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 habit too, because it can make you feel good.

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Workshop season is in full swing, so I'm teaching, traveling, and creating lots of demo drawings. This means I have a stack of sketchbooks that I haven't shown you yet, but that's about to change.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing some sketchbook tours with you. Today, we're diving into an A4 Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook, which I filled during April and May 2024. This sketchbook includes sketches from Lisbon, where I was leading a workshop together with my friend Cynthia Morris, and a bit from my trip to America.

Join me as I flip through these pages and share stories from my travels, techniques, and creative experiments. You'll see sketches from workshops, playful drawings, and even some familiar scenes from my Draw Tip Tuesday videos.

Remember, you can also join me online for monthly live online Mini-Workshops on Zoom.
These 90-minute sessions are perfect for all levels, and we have a blast drawing together.

I share exclusive videos and other goodies with my patrons.
