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.

Creative Muscle Memory - You've Got It!

Creative Muscle Memory - You've Got It!

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

I am away in August, but I selected a bunch of videos from the archive this month.

Today's video can be helpful if you need to get back into the drawing groove.

You may have been away and got out of the habit of drawing regularly.

If you've been in a bit of a rut, or you feel rusty: you know what to do! Pick up that pen and take time to draw.

You'll notice that you have muscle memory, and before you know it, you are right back into the swing of that wonderful creative flow. Let's do this!

Materials used in this video:

-Hahnemühle ZigZag watercolor Sketchbook, square (14x14 cm)
-Dip pen (cheap no brand)
-Sennelier Indian ink
-Daniel Smith watercolors
-Da Vinci Harbin-Kolonsky brush no.10 -Paper towel


I'll keep reminding you ...

My book "life is better when you draw it" is now available for you to purchase online. It's an illustrated book for people who love drawing and need inspiration. It's about how drawing can make you happy and mindful. In the book, I share ways to embrace the daily sketchbook habit, tips, and lots of drawings from my sketchbooks.
