, because it can hold memories that you then capture in your drawing.

Let's do this, shall we?
