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.

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday

Today I am showing you the sketchbook I filled in February and March this year; a Hahnemühle Toned Watercolor Book.

I love flipping through other people's sketchbooks, and this is what I want for my upcoming book: it should feel like you're going through one of my sketchbooks. Only this one is filled with drawings from many many years. In it, I also share stories, tips and advice for your own sketchbook, your creative habit, and basically more creativity in your life. You can sign up to receive updates about my book, and when it's released, you're the first to know: https://www.koosjekoene.com/book

At the end of this video I mention the Paris Sketchbook workshop; all the information is here: https://www.originalimpulse.com/paris-sketchbook/
