Travel Workshop Sketchbook Tour

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
 

In today's video I flip through my Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook, filled mostly during my trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. I was there teaching a workshop with Studio 56 Boutique, and you'll see a mix of demo drawings, spontaneous sketches, and scenes from my free time exploring the city.

You'll see that I used various sketching techniques, from drawing first in line, then adding color, to experimenting with collage and texture. I share my experiences at iconic spots like Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyrood, and the Writers Museum, as well as quieter moments by the water and in nature.

Upcoming Workshops

If you're excited by the idea of sketching on the go, don't miss out on my upcoming travel workshops in 2025. One highlight is "Capture the Lisbon Wow" in April, lead by me and  Cynthia Morris. This workshop will be an immersive experience to explore many layers of creativity in your sketchbook. Spaces are limited, so if you're interested, visit this link.

And for those who prefer to stay closer to home, you know I also offer monthly online workshops.

Having said all that, there’s always an adventure waiting in your sketchbook!
You don't have to go on a big trip to have fun and explore.

Your Assignment This Week:

This week, challenge you to go on a mini adventure with your sketchbook.
Explore your surroundings. You can do this at home, in your town, or visiting a friend, to name a few options.
Step out of your comfort zone, try something new, and most importantly, have fun with it! 

I would love to see what you did, so please share your experiences and drawings on social media. I am @koosjekoene on Instagram and Koosje Koene Illustrations on Facebook.
