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.

Travel Sketchbook Tour (Italy!)

Travel Sketchbook Tour (Italy!)

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today, I've got something really special to share with you. I'm gonna take you on a little journey through my trusty sketchbook. Looking at the pages brings me right back to a week in Italy.

I was lucky enough to teach a week-long workshop in northern Italy, organized by The Blue Walk.
Of course, I had to document the whole adventure in my travel sketchbook. I used my sketchbook for my demo drawings during class on location and for capturing the daily life and scenery around me.

In today’s flipthrough, you'll get a glimpse of the incredible experiences I had on this trip.

And I have good news: I'll be teaching on one of these epic art vacations with The Blue Walk again next year - in Greece!
If you'd like to take a dream trip AND do it with a bunch of artists like you, while learning in daily classes with me, then go here. (Yep, this is indeed a shameless plug!)
