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.

Project Palooza: Continue Your Sketchbook Adventures

Project Palooza: Continue Your Sketchbook Adventures

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today I will be working in my accordion sketchbook, which I am filling with "snapshots" of my home, one page at a time.

I hope you get inspired as I share my process, the joy, and insights while filling one of many pages on this drawing journey.  I am learning along the way, and I hope you will learn together with me.

If you've started a (similar) project but haven't kept up, remember: every stroke counts!
By continuing your creative projects, you're building your skills, but more importantly, you are feeding your artistic spirit. Embrace the ongoing exploration, and let's keep those sketchbooks brimming with inspiration!

Also included in this video: two(!) sketchbook flipthroughs of previous projects! Whoop!

Assignment for this week:
If you need an assignment for this week, then pick up your sketchbook and sit down anywhere in your home. It could be on your bed, on the couch. Under the couch, in the bathroom…
It doesn't matter because you know that everything becomes interesting as soon as you start drawing it and don't forget to have fun doing it.
