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!

And welcome to Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I went for a walk with my sketchbook in my bag, looking for a nice place to sit and draw. I realized that this might just be the last sunny fall drawing outside this year, so I decided to share the process with you.
