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.

Letting Go of Perfection

Letting Go of Perfection

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!


Yes, of course I'd like every drawing I make to be the perfect picture. But I know that it's impossible.
There will always be wonkiness, mistakes (or happy accidents), proportions that aren't "right"...
And even though the perfectionist in me tells me that the drawing sucks, I see that these imperfections add a lot of character to my drawing.

Today, I am challenging my inner perfectionist, by deliberately letting go of control and drawing with my non-dominant hand.

Will you try it today too? It's a lot of fun!
