happy to help!

Always such a good artist. That is so cool you got married in Vegas - I would've never guessed.. ❤ 💙

You are an inspiration! I've been doing some random art in my life but this year I am somehow getting serious about it. I just started following you and also I have stated my "serious" sketchbook journal... 1 page so far 😁. You are great! Kudos!

Hi! Have you finished that first sketchbook?

This was so enjoyable! Thank you for sharing. It was inspiring to keep journals and do everyday things.

"Olala" you were already a real artist! What a great sketchbook! I am a big fan....

I loved this so much. I also “got hitched” in Las Vegas. Ours was at the Graceland Wedding chapel. 25 years ago this May. Wow! Cool to look back at such a wonderful time and I love how you documented it. Cheers!

That was so fun to see your first bound book of sketches and at a very exciting and special time of your life….marriage! Even though you have grown since then, you had great drawing talent then. I was impressed on what skills you had then and carried along with you through the years. I was very happy to see this!

This is so awesome! Does your Dad have a sketchbook too? How fun would that be to see ? 🙂

Koosje, I just loved this video. So full of happiness and enthusiasm. Funnily I was talking to a friend the other day about sketch books and how I loved them. I have only been doing this a couple of years and before that drew on sheets of paper. *Just* like you said, I find it so much more freeing and fun in a book. You draw and close the book! You keep that drawing but it isn't this precious object that a single sheet of paper seems to be. I have been watching your DTT for 2 years and I LOVE THEM. Thank you and love from chilly Scotland❤.

Thank you, Albertine!

That was so wonderful to watch!

What a precious piece of Koosje history! So many beautiful drawings and paintings! I love your pointillist works :) and I really liked the background washes and the combination of drawings & memorabilia.

Oh Koosje, I love this video. How cool to see where you came from and how your style developed, but never changed. A real inspiration to keep on drawing. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, what an amazing book, I also went through your works, but what I couldn't think of was that you have such a beautiful collection. It's like a personal notebook, beautifully presented and designed. This is the notebook that I and many others want.

I loved this as a beginner for you free me to begin and just let me be Free to be

What a great documentation of your ;home life and that meaningful vacation! It must be so fun to look back on. 2 questions: did you do stipling to get that kind of dotted effect on your hand drawing on April 22nd? AAAnnnddd, - did you intend to get married on that vacation? Oh, wait, one more question- did you apply the background washes before or after the ink?

Yes it was stippling and yes it was completely planned. it was the only reason to ever go to Vegas. Most background washes were done first.

Thank you for sharing a trip through your sketch book Koosje. I too love the pages with the colourful background washes. I will have to give that a try.

A wonderful array of ideas and creativity. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Koosje. Another cheering and inspiring video. I am at that early scritchy scratchy stage and I love fountain pens for sketching. I have just evolved from extra fine nibs to a new pen with a medium nib! Progress indeed. Maybe in a few years’ time like you I’ll be using a broad nib? Who knows. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and creative memories.

Jy inspireer my en elke keer as ek die Nederlandse woorde in jou sketsboeke sien....pure joy! I love languages and drawing! Love your authenticity. Jou Afrikaanse volgeling waardeer jou.

I find that I'm frustrated that I haven't finished one sketchbook yet. More than likely cuz I have 4 going at once. Two I'm painting in & 2 just sketches. I just started 6 months ago sketch booking & I feel scattered. Which is a high contrast to my regular "life". At least it's not causing anxiety, quite the opposite.

Take it on your own pace and enjoy the sketchbook time you take!

it would be nice to see some of your Dad's books; your where great, how much of a beginning beginner were you then - the stuff was pretty mature....

I have always kept drawing since I was a kid. I only started to use sketchbooks to keep sometime around 2012 or 2013.
